Beautiful Betrayal

An Enemies to Lovers, Dark Romance (Tempting Love, Book 3)

De: Nikki Ash

Narrado por: Duncan Prescott, Marie Hawkins

Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.

Brielle

Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.

Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.

Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.

After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.

But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.

He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.

Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.

I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.

I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

Maybe Nikki's best yet?

Forget ‘touch her and d*e’, this is more like, ‘even think about touching her, or so much as look at her and d*e’!

Oh, the way the other 2 books in this series made me NEEEEED this book. Listen, I don’t even accept e-ARCs, typically but as I said this one was a need.

Written in first-person POV, alternating.
Past tense.

While it does give a bit of background, I strongly recommend reading this series in order—you’ll appreciate it so much more and probably follow it better.

It’s fast-burn on the sm3x, but slow-burn on the romance, which is a hot combination, and makes for lots of sizzling chemistry along the way. Pack in the action, drama and danger and—what is not to love here?!


SA / non-con.
Forced ab0rtion.
Enemies-to-lovers.

Overall:
Couldn’t put it down—missed it when I did have to get back to real life. LOVE Nikki Ash, PLEASE tell me we’re getting Nicole’s book because I cannot wait to hate her father! So fun. Can’t wait for the next!

4.5 stars.

Loved!

I absolutely loved Brielle and Kane’s story. I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop listening. Brielle deserved so much and I loved how even when Kane was being deceitful, he really wanted the best for her. The narration was excellent and I highly recommend this book and series.
