Undone

4.5 stars-dark, passionate, emotional

4.5 stars--UNDONE is the third instalment in Elisabeth Naughton’s contemporary, adult HOUSE OF SIN erotic, dark romantic suspense series focusing on twenty-four year old, American Natalie James, and thirty-two year old Italian businessman Luciano ‘Luc’ Salvatici. UNDONE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book two DECEIVED.

NOTE: Due to the story line content, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers including strong language, and graphic scenes of rape, torture, and abuse.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luc and Natalie) UNDONE follows the battle between Luciano Salvatici, and the House of Salvatici, one of the five powerful Houses of the Entente (informal alliance) in positions of control. Hundreds of years of deviance, power and sacrifice have culminated in a struggle between good and evil wherein evil will continue to reign unless the right man steps into the job. Hoping to protect the woman he loves Luc Salvatici will make a decision that could ultimately destroy his relationship with Natalie, and thusly any hopes for a happily ever after.

Throughout the story line Luc and Natalie will come face to face with the monster of their dreams. Luc’s attempts to protect Natalie from harm cease the moment he gives himself over to the House of Salvatici. Our couple will be caught up in a world of evil and deviance, power and control. No one is safe including loved ones and family; allegiance and honor are at the heart of centuries of dark secrets, and immoral and malevolent acts of brutality and corruption.

UNDONE is a vastly dark and passionate, heart breaking story of one family’s spiral of damnable acts of vicious behaviour. Elisabeth Naughton pulls the reader into the ultimate story of betrayal and horror, and the path our hero must navigate to save them all. The premise is edgy, riveting and dramatic; the characters are charismatic and inspiring; the romance is provocative and intense.
