Savage Hate - Dani Da Silva

I loved the connection between Cairo and Rocco in the first half of the book. It’s pure, wholesome, and unexpectedly tender. Their ability to make lemonade out of lemons felt genuinely uplifting, and watching Cairo grow stronger — both physically and mentally — was one of my favorite parts of the story.

Even though they’ve built this amazing life together, their fears linger quietly in the background. Rocco’s trauma makes him terrified of losing her, while Cairo fears losing everything they’ve created. As the book progresses, both of those fears come true, leading to a completely new and emotionally charged dynamic in the second half.

My heart ached for Cairo — her pain is raw, honest, and impossible not to feel. And Rocco’s instinct to protect her never fades, even when he tries to distance himself. He fights their connection, but the pull between them refuses to loosen its grip, no matter how hard he tries.

This was a fantastic close to the duet. The way the story progressed — the tension, the emotion, the healing, the hard conversations, the choices — all of it built to an ending that felt earned and meaningful. I love where the characters ended up and how their journey came full circle in a way that made every struggle worth it.

And yeah, she is worth it a thousand times.  Nothing in the world matters to me if I don't have her.

I received this as an ARC and am leaving this review voluntarily.
