fmmiller88's review against another edition
5.0
I received this book in return for an honest review from LoP.
Initially I read the story as a stand alone because I didn't feel that these characters really fit in with the other people from the previous books. Liz's story was more intense than the other stories. Robert was not a main character is the other books so it was easier for me to just view this as a stand alone. During the second part, more of the characters introduced in the other books were coming into play. I liked this book and im glad that Brandy went into more detail about Liz's circumstances and her and Robert's entire love story. It was a sweet fix that her Robert and Tremaine just fit together. I'm also glad that their friends came in to help them because that is really what this series seems to be about. The different types of love people can offer.

I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and Carrie, the moderator of Lovers of Paranormal group of Goodreads for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
Whoa!!! This one is the best among all the other books in this series. Just awesome-sauce!!!
I loved Liz more than any other heroine we met in this world and she was so mature I just admired her. She knows how to cope up with your problems rather than run from it and has the courage and devotion to sacrifice your love just to keep him safe. Just great!!!
The guys in this book, I mean Tremaine and Robert are just like the dream boy that every girl wants. They are caring and can sacrifice their lives to save Liz, well that is just not possible to get now a days.
I loved the way the story flowed smoothly without any fault or mistake. The plot is awesome and the writing style of the author is fab which brought life in to the plot and the characters. Over all a great read guys with thick and grasping mystery, heart-stopping suspense and passionate romance along with true love. Enjoy the read!!!

This book took a little longer to get into it since you needed LOTS of background information to keep up with the present. It was a great book though.

I received a copy of this book from the author via Goodread's LoP group in exchange for an honest review.
This story is divided into two distinct sections. The first half focuses on Liz's early life where she is rescued as a child from an evil mage by Tremaine and taken to live with Robert's family so that she has a chance at a normal life. What happens to Liz and Robert, Robert's family, and all of the awfulness that culminates in Liz and Robert being torn apart was well written and laid out. The second half focuses on the fall out from the scars and trauma that Liz has endured, Tremaine's and Robert's guilt over the way things happened, and the reemergence of James and the evil he plans to continue.
Although I can't find fault with the basic story, albeit there is some very disturbing events that were not described in detail, but what happens is crystal clear, I again have a problem with the behaviors and attitudes of the "alphas" that Rivers developed. I have said before that I do not like an alpha who kowtows to the female lead at the expense of his own strength and common sense. I have a fundamental problem with a supposedly alpha male standing back for over 20 years watching the woman that he supposedly loves slowly but surely self destruct. What self respecting alpha male stands back and allows the woman he loves to consistently and continually have drunken meaningless sex with men? That is exactly what Tremaine does. Secondly, what alpha male not only lets the woman that carries his heart walk away from him but does not contact her and force some kind of resolution for over 20 years? That is exactly what Robert does. What's more Tremaine knows where Robert is all of these years, sees the pain and tragedy that is Liz and doesn't contact Robert and say that the woman he claims to love is having serious issues? Liz, Liz, Liz. What kind of strong woman watches the man she longs for having sex with another woman and gets turned on by it? What. The. Hell. Then, Robert finds the nerve to come around because he needs to "protect" Liz from crazy butt James? They fall into a threesome that somehow they knew could work? No, uh uh, nyet,and hell naw!
I realize that this book has gotten nothing but positive reviews and Rivers is a good writer, but I simply can't tolerate the ever apologizing and accommodating men. Maybe I just like men who will move Heaven and Earth while kicking butt when it comes to the women they love. Sometimes you have to tell the people you love to stop acting crazy and sometimes you have to do that forcefully. Being self destructive is not acceptable even when you have a good reason. Tremaine and Robert where much too afraid of putting their smack down for me. I will be giving this story three stars because it is a well developed and written story, however these two men and Liz just don't move me and I seem to be the only one who has read this story that did not fall in love with it. I'm afraid to think about what that may say about my taste in men...
