Chad doesn't trust anyone, and given his past, you really can't blame him. Now he is in a race to get to his sister before the evil he is responsible for gets to her first. Enter Gia. She helps him escape but why? What are her true motives? Chad doesn't want to trust her; he can't afford to. But he is given little choice if he wants to save his sister and get the revenge his soul craves.I have to say that Ms. Jones did a fabulous job of keeping me guessing at who was on Chad's side and who could be betraying him. Had he been trusting the wrong people all these years or was the newcomer to blame? I had my suspicions but they kind of wavered back and forth for most of the book. It was clear Gia wasn't telling him the whole truth and I was dying to find out what all of her story was.
I loved the chemistry between Chad and Gia. He might not trust her, but that didn't stop him from wanting her with every fiber of his being. Chad definitely had a dirty alpha side to him that was crazy hot. Oh how I do love a filthy talker. Overall this was another great read in the series that kept me on my toes and intrigued from start to finish. I can't wait for the conclusion, Unbroken, releasing on September 7!

| “I don’t care who’s going to hate who later. I just want to fuck you.” |
| “I’m still me, sweetheart—so maybe I should just practice apologizing. By doing what I’m going to do, and what I should have already done. Make love to you for all the right reasons, instead of fucking you for the wrong ones.” |

Excerpt
| I stare at her. She stares back at me, and a battle of wills ensues, crackling with challenge that slowly shifts to something darker, hotter, and I reply with a low, rough tone. “Maybe I’ve changed my mind,” I murmur, and suddenly I’m staring at her lips, her full, kissable, tempting lips. A mix of adrenaline and lust rushes through me, barely contained. My mouth lowers, my need to lose myself in this moment, in this woman a fierce beast that does not want to be ignored. “Don’t,” she whispers urgently. “Don’t what?” I ask, lingering a breath away from touching her face, so close I can almost taste her. “Kiss me again. Because I’ll kiss you back, and we’ll both hate me for it.” She’s right. But I still want to kiss her. “Please,” she whispers. “Please kiss you? Please tie you up and fuck you like you’ve never been fucked? Please make you come so many times you’ll never forget who you fucked if you fuck me over?” “Please don’t do any of those things.” “Because you don’t want me to?” “I already told you why. You’ll hate me later. And I’ll hate me for giving you the chance.” “And what about me? Will you hate me?” “I don’t have a reason to hate you, Chad. I don’t know you.” “But you want me.” “I don’t know the right answer to that.” “The truth will set you free.” “The truth can’t set you free if no one believes you.” |
