Love Displayed: Pure Sin Trilogy Book II Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 41 ratings

April Young's dark past makes her want nothing to do with men. Instead, she finds comfort in owning her own pleasure—even in public places. It's empowering and helps her forget. What she didn't count on was Javier Perez trying to force his way into her heart, claiming her in a way no man has.

Javier Perez is a loner. He's always thought love is a distraction and makes you weak.

Until her.

April catches his eye, and his walls begin to crumble. Pulling her out of her past is one of the hardest missions he's ever encountered, but he's determined to prove to her that love conquers all.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve always believed in the concept of “love conquers all." I’m a down-to-earth woman, married to the love of my life, and a hopeless romantic. I started my reading journey with The Secret of The Old Clock by Nancy Drew and I’ve never looked back. I fell in love with words because they create change and force you to use your imagination. With encouragement from my Husband, I continued my journey by creating my blog The Erotic Book Review. Blogging has given me an outlet to discuss my love of Erotic Romance with like-minded people which catapulted me into becoming an author.

I live in North Georgia and I've been married to the love of my life for over 30 years. We're parents of 5 adults and we have 11 grandchildren with one on the way. I've spent the last 9 years co-driving a big rig with my hubby, but as of April, I'm home and writing full-time. When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading and working out. I love meeting new people, enjoy learning about other cultures, watching football, and binge-watching TV shows.

One quote I live by... "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

Dios Mio! (Oh my God!). Man it was so great taking a trip back into Pure Sin in author Thetta James' upcoming new release, Love Displayed, book two in the Pure Sin Trilogy Series.Imagine if you will, one moment in time. A moment that changes everything...One moment in time is all it took for one woman's carefree happy life to change from good to unimaginably bad. Terrified and untrusting after one man's heinous actions leaves her broken, shattered, scared and scarred to her very core. At that moment April Young knew her life would never be the same.One moment in time is all it took for one man to see his future standing right in front of him, across a crowded room. Cliché as that might sound, that's exactly what happens to Javi Perez standing in the middle of Pure Sin. In that very moment he knew his life would never be the same.I absolutely ADORED our heroine, April Young. She completely stole my heart. She owns and runs a bakery, Delectable Edibles. She suffers from severe PTSD from having been viciously attacked by someone she trusted. She suffers from panic attacks that can occur at any given moment, leaving her vulnerable. She also doesn’t believe she will ever find love because of her lack of trust stemming from the horror that was bestowed upon her four years prior. She is uninhibited and has a kinky side but has no outlet due to her fears of never finding love. If only there was a man who was worthy of that role. A man of undying patience, love and guidance.I think I loved her soft nature especially when she’s afraid. The mother in me makes me feel that way. I just wanted to shield her from danger. Recovery from her attack doesn’t come easy to her. It’s a painful, fearful journey towards her recovery. It punched me in my gut just how hard that deplorable event left her empty of what she most deserved, love.

It is there that April is introduced to our Hero Javi.Our Hero. Swoonylicious Javier (Javi) Perez is a former DEA agent & former Navy Seal. Now he's a detective for the Santa Monica Police Department and is currently working undercover at a club called Pure Sin.In that one moment in time a connection was born and it was pure pleasure watching it happen to this couple. No couple deserved it more than April and Javi. He is absolutely pure sin in the most fantastic way. And the way he spoke Spanish to her, GAH!!! Very sexy. The undying affection he shows April is what heroes are made of. Sometimes, a hero like him is all you need to overcome the fear and madness. A man who never gives up and proves to her time and time again that they were meant to be together. Honestly, Javi gave me swoonylicious goose bumps.To quote April….“This man is an anomaly. He looks past my pain and sees the woman that I want to be.”I loved this couple with all my heart. I rooted for them time and time again. Will Javi break through April’s fears? Or will she be stuck in limbo. Never being able to have what she wants most? A good man is hard to find. Javi proves differently.

When that danger gets too close, will Javi be able to get to her in time? Or will other dangers get in the way? I’m not telling. But it’s exciting and suspenseful.Our Villain. Karl Woodrow is most definitely a wolf/maniac in sheep’s clothing. I’m not saying anything more about his character. You have to meet him for yourself. Believe me, you will pray that he will meet his maker! I loved hating him.MY FAVORITE LINE IN BOOK:“I say let him knock the cobwebs off it and rearrange your guts.”Sassy Chass.Crystal says "I agree with Chass, let him knock the bottom out of you.”The main characters have such a deep connection that can only come from the spot on character development by the author.

At least I did.I’m trying to think back to where I’ve read about a hero that is as swoony as Javi. He’s the entire package. He opens his heart right away because of an instant connection. Even if that connection was a room apart from each other. He’s exactly what April needs.Is it possible to rise from the ashes, even when you feel broken, burned and scarred beyond recognition of your former self? Anything is possible if you have a Javi in your life.Find out for yourself and be a part of the beautiful happily ever after.. Read this beautifully written 5 star gut wrenching, powerfully emotional, riveting, loving and suspenseful romance. You just might find yourself a new number 1 Hero.

Oh, boy! Thetta James delivers on her 2nd installment of the Pure Sin Trilogy. Compelling! Love Displayed is a beautifully written story of courage and undeniable love. It is a heart-warming, feel-good story with characters you will fall in love with. Top it off with hot sex scenes and you won't want to stop reading until you have to because you've reached the last page.

Love displayed is romantic, with sizzling hot sex scenes. It's suspenseful and full of twists and turns. It's engaging!

Javi is a swoon-worthy, caring, protective, bold hero. April is the beautiful, desirable, inspiring heroine, who has some old wounds that only Javi can help heal. Together they are magic.

I appreciate how Thetta weaves April's background and characters from Love Hurts into this story. Love displayed is well-written. You definitely need to read this book.

Loved the story. The chemistry between Javi and April is undeniably delicious. They were both sympathetic characters and easy to relate to. I loved how Javi was the hero without being over the top. You find that he very much cares about April and the things she’s been through. The author does a fantastic job with a subject matter that is very difficult to deal with in fiction, especially when it’s so prevalent in real life.

Looking forward to the author’s next book! Well done!

First off, Ms. James takes a hard topic and makes it palatable. (Thank you for the trigger warning)

April Young survived the worst possible violation a woman can suffer and came out the other side a stronger person, thanks to her friends and the love of Javi.

April was on her way to rebuilding her life, except for one thing...the love of a good man. When a fateful meeting between April and Javi happens, Javi must prove he is the right man to help April. Their journey is anything but easy with April's past coming back to haunt her, but their future happiness is worth fighting for.

This story gives hope to rape survivors. The unconditional love and support from family and friends can make all the difference.

What can I say besides BRAVO!! This story gave me alll the feels, the love between three best friends really comes threw. April has been threw something very traumatic by the hands of someone she thought was a true friend, she was left broken and unsure of love. She has a hard time trusting any man, until Javi Perez comes into her life. Right away she feels the difference in him, he helps her fight threw her darkness, and gives her the love and protection she craves. Their chemistry is off the charts, and April feels secure with him and is able to unleash her inner freak. All in all this story was amazing, it shows that with the love of your sisters, and the support and love of a good man you can overcome anything!

I absolutely loved Javi and April's story. This book gave me all the feels and it was awesome. The writing in this story was just amazingly beautiful and I loved how the author handled such sensitive situation matter. April is stong,confident and loving and was most importantly not a victim but a survivor. Javi is strong, sexy, protective and loving. These two characters are just perfect together, and the love they shared lept off the pages. I also liked how it flowed and tied into the first book and gave new points of views from different character's pov without being redundant. Thetta James really knocked it out of the park with this book. Now I can't wait to read Chass and Lance's story next.

The hunt to take down a drug ring and the emotional ramifications of a tragedy! Javi and April’s story was a slow burn , but once her fears are confronted, it turns explosive! On a side not , the descriptive ways Thetta describes her meals made me hungry! A sneak peek of what’s to come has me overly excited! Fantastic book!

I was privileged to be invited to ARC Love Displayed (book 2 of Pure Sin Trilogy)

Wow, what can I say! Yet again Thetta has delivered. What a journey of emotions. The story involves Jarvi a detective investigating a drugs ring and April a rape survivor who meet by chance at the club Pure Sin.

Thetta takes you on Aprils journey to rebuild her life and trust in men. Jarvi is the “dominant”who patiently reawakens her latent desires, trust and love. Their journey is not straightforward and has some sit on the edge of your seat and hold your breath moments. A highly recommended read ❤️

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2021
A powerful story of recovery and empowerment, twinned with a fast moving, thrilling plot that had me enthralled throughout. April and Javi’s book is intense; it pulled at my emotions and I cared deeply for a couple who were just meant to be. The patience and love that Javi shows April is so endearing and helps her take control of her life and front past nightmares. I cried, I cheered and boy did I need a fan to call me down as Ms James certainly knows how to write a hot, sizzling scene. Highly recommend adding Love Displayed to your TBR!
