Lawd, this story will have
you alternating between turning the fan on to get rid of the overwhelming heat
generated by the story and then reaching for tissues due to the heartbreak that
the MC experienced/went thru. This is a short yet so emotionally packed read
filled with sexual tension and eroticism throughout this novella/story. Rion Ward is an ex mob guy who now owns
his own legal business(es) when a blast from his past comes back into his life
and into his sex club Lick--Harper Shaw .
She was the one who has always haunted him.
Harper lost her baby several
years back and now she is a widow. She is coming out of deep freeze and the
only man she ever wanted, truly wanted back then and now for sex-really for
anything was Rion but he turned her away. Harper isn’t going to give up and
tries again now , thinking he wouldn’t possibly turn her away again. What we
see is this intricate shifting between this couple- how he wants but is afraid
; how she pushes but is afraid. It’s a push and pull until suddenly everything
is broken. Will Rion wake up to the fact his love is there willing to fight for
him, and will Harper be willing to fight for their love?
This is a great start to a
new storyline that Entangled Publishing is starting called Scorched and
this is one book is from the 1st of the new start of that line. I
truly enjoyed this series and this books feels like it ends on a HFN ending
which maybe there will be a wrap up or more about Rion and Harper sometime down
the road. I know there is more to their story. For this being the first, it is
a really awesome start and I cannot wait to read more from the author and
publisher with books like this.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****
**I was
given an ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review***
