with Emily.
These two meet and their
attraction grows into a love that neither could have anticipated.
Will
they be able to overcome the turmoil that awaits them or will their love be
destroyed by forces beyond their control?
Crystal's review: This is an interesting read. First off, it fairly stands alone. You won't know all the players, but don't feel like you are missing a whole lot. (i have not read book one) The book is written from several points of view. Most fit in and make the story very complete. A few scenes/pov don't add to the story and are more of a confusing page filler (truth).
The dark romance brings together a crime family and a motorcycle gang with the common thread being the president's Sister who was saved by the crime family member. With several plot twist it does well at keeping your attention. The main H is not clear for quite awhile. The ending is a bit rushed for my taste and i would have enjoyed more of a conclusion to the "romance"I found this to be an enjoyable fantasy read touching on subjects that are 100% opposite of my own life.
Judy's review: I'm not sure 5 stars is even enough for this book! I could not put this book down. I love the way Kathleen writes and how she uses multiple POV throughout the entire story. I will say that one downfall was that a few of the POV kind of seemed pointless to me but at the same time got me thinking maybe it has to do with a book that is to come in the future to add on to this series. There are still so many unanswered questions that I want to know the answers to. It is a stand alone but its also one that its best to read the previous book to know more about what exactly they are talking about during certain times. But anyways about the characters and the overall story...
Emily just watched her father take his last breath and shes all alone. She has no one and has not seen her brother Dane in over 12 years since he left home at the age of 15. So after her father passes she jumps in her car and decides to make the 4 day trip to her brother to let him know their father died. Emily has not had an easy life, her father was an alcoholic and abusive. Her mother had passed a few years back and her father became even worse.
She meets Sal on her way to her brothers and its an immediate attraction. Sal is the Captain of a crime family on the east coast. Sal is dark, broody, loyal, alpha and wants Emily as his. There are so many turns you don't see coming in this book. I love the suspense and just kept reading because i wanted to know what was coming next and what else Kathleen was going to throw my way.

Excerpt
I am completely overwhelmed. My core is on fire and I want so much to kiss him, to touch him. I feel sparks of electricity shoot through every fiber in my body and every nerve ending is screaming for release. I want his hands on me, all over me.
“Amare?”
I put my hands on his chest and push him away. He’s too close, making it hard to form a single thought. I take two steps to the side to put some distance between us so I can speak like a human, not a lust induced zombie. “Yes, they towed my car and it’s in their lot. I haven’t really spoken to them about it yet. I kind of fell asleep on them…”
His face clouds over and he says, “You kind of fell asleep on them? What. Does. That. Mean?” He pauses between each word and growls them at me.
“Jonas took me to see Doc Jordan and he gave me something for the pain, but because I hadn’t slept in days it made me sleepy. I think he ended up carrying me to their clubhouse.” I realize how all this must sound. If someone told me that exact same story, I would be thinking the worst.
“Did they touch you, Amare?” he growls at me, his eyes blazing with anger.
“No, no, no! In fact, Jonas put a guard on my door so no one would go near me. Not that they would. I was safe, Sal.” Something crosses his face and he stares at me so intently that I look away and stare at the floor. He moves back into my space and lifts my head up. “Thank you for getting me coffee. Let’s go have breakfast and I’m buying. I think I shall keep you in my sights to make sure nothing else happens to you. I have never met a woman who allows herself to get into so many dangerous situations, in such a short space in time. You, my Amare, are a handful.” He moves away from me and does up his shirt, then grabs his jacket. He opens the door to his room and extends his arm. “Shall we?” he asks, offering me a smile that reveals his dimple. My core clenches again and I have to fight the urge to throw myself at him.
