ABOUT THE BOOK
A pawn in a man’s callous game, Amelia Lazenby is trying to heal after being betrayed by the wealthy and scorchingly sexy Jude Harrison. Now he’s saying all the right things, whispering apologies as sincere as his kisses, and refusing to let her walk away. It’s hard for Amelia to resist a force as strong as Jude. Before long, he’s making her pulse pound, her head spin, and giving her the rapture she craves.
But once she surrenders, Amelia can’t help but fear she’s risking her heart all over again. This time, maybe even more. Jude is every bit as mysterious and possessive as she remembers. His ex-lover is back to wreak havoc on their lives. And Amelia’s own ex has returned from the past, knowing more about Jude than Amelia can imagine. As the secrets and shocking revelations keep coming, Amelia must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to stay with the man she loves and, above all else, can’t resist.
MY REVIEW
I was excited to read about what happened to Amelia and Jade after the cliffhanger in Book 1, so I pulled this one from my TBR pile.
Amelia was completely shattered after Jade’s betrayal, and he preyed on her weakness toward him with little grovelling. He was obsessed and willing to move heaven and earth to win her back. But instead of a grand gesture or deep communication, we got a whole lot of sex. I was really hoping that through all the ups and downs with family and frenemies, they might actually start talking to each other. Instead, we’re left with secrets piled on top of each other.
All in all, their relationship was unhealthy. Jude finally confessed, which should have happened much sooner, and Amelia didn’t grow as much as I’d hoped. With all of the secrets, I don’t think this relationship would last, but I found myself reading it all the way through anyway.
So, if you’re looking for a questionable tale filled with drama, passion, and not nearly enough introspection, then Amelia and Jude’s story might just be for you. I also recommend you read book 1 to get the full picture, as it is significant to the story.
