Undertow by Sam Mariano
5.0
Undertow had me completely enraptured from start to finish.
It's a unique take on bully romance, and as such much lighter than Mariano's usual, but the foreshadowing of what's to come in connection with this brand new world will pull us right back over the edge of darkness.
Gemma is a single mother who has worked hard to make a better life for herself and her daughter. They are having the time of their lives, except for the fact that their next-door neighbor is a wretched bully.
Gemma is a gentle soul who avoids conflict until her neighbor crosses the line by mentioning her daughter. She transforms from mild-mannered to mama grizzly and proceeds to the office of the most ruthless lawyer in town.
Hayden is the kind of alpha-hole that only Mariano offers. There's a reason he's a successful lawyer; he doesn't give up until he's done everything he can to get what he wants, but this time it's not about winning a case, but about the wide-eyed woman who storms into his office.
Instant chemistry isn’t an adequate phrase for what happens the moment Gemma and Hayden meet for the first time. There’s a tension so wrought heat emanates from the pages, an instant possessiveness that becomes ingrained in Hayden with only a few words shared, and his presence offers Gemma a feeling of feeling safe and protected. It’s 2 opposites finding the balm for any heartbreak and trauma their soul has ever been dealt.
A brand new world from the Queen of Bully herself, yes please. Undertow was such a light unique twist on the trope, but never fear, a prelude to the darkness in what’s to come is lining up to be the dark twisted debauchery Mariano excels at.
Undertow is a different spin on the bully trope, but Hayden is alpha-hole with a side of swoon that will have panties combusting around the world.
Undertow is an exhilarating and addictive start to this new Mariano world. An all-consuming mix of soul-stirring chemistry, witty banter, wicked hot steam, and a prelude into the step back over the edge in the dark epicness that’s to come.
