Why the hell haven’t I read a book by Sue Moorcroft before? I wasn’t supposed to start reading this book straight away, but I got sucked in as soon as Jed Cassius appeared on the page and I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it.
Firstly, let’s talk about Jed. He is one of the hottest male characters I’ve read since meeting The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. He just oozes sexual confidence, sizzling off the page and making you weak at the knees. There is a darkness to him, that bubbles just under the surface, but this just makes him even more sexy as the story progresses. You are never quite sure if he is going to turn out to be the right person for Tamara. Determined to win Tamara over, he will stop at nothing until she is his. The growing relationship between them just gets hotter and hotter as they skirt around each other.
The rest of the characters were delightful to read about and so well rounded. I loved Lyddie. She was so innocent and I just wanted to hug her and take care of her. Her relationship with Tamara was just beautiful – you could see from the beginning that Tamara would do anything for Lyddie. It wasn’t just out of guilt, her love for her sister shone through.
The plot was intriguing, with plenty of juicy sub plots to get your teeth into. I never saw the events of the second half of the book coming at all – they really took me by surprise. I love the way the author mixes difficult, real life situations with hot and steamy romance all running along a fast paced , thrilling path. Sue Moorcroft writes beautifully. The book is so descriptive that you can actually visualise every little detail of the book. The author must have carried out extensive research in order to write such a detailed story.
I really really loved this book and I intend to recommend it to everyone I know. I may now need to invest in Sue Moorcroft’s back catalogue because I desperately need to read them all.
