BLURB

Even salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned

Beauty can be a curse.

Faith can be a cage.

Only love can set you free.

A few long weeks after being reluctantly ripped from the comforting embrace of her sacred prophets religious communethe only life she has ever knowna terrified Delilah is thrust into a world enveloped by evil and swimming in sin.

Steadfastly devout in her faith, and retaining the deep belief that her soul is innately tarnished as a branded Cursed woman of Eve, Delilah is determined to find her way home to her people in The Order and away from the corrupt and damned outlaw motorcycle clubThe Hades Hangmenwho hold her at their secluded compound for her protectiona 'protection' she strongly resents.

Delilah yearns to return home, convinced that only amongst her own people, and under the holy guidance of the Lords revealed prophet, can her Satan-spawned soul be truly saved. Conditioned her entire life to believe she is a witch... a life-long temptress the devils whore... Delilah increasingly resents her beautiful face, her shapely body and her sensuous effect on men. But when a man of the motorcycle cluba deeply sinful yet stunningly beautiful manis charged with her care, Delilah begins to see that this dangerous and moralless sinner from the 'outside' may offer her something she did not know could truly exist: unconditional love.

Kyler Ky Willis loves his life: a daily abundance of brotherhood, liquor, the freedom of the open-road andbest of allhis pick of hot women. Raised a biker brat and now VP of the most notorious MC in the States, Ky has no shortage of club sluts warming his bed; a situation he takes full advantage of until a certain blonde enters his life a gorgeous pilgrim-blonde he cant get out of his head a pilgrim-blonde he and his club recently-rescued from some backward religious cult and a pilgrim-blonde hes been ordered to keep the hell away from and his whorish hands off.

When yet another in a lengthy line of drunken blunders forces Ky to reluctantly take charge of the pilgrim-blondes care, he realizes that there could be more to this woman than just supermodel looks and a stacked set of tits. He begins to see that she could be the woman who could do the impossibletame his wild ways and capture his reluctant heart.

But the unyielding bonds of Lilahs past are strong, her people determined and, with a new Prophet in charge and hell bent on revenge, they are mightily reluctant to let her go...


Review by Amy 

Let me start off by saying that this was a total unexpected LOVE for me. I am not a fan of MC books…some say that it’s because I have never read a really good one and maybe they are right. But this was Tillie Cole so I couldn’t say no. I am so glad I started this series because it literally BLEW MY MIND and changed everything I thought I hated about MC books!! It Ain’t Me Babe made me fall head over heels for the rough and harsh world of the motor cycle club life and Heart Recaptured solidified that passion for understanding their lifestyle.

This book was SO FREAK’N AMAZING ON SO MANY LEVELS!!! I mean its complexity had me guessing and wondering what in the world these characters were going to do next. The character dynamic was as harsh and unfeeling as it was mystical and beautiful. I felt every last breath each character had for each other and themselves. The utter fight for good VS. evil was played out on such a basic humanistic level that that I couldn’t help but feel everything Lilah and Ky wrestled with. These characters were brilliantly planned and brought so much balance to this book.

Oh and the whole motor cycle club alongside the religious group…HOLY HELL!!! That kind of angst is so worthy of a serious glass of wine. I mean OMG was that an amazing level of drama. Not only are these characters trying to find themselves on their own AND find a way to be together, BUT now you have what seems like to world fighting against them too???  And not just any world but the descendent of GOD himself. This plot line was intricately woven and threaded so many characters that I was literally entranced and compelled to read this all in one sitting.

Tillie brought an amazing level of bad ass to go up against bad guy that I was literally screaming at the kindle screen! It was so hard to believe that a MC club could be so crude and unfriendly and yet show the kind of emotion these frail characters so desperately needed. Then she goes and brings in the big guns with religious nut bags and the Klan…. Again the amount of research and care she put into this book is 100% seen and appreciated.

I 100% recommend this series and this book especially! 5 star read on every level. Tillie has never written anything I didn’t crave to devour and truly appreciate. I am so happy I placed my MC faith in this woman because she proved to me that it’s not the genre but it is the author that can make a book something amazing. This book far exceeded my expectation for the MC genre and my love for Tillie. I am so happy for her and the release of this series because it just reminds me that SHE CAN DO ANYTHING AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE BRILLIANT!

Review by Erin 

WOW! Such an amazing book. I fell in love with It Ain't Me Babe and it has happened again with Heart Recaptured. I love how the story brings you in. Tillie has a way of writing that grips you and doesn't let go. The detail in this story is great. Lilah's struggle with being in a world she doesn't know, while still holding on to her beliefs had me in tears. The love that Ky has for Lilah is beautiful. I suggest that everyone read this series!

5 Stars 





AUTHOR BIO -

Amazon & USA Today Best Selling Author, Tillie Cole, is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.

Being a scary blend of Scottish and English, Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her much loved dirty jokes.

Having been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.

One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.

Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed theyre her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!

After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl... Ye-haw!
