“I’m going to ask this once, and once only…You want this?”
Tall, Tatted and Taciturn….
The three words that perfectly describe Sylas Dean .
He is a man filled with angst from the massive betrayal and lost he has suffered through. Though he rarely says anything, still waters run deep, and Sy has more depth than most. And there’s only one woman to tempt him out of his dark depths…
Holly. She is stunningly beautiful, funny, and a tease. She knows what she wants and she goes out and gets it. And she wants Sy. His silence tempts her while his hot tattooed body sets her on fire. Holly knows that he might not be good for her, but heck, what’s life without a little naughty?
It was all fun and games before Zane, Kadence’s ex-fiancé, kidnapped her and Holly. They came out of the experience alive, but battered. Holly almost lost her life, but after several surgeries, she survived. However, she lost something that meant the world to her. And Sy had no idea.
Sy saw the darkness he had in his soul mirrored in Holly’s. Understanding her pain, he made the decision to help her find her way back into the light. Their journey out of the darkness is filled with sadness, humor and lots of hot, dirty talking sex. Throughout the book the reader is taken back to Sy’s past, and it is agonizingly beautiful. His love for the one he lost, his devotion and pain will make your heart bleed. Yet, he puts all that aside for Holly and pulls her out of her darkness. In the process, he found a bit of lightness and peace as well.
I was not expecting to love Sy and Holly’s story as much as I did. It is an emotional read so be prepared to use a tissue or two. There is a lot of heartbreak and a lot of loss. The author kept the story from getting too dark with a great balance of humor and really hot sex. Then there’s Sy’s dirty talk …it does things to girl! It is a book well worth the read and I am eager to see where the rest of the series will take me.
