Wanderlust: A Dark Romance Novel by Skye Warren <- RAISED BY A STRICT AGORAPHOBIC MOTHER and Gabby says: “ It’s a bit of dark read.” and Antonella agrees: “ One that always sticks out for me was Wanderlust by Skye Warren. Start with It Ain’t Me, Babe (Hades Hangmen Book 1)” and Lauren agrees: “…all 3 books have heroine’s who escaped from a cult.” and Katherine says: “Loved all 3 books.” ( my review) Hades Hangmen Series by Tillie Cole <- RAISED IN A CULT Alessia says: “Heroine is raised in a cult. With nowhere else to go, and against his better judgment Cole takes her in…“ Candice’s recommendation! Resisting Her by Kendall Ryan <- SHE’S BEEN RAISED IN A CULT AND AN FBI AGENT RAIDS it and has to take her in!! “ … At nineteen, she’s too old for foster care and too damaged to live on her own. This is one of my favorite books ever! And Diane agrees! “I thought Sheltered was sooo good” ( my review) Sheltered by Charlotte Stein <- RAISED BY A DOMINEERING ABUSIVE FATHER & SHE SPIES ON THE “BAD BOY” OVER THE FENCE… they secretly become friends, but the fear I feel WITH her each time they sneak to talk to each other (and the intensity of the steam between the two is OUT OF THIS WORLD). 😀 (suggest your favorites in the comments) This is a work in progress, and I will continue to add to this list as we find ’em.
Maryse: I love this genre!! I already have a few on my list (example: Sheltered by Charlotte Stein) so I’ll start one, but I’m also curious for the ones my fellow readers have loved… “…I read Resisting Her by Kendall Ryan and I got kinda hooked on that dynamic you know innocent heroine reluctant hero could you recommend some books for me please. A “real-world” hero (most often a bad-ass or even a bad guy!! Eeeeep! :D) and his innocent heroine… the growth between both these characters can be so fulfilling!Īnd I’ve been recently asked to make us a list! I have a few in mind already, but I know plenty of my fellow readers had some recommendations too! And I especially love it when romance is involved. I LOVE exploring stories like this, becoming the characters, seeing the world through her “new” eyes as she remembers and relates it to everything she lived previous… and maybe even wants to go back to. New lessons to be learned as their fears, and their beliefs are tested, and that can make for an exciting, and/or emotionally heart rending journey for both that character and the reader! They find themselves reevaluating everything they thought was true.
So many of us get a real kick out of the dynamic and “social study” of a sheltered character (one that lives differently from the “social norms” due to strict upbringing, religious beliefs, and/or abusive situations) that is thrust into the “real” world.
