"I'm not scared of you."
He meets my gaze. "You should be."

I’m not looking for a knight in shining armor when I approach Saxon Priest for a job, but there’s no preparing for the reality of meeting London’s most heartless villain in the flesh.

His eyes are cold, his mouth scarred when he dismisses me as fragile, weak.

He couldn’t be more wrong.

Beneath my sunny smile, there’s nothing I won’t do to protect my family . . . even if it means facing off against a notorious killer.

He tells me to run.
I refuse to tremble in fear.

He warns me that I could never handle him.
I can’t help but wonder what it would take to see him break.

Saxon is everything I should hate—
And the last man I should ever want.

But when he risks everything to save me, I succumb to the ice in his veins and the blistering heat that tethers us together.

Saxon Priest may be the devil in disguise but I’m Isla Quinn, and I killed the king.

Road To Fire is the first book in the Broken Crown series. Intrigue. Grit. Soul-wrenching love. This is not your average royal romance. Enter if you dare.

Beautifully written, extraordinary insight to the characters and their relationships. Character reflection is wonderful throughout the book from both Isla and Saxon. Kept me awake long into the night and unable to do ANYTHING until I had read the entire book!

Unlike anything what I have read before!

Reviewed in Australia on 27 March 2022

▪ "I breathe, you inhale, and we both go up in flames." ▪

Unlike anything what I have read before, this story is amazing! It is original, emotional, adventurous and romantic.

Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. Will that be enough for you to read this book? I certainly hope so. If not, maybe this will do it otherwise you are a lost cause🤷

Spies, assasins, brotherhood, political intrigues. Scary but hot Saxon Priest who is scarred for life, doesn't think anyone can love him or knows what love is until he meets her. Isla Quinn, woman with many secrets who isn't scared of him, which she maybe should be, who shows him what love is and who the only one is who is allowed to see him, the real him, scarred, broken, all the imperfections.

This book is worth your time, it sucks you in, it breaks you but also heals you! •

Reviewed in Australia on 30 April 2020

I wasn't sure what I was getting into reading this book. It started off a little slow for me and took me a little to get into. But once I got through it was pretty amazing, the characters were strong and hot of the pages and I really enjoyed the different aspect of romance in it with the reality it was set in.

This is a dark romance with enough to captivate you while devouring it.

Review: Broken Crown Trilogy 1: Road To Fire

Reviewed in Australia on 30 April 2020

Road To Fire by Maria Luis is the first book in her brand new Broken Crown Trilogy . A new spin on a royal romance, where the royalty is on the outskirts and the main characters are part of a struggle between those loyal to the crown and those struggling to break free from the chains of the monarchy. Enter the Priest Brothers, their anti-loyalist pub, and a woman desperate for steady income and a way to keep fighting the crown.

Told in dual POV between Saxon Priest, the middle brother, scarred at a young age and intolerant of most people and Isla Quinn, oldest sister, raising her siblings since her parents tragic death, and willing to fight hard for what she believes in.

Dark and twisted with shifting loyalties and questionable ethics, this book was amazing. Quite possibly my favorite read of the year so far and the book hangover was a doozy. I need more of the Priest brothers STAT! This book does not end on a cliffhanger, it is the story of the romance that builds between Isla and Saxon, and it was amazing and absolutely unputdownable!!! Enjoy!

As much as I like romance I love more when an author takes the chance to do it differently . A dark romance that show not matter how broken you think you are, you deserved to be loved, cared and wanted. Is a leap of faith.

I had been eagerly waiting to read this book ever since I saw the cover and read the blurb. Maria did not disappoint in this epic story of lies, betrayal, revenge and love! Saxon & Isla’s chemistry was off the charts! The storyline was unlike anything I’ve ever read!

How in the world do I move on from this book. From Saxon and Isla, characters that have embedded this deep into my heart?

Well, I’m not sure that I can, but my hope, my saving grace for my poor heart, is that we hopefully get glimpses of them again in books two and three, Saxon’s brothers stories.

So, prepare yourself my friends, Saxon Priest and Isla Quinn’s story is going to gut you, it will rock you to your core, it will torture you, and I assure you,
you will love every.single.word of it! Road to Fire is book one in the Broken Crown Trilogy and while it is not a standalone and does end on a storyline cliffhanger, our couple Saxon and Isla get a HEA in this book.

I love Saxon Priest!! I really, really do. He’s gruff, and gritty and harsh and hides behind that exterior. He is so complex, there are layers upon tragic layers to this man. For those and many more reasons he doesn’t do relationships or attachments. Then you have the gorgeous Isla Quinn. She is sweet, yet feisty and fearless. Like a real booty kickin chick y’all! She hides many secrets and lies behind her eyes and quick witted sarcasm. There are so many reasons they should never fit together. Saxon is dominant and alpha and she’s strong and independent. Those things alone would make them a challenge for each other. She has no problems standing up to him. She’s got grit and a spine of steel. But like two magnets drawn to one another, it was inevitable they would come together. I for one could not wait! This would be an epic throw down when temptation won out, of that I was sure!

These two are dynamic. They are off the charts hot.
Everything about these two managed to take my emotions on a trip through the tumble dryer and I came out a bit of a mess. They made me laugh, cry, swoon, scream in frustration, fan myself cause they are oh so HAWT!Then I cheered, I cried again, fist bumped the air and then gave a big ol’ southern “h*!! yeah” ' holler and was breathless again by the end!

Maria Luis crafted such an amazing tale full of murder, lies, darkness and intrigue. But y’all, her brilliance shines more than ever in this book. I would definitely say it’s her BEST BOOK YET!! She vividly painted this beautifully eerie, and twisted story, with rainy and smoggy settings, sounds , smells, sights, in such exquisite details that if I closed my eyes I could almost visualize this playing out like a movie in my head. I’m telling you my friends. YOU MUST READ THIS!!
Maria Luis will shock you over and over again. This story will suck you into its web of lies and deception. When secrets are revealed and choices must be made, will Saxon and Isla overcome all the obstacles mounting against them, can their love conquer all?

Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️- MY HEART!! This book O-M-G.. Action, secrets , suspense, angst, hot sexy times, so much heart, banter, blood and sweat, tears, fight scenes, forgiveness, revenge, and frustration, lies on top of lies! The 180 * change in the H, twists and turns around every corner. These characters are LIFE!💀💀!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥-Holy Hades Y’all!!Saxon and Isla are pure fire and ice perfection! There are melted panties and kindles all across the world because of this book. (Maria’s not even sorry either y’all)
🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪🌪Holy Cliffhanger Batman! There is a storyline cliffy, but our beautiful couple get a perfect Happy! 😍
🔫 Trigger Warning-This book is a Dark romance feel and does have violent scenes that could be considered triggers for some. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.
