Brand Me by Verlene Landon
4.0
Brand Me is book two in the Imagine Ink series by Verlene Landon that I gave 4 out of 5 stars. Each book in the series revolves around a different couple, and can be read as a stand-alone or part of a series as each book introduces the other couples. Warning: this book covers difficult and emotional subjects such as rape and sexual assault. The novel is from the main character’s POV, Tori Reid.
Tori Reid thinks she has it all! She has loving friends and family, and a boyfriend she is mad about. But everything isn’t perfect. Her friends hate her married boyfriend, Richard, and he hasn’t left his wife yet because he’s concerned about their children. She is trusting that he will leave her soon, and ignores her friends pleas to dump him. He isn’t exactly Prince Charming either, and doesn’t treat Tori as a woman should be treated. Then suddenly, Richard invites her for a three-month vacation. Tori thinks this is a game changer for their relationship, and is over the moon to leave with him. But when they get to the cabin secrets emerge. Is he the man she thinks he is? Does he even want a future with her?
Michael Brande is a gorgeous and hardworking guy. He’s a personal trainer, pilot, and plays in a rock band. Of course he has groupies, and women throwing themselves at him-not that he minds. Just having broken up with his girl, he knows the best thing is to get away to the cabin to regroup. Then he sees Tori, and she is all he can think about. He didn’t expect to meet the woman of his dreams right now. She seems to feel the instant connection too. But he has issues in his past that resurface, and some damage can’t be repaired. Can broken people find love?
Will Tori finally see the real Richard, and run to Michael? What happens when Richard finds out the chemistry between Tori and Michael? You will have to read to find out! This story has amazingly detailed characters with rich background stories and traumas. There are so many issues that all three characters are hiding from each other that you will blaze through this book to find out what happens! Can’t wait to read the other two in this amazing series!
