Synopsis:
I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Meeting Jackson Steele was a shock to my senses. Confident and commanding, he could take charge of any room . . . or any woman. And Jackson wanted me. The mere sight of him took my breath away, and his touch made me break all my rules.
Our bond was immediate, our passion untamed. I wanted to surrender completely to his kiss, but I couldn’t risk his knowing the truth about my past. Yet Jackson carried secrets too, and in our desire we found our escape, pushing our boundaries as far as they could go.
Learning to trust is never easy. In my mind, I knew I should run. But in my heart, I never felt a fire this strong—and it could either save me or scorch me forever.
My Thoughts:
"That tat - and the ones that followed – are for me alone. They are secrets and triumphs, weakness and strength. They are a map, and they are memories.”
Some of my favorite romance stories have a strong alpha male, however I have always felt the heroine were not as tenacious as she should be. Ms. Kenner has delivered another wonderful series with an alpha male with that strong female that I am always looking for – THANK YOU!!! (We need more Scarletts and less Melanies!)
I love how we are brought back to the Stark story and get re-acquainted with Nicky and Damien, yet the story is not focused on them. We get to see what is going on in their lives, but get to meet other characters in the Stark family.
The one area I did struggle with was understanding the dynamic between Jackson and Sylvia. The “he loves me, he loves me not” got old at times, but it does play into the story, so I think I need to just suck it up. I hope to see more growth of Jackson and Sylvia’s relationship in other books in the trilogy.
If you are looking for another trilogy with an alpha male and a strong female that stands up to him – then this book (and the rest of the series) is for you.
