So,
I finished this book, but decided to write its review after I’ve read all four
books in the series. With that being said, I can honestly say that this book
was my third favorite of the four. The book kind of started off a little weird
to me. I know that’s hard to understand what I mean. But, the writing seemed a
little immature. Sure there was graphic language and elicit situations, but the
writing just didn’t jive with the adult maturity level. I decided to stick with
the book, though, and I’m totally glad that I did because the story and writing
just got better and better; so much so that it improved tremendously by the
end. But, then when it came to that shocking climax, it just sealed the deal
for me to continue the series since it improved the story overall.
So onto the story...
This
was a sadly gripping story that had my heart in my throat as two damaged people
so desperately needed saving. They don’t actually realize it, however, until
they meet each other and begin to understand just what is missing in their
lives. This story is told mostly about Gabby and her current situation, a young
woman unmercilessly abused both sexually and physically for years by her
deranged cousin. A cousin who has her whole family thinking that Gabby is
making the whole thing up. She is a smart caring person that totally puts
herself out there to help others. What could she possibly have to gain to lie
about what her cousin has done to her over and over? When she meets wealthy
Kolson Hart all he wants to do is help her. But, how can she trust him with her
secrets? He’s a stranger. A man. And, when her psychiatrist’s intuition kicks
in, she knows he’s hiding a deeply disturbing past as well.
This
was one scorching book. Wow!! Erotically scintillating was the intimacy level
between these two. And, Kolson’s hidden piercings, which are beyond sensuous,
justs added to the sexy times that this couple engaged in. Off-the-chart smokin’ HOT!!!
With
secrets regarding Kolson’s past finally somewhat emerging, it’s with love and
understanding that Gabby touches his soul. There’s so much more to come with
this amazing couple as Kolson’s story is told in more depth just as to how
scarred this beautiful man is when his past is revealed detail by detail in
book two of this riveting series.
“Somehow
this man had managed to take her perfectly constructed fortress of protection
and tear it down, stone by stone, until she stood fully exposed and naked
before him. Not only that, he had achieved the unachievable. He had wriggled
the truth out of her. Every secret she’d ever had, every mystery had been
revealed and exposed to him. She’d dragged the last skeleton out of her closet,
dressed it up in all its finery, and willingly displayed it for him to see.
And
the greatest part? The burden that had weighed her down all these years lifted,
freeing her from its gruesome memory. The air she inhaled was cleaner, fresher,
and her lungs expanded more because of it. The vertebrae in her back separated
incrementally, allowing her spine to life higher. She reached a fuller height, all due to
Kolson. One man and his persistence and his promise to believe her.” – (Chap. 17)
