The Blurb:
Lyra Harper
I was driving home to spend the holidays with my family.
But I lost control of my vehicle on an icy mountain road.
I slammed into a tree on the edge of Lake Lucerne.
I barely remember writing my name on the frosted windowpane.
The darkness had swallowed me whole.
I spiraled toward oblivion.
When I awoke from the gloom
I found myself in an old log cabin
With the devil’s eyes piercing fiercely into mine.
Ryker Steel
Up until four days ago, my life was tedious and tiresome.
Until, I rescued a dainty girl with golden hair and hazel eyes.
She looks just like the one I’m trying to forget.
Now my life has turned upside down and inside out.
You see, I inadvertently revealed my true identity.
Now, she can never leave.
We will live in hell, until we take our last breaths, together.
Lyra was the one who insisted on playing the game.
But I have a gut feeling, I will be the one to lose…
Writer was generously provided with ARC in exchange for my honest review:
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. The blurb made me wonder if Ryker was a serial killer or something. I’m weird, I like the bad boys but get a little squeamish at times with dub-con. Still, I proceeded onward because from the reviews it didn’t seem like a dub-con.
I’m so glad I did. Damn. Ryker is one of those sexy alphas that seems to lack a conscience, even if you know that eventually there will be a reason for why he is the way he is. He’s a bit of a dick here and there, but if I’m honest I like them to be a little dickish (hmm, perhaps there is something wrong with me after all).
Why do I have a thing for sociopaths, you ask? That’s why.
I really liked the chemistry between Lyra and Riker. The sex was hot. And there was a LOT of it.
That dirty talk, tho!
I got a little hung up on the fact that girl has a BOYFRIEND out there, but hey, to each their own. I’ve never been trapped with a sexy DEA agent in the middle of nowhere before, so I guess I can’t judge (I mean, I did. I judged).
Fun fact: I had no idea what an apadravya was…welp, now I do. All I can say is…that doesn’t look medically sound. And also to Google and my phone provider: it is exactly what it looks like. Sorry.
The mystery surrounding Ryker is slow-building and delicious. Lafortune keeps the angst up to defcon 5 throughout which I lurrrrrved (angst junkie here).
All in all, a steamy suspenseful read! I will definitely check out more of the author’s books!
