The Damaged by Tijan

4.0

The Damaged picks right up where The Insiders left off and OMG! This book sucked me in just like The Insiders did. I couldn't wait to see how Kash and Bailey's relationship develops and to see what comes next.

Baily is attending graduate school but with bodyguards due to all the attention she now receives as a result of being Peter Francis' daughter and also Kash's girlfriend.  Plus with Kash's grandfather trying to get to Kash of course she has to be protected given that she's important to Kash. Their relationship is as intense as ever and just as steamy. 

Bailey worked on developing relationships during the 1st book and she continues to work on developing relationships in this book. She makes some true friends through her graduate class. And her relationship with Matt is stronger as well. Matt actually surprised me in this book and I found myself liking him a lot. 

This book fast-paced and definitely sucked me in and captured my attention. I couldn't wait to see what twists and turns were coming. Unlike the 1st book which I felt ended somewhat abruptly, I felt like this book ended well - although there is still a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the next book to see who the mystery man is. I have some thoughts but won't share. (lol)

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
