4 Smooches
Synopsis
In this sexy, suspenseful New Adult novel, a young woman hiding from her criminal past is taken captive by her ex-boyfriend, the ultimate bad boy.
Evie is about to embark on the perfect life. Beautiful, poised, and engaged to a rising business star, she fits the part of trophy wife perfectly, except for one thing: her entire identity is a lie.
Five years ago she created a new identity for herself, but it all crashes back when something she witnessed years ago comes back to haunt her. Now she’s in danger of losing more than her social status.
Determined to protect the careful life she’s built for herself, Evie doesn’t want anything to do with Riley, the criminal for hire who broke her heart years ago. But Riley has other ideas. He’s never forgotten Evie, and to protect her, he steals her away. Hidden from the world, sparks begin to fly as old memories resurface and their passion reignites.
Review
“I didn’t want to jeopardize everything I’d worked for. I didn’t want to risk everything I’d lied for. Above all else, I didn’t want to ever go back.”
Exposed is the follow up novel to Captive and features Riley, Gage’s brother, and Evie the girl he loved and lost. Evie disappeared five years ago and Riley had finally thought he had moved on with his life and then suddenly when she reappears in the news with a new name, style and fiance she is trust back into the dangerous life she had once escaped. Riley must grab her before the guys who are after her get there and keep her safe. But can he move past the hurt and feelings he has not to mention the lust that still resides and keep her safe and happy?
“I had this ring on my finger and a fiance in London, and I wasn’t allowed to stare at my ex-boyfriend like I wanted to drag him to the floor and ride him until neither of us could see straight.”
Riley and Evie’s story was supremely sexy and suspenseful filled with longing and desire and a dash of anger over the lies and deceit that fell between them. Riley, as a book boyfriend, was extremely sexy and protective, at times I felt he was too forgiving but overall his everlasting love for Evie was apparent and had my heart squeezing. Evie has tried to move forward in her life but when you spend most of your time looking over your shoulder seeing if anyone is after you it is hard to ever really be happy.
Now, Evie is engaged and I know people will be weary as to if this is a cheater book but I want to warn you that not everything is ever as it seems and please go into this with an open mind. As always if you have spoiler related questions you are more than welcome to message me on Goodreads, Facebook or shoot me an email.
“I’d stand by her, protect her till my last breath if that was what it took.”
Brighton Walsh is a great writer and it was very easy to get sucked into this story and watch these two character reconnect and fall in love all over again. I am a sucker for a second chance romance and Exposed fit the bill just right. My only note is that I would have loved more dialogue between the two characters. Their power struggles between them were both HOT and fun and having more of that would have been even better. Fans of the first book, Capture, will be happy to know you get glimpses of life with Gage and Madison and I loved visiting with them again.
Exposed is a standalone novel in the Captive series. Told in alternating POVs in first person we get insight into both Riley and Evie’s heads as well as see the plot devolve all around. Fans of panty melting sex scenes and second chance romances will not want to miss this suspenseful New Adult book!
