How had I not read this?!?

Aaaahhhh! This has quickly become an all time favorite of mine. If you’re looking for romance, thrilling suspense and mystery, THIS IS THE BOOK! Absolutely amazing. I’m so in love with Blake and Cole. Every character is so realistic and I can’t get enough. On to book 2!

Cliffhanger but worth it

When Blake is thrown into a foster home after the death of her aunt, she becomes intertwined into the best oddball family one could have where she has all the love and support she's ever needed. As an adult, her past is still a dangerous mystery and but she wants to know the answer to her never ending questions. When the past threatens all she's ever known and the people she loves the most, tough choices will need to be made.
I wish I could give more away but there's SO many questions and the answers just lead to more questions. In the end you will be left wide eyed and open mouthed, and so goad this is a complete duet so you can quickly pick up the next book.
Going back and forth between the ebook and the audiobook, the narrator Felicity Munroe puts a believable voice to Blake, and adds an emotional connection to the remaining characters.

Mystery, Suspense and Romance! So good!

I have been wanting to read this romantic suspense duet for years and finally made time for it on audio! I have heard soooo many good things about Cole and let me tell you he lives up to the hype, he is INCREDIBLE. As for the narration, I really enjoyed Felicity, she is new to me and I loved her voice!

“This,” he said motioning between us, “is not casual. It’s not stupid, and it sure as fuck is not meaningless.”

The reason I love romantic suspense books so much is the fact that along with sizzling romance, you get mystery and drama that leaves you on the edge of your seat not knowing what the next twist will reveal. From the prologue of this story I was hooked, Blake is haunted by nightmares of her families murders and still 20 years later she doesn’t feel safe. The only time she truly has a feeling of safety is in the arms of Cole, a man she has known for years but has kept at a distance as of late. Their past is twisted and tragic, yet together they help heal their scars and calm the panic within.

“I’ve been in love with you from the moment I saw you. I’ve been in love with you from the day I was born and possibly even before then. I belong to you. My body belongs to you. My heart belongs to you.”

The story is intricately woven revealing little hints of the mystery as the anticipation builds of uncovering the truth of who murdered Blake’s family. It alternates with views of the past along with the present to build the backstory of the murders and the reasons for the sexual tension between Cole and Blake. I loved that along with the mystery there is the renewed passionate romance between Cole and Blake, two people who are true soulmates and definitely meant to be together for life. Book one ends with one heck of a cliffhanger and I’m currently on the edge of my seat listening to book two, dying to see how this all wraps up!

AhMazing!!!!

I absolutely love this story. It was really good when I read it back in 2015. And it was more amazing listening to it this time. It’s so good from start to finish. That ending OhMgee. It left me like that back in 2015 and it left me like that again. I need book 2 now!!
