Now I have a deep-rooted
mistrust of people and a wall of steel and ice surrounding my heart.
So, when Reed Ryan steps into my life, I know I need to keep him far away.
He’s everything I grew up hating. Fighting. Fleeing.
Devastatingly handsome, he looks like a drunken regret and has heartbreak
written over every inch of his body—literally. He’s the quintessential bad boy
. . . and he’s a cop.
But the man is my undoing.
When I push, he stands firm.
When I fight, he battles for us.
When he touches me, my traitorous body and heart respond.
Little does Reed know, every lie I feed him is laced with truth.
I have demons that refuse to let me go. Now one of them is threatening to
destroy us both.
My Review: I LOVED this
book! Ugh, but then again, it's Molly and we all know my love for her.
Reed is so well done. He looks like a bad
boy, has the ink and the muscles, but deep down is the sweetest guy you will
ever meet. He's a cop, ex military and has taken a liking to Emma. Oh and if
you've read Molly's other books, you'll know who his parents are.
Then come on in Emma. The lovely girl who
just came back to town from NY, with her nice clothes, the heels and of course
her past that makes letting Ryan in hard as is, forget trying to love him. Poor
Emma though had a really tough childhood and now after things that went down in
NY, she just came home, well to her grams really. Oh, and a baby sister that
she didn't even know existed and was jealous off the bat that she got ditched
with grams and didn't have to deal with the crappy mom that they have.
Any who, I adored these two so much! I could
relate with both of them in so many ways actually that it hit home and the
emotions were going on this one. But what I love is just how much Ryan loves
Emma and works so damn hard to make sure she is okay in every way. One of my
favorites (spoiler here) is how he knows she doesn't like cops, so one night he
has her take off his uniform. That way she would get to see that he really
isn't that bad of a guy that she thinks, that its really just a uniform. But oh
you just have to read it for yourself to see just how kind and patient he
really is.
Another win for Molly!
