Wow!
What a way to end a fantastic series! I sure will miss those Corps Security
guys and their lovely ladies! Now I could say that Ms. Sloan left the best of
the lot for last, but that would be lying because each and everyone of those
guys stole my heart! Axel, Greg, Beck, Coop, Asher and now Maddox had a story
to tell that was both gripping and passionate. Whether it was sad, happy or
full of drama, Ms. Sloan just deeply embedded their lives and the women that
they loved into my heart. And, Maddox and Emmy’s story was no different.
Maddox,
the silent and observant one always standing off to the side with no
over-powering presence, has no idea how to get his s**t together until Emmy
sees him for what he is – a broken suffering shell-of-a-man. For four long years
she tries to get through to him just how much she wants to help, but he’s just
so stubborn and blind as to what kind of man he truly is. So, she’s done! Gone!
Adios! See ya!!! He can rot in hell as far as she’s concerned!! And, this comes
after a devastating loss takes the life of a true friend. As time goes by,
Maddox knows it’s time to go after her, and what he finds, he no way in hell
likes. Will they ever get together? Can Maddox let her in to unlock his “black
soul” so that he can finally find peace and love?
Talk
about high intensity! Knowing that you’re tainted and can ruin everything you touch
can be a hard burden to bear. But, that was what was told to him constantly his
whole young life. So after a while, you tend to believe it. He just needed
someone who was willing to take a chance on him no matter what to cut through
the tough-guy exterior and show him what he really had to offer.
Emmy
was one tough chick! She appeared timid and soft, but inside she was tough and
sassy. She was a strong woman that was consumed with her man, and if he would
let her, she would show him just how much he meant to her.
“I
know exactly what I’m talking about. I know because my soul recognizes its
mate. Its kindred spirit. We both have our pain, Maddox. We both have the shame
of our past and the fear it holds on the future. The only difference is you let
that pain and fear rule your heart. And the difference in me is that I am
willing to risk it all day in and day out for just a second of your love.” ~ Emmy
(Chap. 12)
Their
story had their ups and downs but in the end it was triumphant. The couple was
a powerhouse! They just fed off of each other’s wants and needs – trying wholely
to support and protect each other. And, the heat that they had for each other
was fierce and scorching. Mad passionate intimacy is what they shared – while piercings
and tattoos just added to the potency among the two.
All
I can say is this was supreme romance at its best! Ms. Sloan really sends her
boys out with a bang! Loved the epilogue too!! It shows somewhat of an idea of
where her next book might be going, which totally arouses my curiosity. And, of
course it goes without saying, the bookcover was so incredible! Can’t get
enough of the Corps Security crew!!!
