In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life. Regardless of the shit going on in your life, this fact still remains.
It. Goes. On
Lexie Todd knew these 3 simple words. They were her mantra. So, after dealing with years of abuse at the hands of her boyfriend and the father of her son, she knows what needs to be done. With help from her best friend Mollie, they go on the run.
After months of being on the run they finally find the perfect town to settle in. Unable to trust and always having her guard up, the last thing Lexie wants is to get involved with Lukas Gunn.
Persistent, annoying, bossy, over protective and extremely hot, Detective Lukas Gunn.
After an incident leaves her vulnerable, Lukas knows there’s something haunting her. He’s determined to find out, wanting to protect her and make her his. But Lexie is determined also. Not wanting to give up her past, she pushes him away. Repeatedly.
But when history repeats itself, will Lexie finally be able to trust those around her to keep her safe? Will Lukas be able to save her? Or will Lexie succumb to only knowing what it’s like to be Unbeautifully Loved?
“This dress and those shoes are for me, no one else Peaches. This is what you do to me.” He pushed into me again, “So, only for me.” His voice was rough, like he was having a difficult time holding himself back.
Lukas is a one panty dropping hunky alpha male. He's demanding, bossy, gorgeous, caveman, sexy and super alpha. The way he growled... sigh. this man.. I would do anything... and I mean anything just to have him! I'm into possessive heroes and I gotta say, Lukas is in my list!
“Never in my life have I had someone to look out for me the way you do. Not even my own parents, hell they kicked me to the curb when I got pregnant with Finn and I haven’t seen or spoke to them since he was born. But you, you were there every step of the way, you Mollie Evans are more than my best friend, ”
Mollie (Lexie's best friend) is a type of friend that you would want in your life. This girl moved from city to city to help and support Lexie. She has this sassy thing in her that I so adore. She's just awesome! :)
Honestly, all the characters are well written and very likeable, well except maybe Lexie. (but I'll get to that later!)
Even the villains was so convincing that at some point I started getting the creepy feeling too. lol
“But baby,” he said pulling away, his sexy half smirk playing on his lips, “Tonight, I’m gonna fuck you. Right here, back against the wall with your legs wrapped around my waist and my cock buried inside you. Then I’m going to carry you to the bed where I’m going to kiss, taste and memorize every inch of your body before I make love to you ‘til you come undone around me,”
he said, his voice low and husky; his eyes burning with desire. “More than once.”
Okay, our heroine Lexie is broken and insecure. She had a very difficult past but despite of everything Lexie is a strong woman, stubborn and dumb. I think one of the dumbest heroine I've read in awhile. Her character was hard to like..
ONE- the way she kept denying her feelings for him kinda irked me.. she say "no it's not like that.. we just met.. we aren't.. there's nothing going on.." Woman! the guy already kissed you and practically eye fucking you! gosh!
TWO- For a person who's running and hiding from an abusive ex, it boggles my mind that she makes a lot of dumbest decisions. Lexie get this creepy feeling that she's being watch or getting strange gifts in front of her porch.. but she ignores all of it and kept everything from Lukas... I'm like.. wtf?!
THREE- When Lukas tell her something, she does the opposite. Lukas tells her not to go out (to protect her)... ohhh! she'll go out. When almost everyone tells her they get a bad vibes about this man... oh she'll say noooo, he's a nice guy blah blah blah!! I was rolling my eyes and just couldn't believe she was doing this and that, it was so frustrating I almost stop reading the book.
I'm all into heroines making dumb decisions, but really.. Lexie is beyond dumb... I think Dex's beating for years did something to her brain that made her permanently stupid. lol
Anyway, despite my rant for the heroine.. I highly recommend this book! I give this more than 5 star because of Lukas! *smirk*
I just want to add that the sex scenes.. was oooh so hot!! I want my own Lukas damn it!
This is my first book from this author and I gotta say I'm very impressed! I thought I already figured out everything in the story, but nooo! I didn't expect that (don't want to give any spoilers! lol) It was so unpredictable I was on the edge the entire time! This is a very well written book that will keep you all night. Trust me.. I only had 3 hours of sleep lol
Now I can't wait for the next book, my gosh it's going to be Kane's story!!!
Omgeee I hope Ms. Grayson will release it ASAP!
