Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes more of the suspenseful romantic thriller about secrets and deception, passion and love, choices and consequences. 

Secrets and deception 

As the pieces of their puzzle come together, Anthony and Claire Rawlings continue to defy the odds. Together they overcame an incomprehensible beginning. Apart they endured unimaginable heartache. Reunited with family and friends, their journey continues as they navigate a dangerous world where secrets threaten to destroy what they hold the most dear. 

Passion and love  

Tony and Claire turn up the heat as sparks fly, passion rages, and love prevails. With only a dark glance or devilish grin, the fire that sparked in an isolated suite, continues to burn. Though no longer willing to be less than Tony’s equal in life, behind closed doors only one man makes the rules. 

Choices and consequences 

The safety of the Rawlings family is not debatable, and only Phillip Roach can assure that they are not disappointed. Learn how he leads old friends and new associates through the dangerous world of delusion and revenge. The choices he makes for both the family and his personal life will have consequences. 

Beyond the Consequences is a novel that began as the novella, A Peek Beyond the Consequences, in a limited-release anthology, Breathless. Since its publication in 2014, Beyond the Consequences has more than tripled in length with more action, heat, and secrets to reveal. Learn once and for all the identity and fate of the sender of the Rawls-Nichols letters as you join the Rawlings for a special surprise!

Theirs was a long, complicated story with a monster and a knight. What made their story unique was that these two players were the same person. — Aleatha Romig, Convicted

Review

I really enjoyed this short and sweet addition to the Consequences Series.  Beyond The Consequences really wrapped up Tony and Claire’s story nicely and I got some much needed answers to questions from the previous books!

It was really sweet and emotional after everything that happened with Claire and Tony to see them living together with Nichol as a family.  Claire seemed strong and of sound mind and that gave me hope for their future.

Claire decided the future was the best place to devote her energy:  too much time had been lost in the past.  She wasn’t willing to grant it any more.  

The sexy time was smoking hot this time around.  God, I really do love Tony.  I so enjoy me a sexy alpha business man and Tony still has that down to a T!

“Now, Mrs. Rawlings, let me see.  Show me what’s mine and mine alone.”

We get a happily ever after for quite a few characters this time around.  One of my favorite, being Phil.  This tough man won my heart through this series and I seriously cried happy tears for him this go around.

Phil’s chest filled with sensations he’d kept buried for too long.  He wanted nothing more than to be lost in the sweetness of her kiss.

I feel like this book really completed the series as far as Claire and Tony are concerned.  It wrapped things up in a nice little bow.  I got questions answered and I got to revisit some of my favorite characters and not so favorite characters.  I got to see Tony and Claire’s future and it was bright.  This one made me smile.

“I’ve lost too much time in the past.  I want the now.”

Review

I wasn’t supposed to read this book. Originally, I had this book for a reviewer on my blog to read but when she quit with only a week till the date the review was due I did not have time to reassign it out which left me with just two options. I could pull out of the review for the tour or I could read it myself. I was weighing towards pulling out because with a new baby at home and a very long list of book I needed to read myself. But something told me to give this book a shot. Maybe it was the hot cover or the fact that I have a weakness for an alpha fighter. Whatever it was I am so glad I decided to give this book and author a shot.

 “If I make the first move, I’ll make it an even one hundred thousand. However, if you make the first move, you’ll owe me a night of unbridled passion.”

While this is a spin off series, this is my first book by Allie Juliette Mousseau and it read very clear as a standalone. Dare is the story of Sophie, a single mom with a past (a past that is determined to hunt her down) and Josh, a firefighter who was injured and in her care as a massage therapist at the hospital she works. When Sophie meets Josh he was injured after saving a child from a fire and although he can’t clearly see her at first he is still drawn to her and flirts shamelessly.

“The word infatuation doesn’t do justice or explain what I feel for Sophie, because although it is intense, it’s absolutely not short-lives. Nope, this doesn’t feel like infatuation, it feels like hysteria,”

Sophie soon finds out that Josh is not just a hero firefighter but a acclaimed fighter and he wants her on her team. He offers her everything she could want to be able to provide for the daughter she would give anything for. When she hesitates because of the sexual tension between them Josh comes up with the dare to keep them on the straight and narrow. Soon Sophie and Josh are spending a lot of time together at work and while traveling and their feelings for each other only seem to grow stronger.

“I’m going to savor you, You know every ridge and contour of my body . . .it’s my turn to learn yours. And as I do, Sophie, I’m going to claim you, every part of you, as mine.”

When these two give in to what it is clear from the beginning that their bodies want it is explosive! I love them as a couple so much. While Josh is a fighter with a playboy reputation he is so sweet and kind with Sophie and her daughter. He is protective and loving and goes out of his way to keep her happy and safe. Unfortunately, her past has other ideas.

 “There’s nothing you can do,” “Wrong, there’s nothing I won’t do!”

I am so glad that I decided to take on this hot and fun book. Allie wrote a alpha fighter that I just could not put down and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next!

It doesn’t help matters that his bride to be is starstruck as

singer Ashton Hyde makes a drop in appearance to start recording his new album.

“What?” I tilted my head. “Chicken out? No striptease? Man, not even any boob. It’s like you’re too afraid to show me—“

She shoved something into my right hand.

Something lacey.

I looked down and almost passed out into the seal tank.

A black lace thong.

Her black lace thong.

Holy shit, it was still warm from her body.

“Ah—“ My voice cracked like I was twelve.

“So…” Alyssa wrapped her dainty arms around my neck. “…I gave a little. Eat the damn fish, Demetri. That’s how these things work, don’t they?”

I nipped her lower lip then pressed her against the closest wall, ready to strip off her jeans and lay claim to what had been just out of my reach. “If I eat two fish, what do I get?”

With a sultry grin, she leaned up and whispered in my ear. “Use your imagination.”

“My imagination tends to be graphic.”

“Good.” She winked. “Mine too.”

“So maybe I’ll eat three just to be safe.”

“Depends on how many surprises you want in the next few hours.” She lifted her shoulder and examined her nails like she didn’t care what I did.

I freaking downed the rest of the cup of fish — swallowed them whole — then almost died a slow death as the taste of fish permeated my mouth.

When I looked up through teary eyes, Alyssa had her phone pointed in my direction, laughing.

“Tell me—” My voice was hoarse. I had to hit my chest to keep from gagging. “Tell me it’s just a picture and not recording.”

“Say hi to your Instagram followers,” she said cheerfully.

I flipped the camera off.

She frowned.

I forced a smile then gagged again. “The things I do for sex.”

“That’s the best part, Dem.” Alyssa laughed. “You were getting it within a few hours regardless. Duh, we’re getting married.”

“But…” I shook my head. “…I thought this meant I skipped ahead a few steps, like when you get the free-pass card in board games.”

“Name the board game, and I’ll say yes.”

“Er, shit.” I was a total blank. “Monopoly.”

She gave me a thumbs-down. “But look on the bright side! You made me laugh and, honestly… taking me back here, one of the most romantic things you’ve done in the last few days. It’s where we argued, made out, talked—“

I nodded my head. “It’s where I fell for you.”

She giggled.

“It’s where my obsession with those eyes started,” I whispered. “It’s where I decided I wasn’t going to go another day, live another second, without learning everything I could about my taffy girl.”

“And so the whore married the pimp,” she teased.

“I’m the whore in this scenario, aren’t I?”

“Well, I’m the supplier, so technically, I’m the pimp, right?”

We both burst out laughing as an elderly lady walked by us and glared like we were sitting in church talking about prostitution.

“Clambake.” I held out my hand. “Then tomorrow…”

“Married.” She clenched my fingers and let out a happy sigh.

Why Me by T. Renee Fike Release Blitz

Jordyn Stevens, an independent woman, has managed to keep her head down and get through high school. She’s seen the good and ugly in people and prefers to rely only on herself. Hoping that college will be different, she opens up to her roommate Candace and her best friend, Chase. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Jordyn finds herself in the crosshairs of someone who would rather make her life a living hell.

Wanting to help and protect Jordyn, Candace enlists the help of her sexy football star brother Avery, who is also one to keep people at bay. Brought together by a common bond, neither expects to develop feelings for one another. However, a simple friendship doesn’t work out as planned. When tragedy strickes and miscommunication occurs, Jordyn and Avery are lead down a dark and dreary path that she is all too familiar with.

Will Avery be able to make her see that things aren’t always what they seem?

Will Jordyn be able to survive or will her WHY ME mentality destroy her?

 

 

“Jordyn, do you want to be with someone?” he asks changing his tone.

 

“Maybe.”

 

“Maybe?  What do you mean maybe?”

 

“I’m good with just me.”

 

“But you can’t tell me you don’t get lonely.”

 

“Sure, everyone does.  But I don’t think I can really put myself out there.”

 

“You should try.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because then maybe Ryder would let you alone.  Oh, oh better yet, date Avery,” he says like it’s the most amazing thing ever.

 

“What?  No, I’m not dating Avery.”

 

“That sounds like a great idea Chase,” Avery says, as he enters our room.

 

“What?” I shriek.

 

“Just think about it, Ryder would let you alone because he and I are friends, so it would make you off limits,” Avery says like it’s nothing.

 

“See, told you,” Chase laughs.

 

“No, that’s ridiculous and don’t you have a girlfriend?”

 

“When have you known me to have a girlfriend?” he asks with a look.

 

“I don’t know.  Well, why don’t you have a girlfriend then?” I ask confused.

 

“I’m about to.”

About ALL PLAYED OUT:

First person in her family to go to college? CHECK.

Straight A’s? CHECK.

On track to graduate early? CHECK.

Social life? …..yeah, about that….

With just a few weeks until she graduates, Antonella DeLuca’s beginning to worry that maybe she hasn’t had the full college experience. (Okay… Scratch that. She knows she hasn’t had the full college experience).

So Nell does what a smart, dedicated girl like herself does best. She makes a “to do” list of normal college activities.

Item #1? Hook up with a jock.

Rusk University wide receiver Mateo Torres practically wrote the playbook for normal college living. When he’s not on the field, he excels at partying, girls, and more partying. As long as he keeps things light and easy, it’s impossible to get hurt… again. But something about the quiet, shy, sexy-as-hell Nell gets under his skin, and when he learns about her list, he makes it his mission to help her complete it.

Torres is the definition of confident (And sexy. And wild), and he opens up a side of Nell that she’s never known. But as they begin to check off each crazy, exciting, normal item, Nell finds that her frivolous list leads to something more serious than she bargained for. And while Torres is used to taking risks on the field, he has to decide if he’s willing to take the chance when it’s more than just a game.

Together they will have to decide if what they have is just part of the experiment or a chance at something real.

Falling Away by Penelope Douglas Blog Tour and Giveaway

Title: Falling Away (Fall Away, #3)
Author: Penelope Douglas
Genre: NA |  Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 6, 2015
Synopsis
 
Jaxon is the guy she’s supposed to avoid.  K.C. is the girl he won’t let get away….
 
K. C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.
 
Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As the bond between them grows, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible.…

Check out our 5 Smooches Review HERE!

“You’ve got some ego,” I bit out. “I mean, yeah, all of a sudden you have money. Where you get it from is too scary to even think about,” I spouted off when I really should just shut up. “And you seem to have the town’s police in the palm of your hand. You’re clearly running the Loop now. Congratulations, Jax.” I smiled a big-ass, fake grin. “You’re the most powerful man in Shelburne Falls, Illinois!”
 
I planted my hands on my hips, pretty damn pleased at how good I’d gotten at putting men in their place. 
 
But then my smile dropped and my eyes rounded. Jax’s eyes—full of challenge and amusement—narrowed on me, and he tossed his towel down, heading right for me. 
 
Shit. I knew I should’ve listened to my mother. I talked too much. 
 
He nodded, a grin playing at the corner of his mouth. “There she is.”
 
I inched back to the wall as he advanced into my space. “What are you talking about?”
 
“The snarky girl I met at Madoc’s house years ago.”
 
Yeah, the one that was slightly drunk and hella confident? My head bobbed off the wall, signaling I was at a damn dead end, and a trickle of sweat skidded down my neck. I saw Jax’s eyes flash to it, and all of a sudden I was too dumb to even remember my own name. 
 
God, he was big. My chest vibrated with the heat of him only an inch away. He hovered over me, engulfing and consuming the space around me, making me feel as if I stood in the shadow of a tree. 
 
Staring straight ahead, I made a conscious effort to keep my face straight. But it was almost impossible, and it was pointless. Out of all the reasons I could come up with for hating Jax—he always challenged and pushed me, and he always did whatever the hell he wanted—I could never claim that he wasn’t smart. He knew I was affected. He knew my body liked him close. 
 
“I love it when you get mouthy,” he whispered down on me. “It makes me want to shut you up.”
 
Son of a bitch. I clenched my thighs together, feeling the moisture there. 
 
I needed to get out of here. “I have to go.” I pushed off the wall but hit his chest, closing me in again. 
 
“How do you like your community service?” he said low, trapping me by planting his hands on the wall on each side of my head. 
 
Huh? 
 
His smell was raw heat. Summer. Sticky cotton candy on a Ferris wheel and cool water on hot skin. 
 
“What?” He’d asked me a question. What the fuck did he just ask? 
 
He leaned on his hands, dipping his head close to mine. “Community service, K.C. How do you like it?”
 
I could hear the laughter in his voice. 
 
“I don’t,” I mumbled. “Teaching a bunch of kids who slacked off during the school year, because they didn’t get the attitude adjustment they needed, isn’t my idea of a good time.”
His arms lowered a bit, and I could hear him inhaling through his nose, as if he was smelling me. 
 
“Your idea of a good time got you here in the first place.” His voice was calm but firm. “And those kids don’t need an attitude adjustment. You do.”
 
I smirked. “Well, I’m getting one. Thanks to the great state of Arizona.” Then I pinned him with hard eyes. “You don’t know me, Jax.” And I pushed him away and turned for the door. 
 
But he hooked my arm, pulling me back. 
 
“You’re right,” he said quickly. “I don’t know you. So why don’t you enlighten me? What does 
K.C. stand for? What did you do at college that got you arrested?”
 
When I just stood there, not answering his stupid questions, he backed me into the wall again. “Let’s try something easier, shall we? Your favorite color. What is it?”
 
“Are you serious?”
 
“Are you stalling?”
 
I scowled. “Pink. It’s pink.”
 
“Is it?” he pressed. “How about music? Who’s your favorite band? What about books? Your favorite genre? When was the last time you ate chocolate or stayed in your pajamas past eleven in the morning?”
 
I didn’t know if the walls were closing in or if it was just Jax crowding me. “What are you getting at, you little shit?” I accused. 
 
And he got in my face, smiling at the challenge of my condescending name-calling. “How about a shower, K.C.?” The sound of his deep, husky voice swirled in my stomach and shot downward. 
 
I gulped, licking my sandpaper lips. “Huh?”
 
He stared at my mouth, looking hungry. “The little shit—who’s not so little anymore—needs a shower,” he whispered, still staring at my mouth. “Take a shower
with me. Right now.”

Hot Dare – Avery Flynn

He shows some of his best moves off the field.

Hell is a Miami Thunder fan cruise to the Bahamas—at least, that’s how Colt “45” Butler sees it. But with his job as the team’s starting linebacker in question, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to prove he’s a team player. Plus, the prospect of having his one-night Vegas fling, Angie Diaz, as his VIP liaison for the cruise just might make the whole ordeal tolerable. All he needs it to get her back in his bed for some Vegas-rules fun on the high seas.

Cheap wine and expensive ice cream, that’s how anyone fool enough to get involved with a Thunder football player always drowns their sorrows after getting dumped. Angie Diaz isn’t about to become one of the many—no matter how close she got to the look-but-don’t-touch line with the hot linebacker. Mixing business and pleasure with Colt is one dare her heart can’t afford to take…but being with him day and night is making is a dare she can’t resist.

Dare Me – Kelly Jamieson

Love hurts…even when you don’t believe in it…

Interior designer Micki Arnott is anticipating her boyfriend’s marriage proposal with excitement. She and prominent businessman Garrett Caulfield have been seeing each other for over a year and they’re in love. Okay, maybe Garrett hasn’t actually said those three little words, but Micki knows he feels them. But instead of a diamond ring, Garrett hands her a contract…

Garrett wants Micki to move in with him, to commit to him and only him, but he doesn’t believe in love and marriage. After watching his parents cheat and hurt each other all while proclaiming their love, that’s not what he wants his life to be. A contract seems like the perfect way to make sure he and Micki both understand the parameters of their relationship.

When Micki throws Garrett’s contract in his face and tells him to never call her again, he’s shocked and confused. He’s not a quitter, but he’s not going to fight with Micki like his parents did. Micki knows she’s doing the right thing—she deserves to be loved and isn’t going to waste her life on a man who doesn’t even believe in love. Garrett blames his misery on too much scotch…but what if that pain isn’t really the mother of all hangovers…what if it’s…love?

Truth or Dare – Allie K Adams

From the USA Today bestselling author of the Roadhouse series…

He truthfully believes he’s better off alone. She challenges him to live up to the Dare family name.

Adam Dare has never asked for anything from his biological father. Robert Dare lives in Florida with not one but two families. While the rest of his half brothers and sisters grew up surrounded by family and eating from a silver spoon, Adam was an only child in Montana, living off the land and struggling to survive. Now a respected vet with his own practice, he’s facing an insurmountable task, one where he needs all the help he can get. Discovering a pretty, yet troublesome stowaway in the bed of his truck only adds to the mounting chaos. Adam doesn’t have time to deal with her during branding season, yet can’t deny the overwhelming draw to her. A litter of Dares are on their way to the luxury ranch he’s working at, and he can’t afford any distractions—especially one with golden blonde hair and pretty cornflower blue eyes.

Amber Bigsby has lived on her own since the day after graduating from high school. After a disastrous date takes a dangerous turn, she hides in a pile of hay in the back of a truck, only to awaken to find herself at a ranch in Montana, searching for the cowboy who saved her.

I Dare You – Leslie Kelly

A Leslie Kelly story set in New York Times Bestselling Author Carly Phillips’ “Dare To Love” Kindle World!

Marcus “Big” Bigsby is retiring after a successful NFL career, ready for a quiet, simple life on a ranch in Oklahoma. But his plan to forget the past is rocked when he comes face-to-face with his high school dreamgirl, the one who got away…the one he never forgot.

Blair Tremaine has heard Marcus is living in tiny little Caribou, but she’s done her best to avoid him. She’d been crazy about him in high school, but they’d always seemed miles apart–her the bookish rich girl, him the football-playing farmboy.

Now they’re thrown together again, and this time nothing will stop them from finally getting what they’ve always wanted: each other!

Daring Masquerade – Alannah Lynne

When a hired heartbreaker falls for her target, both their hearts are at risk…

For the past five years, Becca Irving (aka Carmella Jones, aka Karma) has worked as a

hired heartbreaker, seeking revenge and justice against men who thoughtlessly hurt the

women who love them. She expects her next mark to be just as callous, but Jon isn’t

her typical target. He’s a good man with a loving nature and dominant streak that

crushes her walls and tempts her into believing love can be real and lasting.

From the moment he lays eyes on the beguiling redhead, Jonathon Ridgeway is

hooked. When a sensuous dance leads to an erotic weekend aboard his boat, he

realizes he needs more than a brief affair with the complex and tantalizing woman.

But neither Jon nor Becca are who—or what—they seem. Will he be able to forgive her

past actions? Can she overlook his? Or will they both be left brokenhearted by the

secrets of their past?

Daring Attraction – Melanie Shawn

When it came to star athletes, it didn’t get any hotter than Cole Carson. The starting quarterback for the Miami Thunder had game both on and off the field. But when he met Julianna, he knew that he’d have to bring more than just the status quo to the stunning, single mom’s already-hectic life if he had a chance of winning her heart.

Life had tackled Julianna Perez with some pretty harsh hits, but she’d take them and more if it meant providing her ten-year-old with a safe and stable environment. Living by her to-do lists and focusing on Anthony’s needs, the breathtakingly beautiful single mother never acknowledged her own until they were brought to the surface by a sexy football player.

A commanding captain on the football field, Cole knew how to take the lead in every situation and he wanted to be the solution and more for his newfound love. But will he be able to navigate through the complexities and realities of being with a single mom, no matter how badly he wants to right her world? Will Julianna trust Cole enough to let him into the stable life she created and protected for Anthony and for herself?

With love on the line, Cole and Julianna will both be forced out of their comfort zones in…Daring Attraction

Dare Me Once – Marquita Valentine

All police detective, Bryce Sinclair, wants is two weeks away from it all, and his grandparents’ cottage on the Chesapeake Bay shore fits the bill. A fridge full of beer and blue crabs is all he needs. Though, the hot, little waitress at the pier would be a welcome addition. He’s not looking for forever, just a good time.

Kayla White doesn’t have time for tourists who try to buy her personal time instead of her award winning crab cakes. She’s too busy trying to start over after the last man stole her heart…and cleaned out her bank account. But, when a sexy, smooth talking stranger catches her attention, will she dare take a chance on him?

The Billionaire’s Dare – Lauren Hawkeye

THIS IS A NEW STORY FROM CARLY PHILLIPS’ DARE TO LOVE SERIES VIA KINDLE WORLDS.

From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson…

What happens in New York…

Evangeline Wyatt, the brand new “team behaviour manager” for Miami Thunder, doesn’t have time for a relationship. At least, that’s what she’s told herself since being burned by one of the Thunder’s biggest playboys. It’s the height of humiliation when she finds herself stuck accompanying said ex to a New York kink club to keep him out of the tabloids. But when she meets a sexy, slightly familiar looking stranger with whom chemistry instantly sparks, she finds herself letting go… only to be reminded why her rules were there in the first place.

Nick Aitken is the star rookie of the New York Vikings, a team with a longstanding rivalry against Miami Thunder. At first he approaches the admittedly delectable woman only because she’s with one of his biggest opponents. But what ignites between them is more than he can resist…

Evangeline is certain that they’re all wrong for one another. Nick’s not so sure. But he’ll do anything for a second taste…

Anything. “Evangeline, I dare you…”

Daring the Player – Robin Covington

Raised by a pro football legend, Miami Thunder wide receiver Rep Grissom has a career most would envy.  A toxic marriage with a party girl almost put him on the sidelines, but now he keeps his head down and makes the moves on the field that leave younger players in his dust. Now all he has to do is maintain the status quo and he’s guaranteed a lucrative new contract at an age when most guys are retiring.

Lola Corbin is used to leaving all the big boys in her rearview mirror. The lead singer in the worlds biggest rock band she fills up arenas and closes down the clubs but with the group on the brink of breaking apart her future is uncertain. Years spent on the road has left her with nothing at home except platinum records on the walls, an empty fridge and a cold bed. For the first time, she’s looking for something and someone beyond the spotlight.

When Lola’s first night in her condo ends with Rep breaking up a fight he realizes that temptation has moved in next door. Lola doesn’t usually go for the strong and serious type, but the more she sees of her neighbor, the more she wants. When a thank you dinner turns into dancing and a hot tryst in the back of the club their attraction cannot be denied. But when Lola-induced trouble results in a front-page-career-ending spectacle the player must decide if he’s going to be as daring with his heart as he is on the field.

Synopsis

From USA Today Bestselling Author.

*This is a two part series, both parts are now available. This is the second part**

You know how it went for me. You know what he did. You know the fire he left inside my soul when he crushed me into a thousand tiny pieces. Since Marcus, my life has been a blur of emptiness. Since Marcus there has been nothing. I’m alone, my Mom is dwindling and I feel nothing but emptiness. I work long, I work hard, but why? There’s no longer anything to fight for. I know I have to face him. I know I have to go back. To fix my life, I have to break my ties to him. Seeing Marcus again will destroy me, but it’s time to finish this. I don’t expect the bitter, twisted emotions I’ll feel when I see him again, and when I lose everything once more, because of him, the only thing on my mind is revenge. But how do you hurt someone you still love so deeply? How can I still care for a monster? How can he still make me feel? Our story is the most complicated of them all, it’s far from beautiful, it’s far from perfect, it’s just a twisted mess of emotion that neither of us knows how to fix. But we will fix it. You’ll see.

Contains Adult Content. No Cliffhanger. HEA. 

Review

This story picks up from straight after the first book finished. We are with Marcus and Katia after she has discovered she was just there for a contract and Marcus destroys her even though he knows he has started falling for her. This is a whirlwind, past paced book that takes us through to the conclusion of this couples story.
“I’m a man who ruined his own life, and there’s only one voice I want to hear. It’s also a voice I know I’ll never hear again. I destroyed a soul. I created my own nightmare. There is no forgiveness for that.”
I loved the first book and I loved the second just as much. There is so much angst, heartache, sex, suspense and drama, it’s a winning combination. I really love Marcus, some may find him a bit too rough or rude but his intensity is one of the reasons I love him so much. I will be honest and say I don’t love Katia as much as Marcus and I’m not sure why but I still love her in her own way, I just think with this story at times I just wanted to shake her and say “be stronger” because I knew she could be.
“I don’t see anything, feel anything, hear anything. My soul is a bottomless pit. My body moves only because it has to.”
The plot was so fast paced, there’s definitely not a moment to breathe with this story but again I loved this aspect of the book. Sometimes I find that some books fill pages that don’t necessarily need to be there but that’s 100% not the case here.
“He fucks me like this is our last day on earth and I’m the only reason he’s fought. He fucks me like I matter. He fucks me like I’m his lifeline and he can’t survive without me.”
By only slight criticism of this story is that it all wrapped up a bit too quickly for me, especially considering some of the subjects that had been looked into. But saying that I was satisfied with the overall ending and I would love to see a quick short novella of what Marcus and Katia’s life is like in the future.
“Once again I left her devastated and broken. Only this time she returned the favor. She took my soul, the same way I’d taken hers, and she crushed it.”
