Release Day Blitz + Review: My Maddie by Tillie Cole
Not even love can conquer the demons of our pasts...
Flame and Maddie have found solace and safety in one another’s arms, two fractured souls beginning to heal. But no matter how strong their love grows, it can never completely vanquish the demons of their pasts. These demons are dormant, not defeated.
Now a new enemy threatens the Hangmen, and a new revelation threatens the peace Maddie and Flame hold so dear. Flame is fighting a multitude of wars – against the club’s new foe, against the horrors of his past, and against his fears – but the fire in his blood may be the only victor.
As Flame begins to spiral into his own personal hell, it is up to Maddie to bring her husband back into her heart. To remind him that, together, they can face any obstacle standing in their way. To show him that no one and nothing can tear them apart again.
His Maddie.
Her Flame.
The fight for their forever.
Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains sexual situations, violence, sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and mature topics. Recommended for age 18 years and up.

"You could never hurt me, baby. You are my salvation, my remedy, my salve. You were a dream fulfilled and a hope granted."
Flame and Maddie are my favorite couple in this series. So I was very excited when I saw that this book would focus on them again. Flame is one of the most broken, misunderstood, haunted and intriguing characters I have ever met. In this book the demons he silenced are back with a vengeance. They are even darker and more cruel than before. This will be his most difficult and heartbreaking fight so far. Maddie is one of the most supportive and beautiful heroines, and always has Flame's best interest in mind. However, sometimes she will have to go to extreme measures to bring Flame back. This book broke my heart but Tillie Cole mended it at the end. This was such an emotional rollercoaster, and I just couldn't keep my tears contained. Flame and Maddie already had gone through a lot, and it just was so heartbreaking to see Flame pulled back into his own personal hell.
"His flames were neither evil nor devil tainted. They were sharp bursts of redemption. Of hope. Flame was light. He was my warmth."
This is one of my all time favorite series, and I just love being reunited with all my favorite characters. I love catching up and see how they are doing. I was happy that Ash' POV was included in this book, it was a great way to see how he was dealing with everything. I love him so much and the emotional moments between him and Flame were heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Seeing Flame fight his demons was painful but very necessary, however Ash' journey is just beginning. I don't have to say much more, but if you love this series then you'll love this book as well. I just can't get enough of the Hades Hangmen, and I really hope that this series won't end for a very long time.
"You are a good man, baby. You are my universe. You are my light and my reason for living. Do you understand this, Flame?"
