4.5 Suspenseful Stars!! Edge of your
seat thrilling!! Erotically intimate!! Intensely evil!! Well done!!
I knew this
was going to be a hard one to put down from the very beginning. From the start
it’s evil and edgy. Kat Quincy is a hard-working confident woman. But, it’s her
relationship with an abusive boyfriend that pulls her down. She just has to get
out of this relationship so she can save herself and not become a statistic.
She works with this type of behavior every day. She should know better. So,
when she finally breaks down and tells her friends, it’s not without
embarrassment and guilt that she does so. What she doesn’t realize is that one
of her friends, John, has actually loved her for three years, and he now
decides to make it his mission to protect her from harm.
John
Greyson is ex-military and now owns his own security company with long-time
friend, Rylan Slade. John has had romantic feelings for Kat since he first laid
eyes on her three years ago. Unfortunately she was, at one time or another, in
a relationship with someone else. John is such a sweetheart of a guy. He’s got
wavy black hair and striking gray eyes. And, his body, all 6 ft. 3 inches of
him, is stunningly impressive with muscles and tattoos. With those
heartstopping dimples, he makes women swoon. According to Kat, though, he’s way
too busy with various women, so much so, that her and her friend Maddie
nickname all his conquests different flavors of the month in a comical manner.
As Kat’s
horrific abuse comes to light, their relationship shifts into a more intimate
one. Kat had no idea how John felt about her, and was pleasantly surprised. As
much as John promises to protect Kat when her abuser is still running loose,
she also vows to protect the ones that she loves when her abuser puts others
lives in jeopardy. Her abuser, though, is not working alone and as the story
moves along, an unsuspected respected colleague is getting angrier and angrier
when things don’t go as planned.
The author
did a great job sucking the reader into this suspenseful and enthralling book.
I just couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was going to happen
in the end. Kat sure did have some horrible shit happen to her. But, she was
strong and always the fighter. She also had a fantastic group of friends that
had her back every step of the way. And, with a guy like John by her side, she
knew she was protected and loved unconditionally. And, who could forget John’s
dog, Romeo? He’s such a remarkably safeguarding dog that brought some warm and
touching moments to the story. The book was a little long, but the author kept
me engaged in Kat and John’s love story totally. I felt that I really could
somewhat compare this book to Kristen Ashley’s “Rock Chick” series. Maybe not
quite as comical, but the camaraderie amongst friends was obviously apparent.
The intimacy between Kat and John was fiery and sensual. And, the climax
boasted evil and shock as the intense stand-off was drama at its very best.
Impressive debut novel! I won’t hesitate to pick up the next installment in
this series, Emerge:)

Be brave when you are scared
