Souls Unfractured by Tillie Cole Blog Tour

“For fractured souls are like magnets.
Drawn to collide into an impossible bliss…”

Labeled a ‘Cursed’ woman of Eve from birth, Maddie has endured nothing but pain and repression at the hands of The Order’s most abusive elder, Moses. Now living with her sister in The Hangmen’s secluded compound, finally, Maddie, is free. Free from the suffocating faith she no longer believes in. Free from endless years of physical and mental torment.

Just… free…

At age twenty-one, the timid and shy Maddie is content to live within the confines of her new home—safe from the outside world, safe from harm and, strangely, protected by the Hangmen’s most volatile member; the heavily pierced and tattooed, Flame.

Flame.

The man who ceaselessly watches over her with his midnight dark and searing eyes. The man who protects her with a breath-taking intensity. And the man who stirs something deep within her numbed heart.

But when circumstances conspire for Flame to need HER help, Maddie bravely risks it all for the broken man who has captivated her fragile soul.

The Hangmen’s most infamous member, Flame, is ruled by one thing—anger. Plagued by haunting demons from his past, an all-consuming rage, and isolated by an abhorrent hatred of being touched, Flame's days are filled with suffocating darkness, pierced only by a single ray of light—Maddie. The shy, beautiful woman he cannot purge from his thoughts. The woman he has an overwhelming need to possess…
... the only person who has ever been able to touch him.

Flame’s mission in life is to protect Maddie, to keep her safe. Until a trigger from his troubled past sends him spiraling into madness, trapping him in the deepest recesses of his disturbed mind.

His Hangmen brothers fear that Flame is beyond saving.

His only hope of salvation: Maddie and her healing light.

Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language, and very mature topics. Recommended for age 18 years and over.

I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. I had never looked at men. After what I had endured at the hands of males, I could not think of them as handsome. I had given no thought to the matter at all. I simply did not think like that. I had never felt butterflies in my stomach. I had never felt my heart flutter, had never felt myself losing my very breath. When Lilah and Mae would talk of Ky and Styx, when they would blush just describing their love’s faces, eyes, lips, I did not comprehend.

But standing here, over Flame, right now, staring at his anguished face—his sharp features: slightly crooked nose, full lips, dark short beard, and those soulful eyes, those incredibly long black lashes—a feeling previously unknown to me bloomed in my heart, filling me with light. With an incredible heat. This close, I felt a tension spark between us. I felt something magnetic.

I… I wanted him as my own. In this moment, seeing the man who had become the center of my world, breaking, I wanted nothing more than to save him. To gift him the peace he so richly deserved, even if it meant sacrificing my newly-awakened heart in the process.

On a loud hiss, Flame’s body stiffened. My grip tightened on the handle of the knife. It felt like a ton weight in my hand, but I knew what I had to do. For Flame, I told myself, You must do this for Flame.

Steadying my shaking grip, I raised the blade, leaving it suspended it in the air. I inhaled deeply, then looked down at Flame. His beautiful eyes stalked me. With tears filling my eyes, I whispered, “Flame… I know you are lost right now, but I want to save you. I want to save you as you have so often saved me.” I swallowed the lump clogging my throat and continued. “I know you want eternal peace, but… but… I cannot… I cannot take your life.” Tears streamed from my eyes, but I lowered my mouth to a few inches from his ear. “I know the flames pain you greatly. And I know you live with pain. I know you no longer want to live. I…” I sniffed back my emotions as Flame became eerily still. “I have been there too. I have felt the urge to fade, to never wake again. But then something happened to me. Someone happened to me… You.”

Flame’s erratic breathing blew against the hair falling over my face, but he did not move. His body was completely and utterly still.

Rearing back slightly, I searched his glazed eyes and prayed to the Almighty that he was seeing me. That he could hear my words. I itched to run my fingers through his hair, like I had seen Mae do to Styx, but I held back.

“I have watched you, Flame. I have watched you as you have watched me. And I have seen you free the flames. I have counted with you from my window as you have administered the slashes to your flesh, releasing what you believe runs within you.” My legs began to shake as I lifted the knife, and lined up the blade over his arm. “I will not take your life, but I will help you release the flames. I will stay here with you, in this room, until you come back to me.”

This book was sooo worth the wait!!!
To finally get Flame's story, to finally see Maddie living – it was beyond my expectations. How can 2 impossibly flawed/damaged people find solace in one another – heal together?

We get to know to Flame, he's always been the scary and sadistic guy, but I've never pictured him as "human" (does that make sense?). His back story is heart-wrenching and disturbing, but more so is the way he perceives himself.
I feel like I already know Maddie and she's deserving of a happy future. She's stayed in the background while her sister's found love, she's watched them grow together with their respective bikers all while fantasizing of a different life for herself.
Everyone deserves love – some have to fight for it, others just have to accept it

This entire series has blown me away: Big sexy bikers, crazy cult chicks, compassion and love, understanding and learning – all culminate into an outrageously exciting series.

Souls Unfractured should not be read as a standalone. The get the most out of Flame and Maddie's story you must read It Ain't Me Babe and Heart Recaptured, if not for Flame and Maddie than just because they are fantastic reads.

Flame has issues that's no secret, but to see his story unfold, the pain he endured daily as a child was heart breaking. I couldn't put this book down. Tillie Cole combines two worlds seamlessly. The religious cult and an MC. Two things you would never think go together but when she does it, it has amazing consequences.

“I know I’m different. I know I don’t see the world like everyone else does. But I want to see your world, Maddie. Even if it’s the only one I’ll ever understand.”

Maddie has only ever had horrible experiences with men, the men of The Order. They've used and abused her. She's grown up in a horrible situation believing only what the prophet has taught her, false truths and lies.

“How can you be evil when you ignite such hope in me?”

Everything changes one night when Flame and the brothers of the Hangmen, take down The Order. Will Maddie understand the world outside of the commune? Can Flame calm the flames enough for her?

“I don’t feel the flames when you’re near. Somehow you calm the flames.”

My heart broke for Flame. I totally fell in love with him. The emotional chemistry is probably the highest I have ever read in a book. It wasn't about the sex, it was about the connection. I loved it. I can't wait to get more of the Hangmen.

On a side note I have to say as much I want to hate Ryder/Cain, I just can't. There is something about him that has me pulling for him.
