I just love these big alpha men!!! This series is full of them. So far there are 7 books. The 8th will be out in December, and I can’t wait!!

P.J. and Cole compete all the time. I was hoping all the competitiveness was a cover for romance. I’m so glad I was right. It seems this has been a long time coming.

The day after they finally give into their desires; which, by the way, was super HOT, they get called back out on a mission. Cole wasn’t a fan of this mission, but P.J. wasn’t about to let him make the call after one night with him. She should have listened to him.

The mission went unbelievably wrong. I was devastated. The men, on the team, were devastated. Cole was heartbroken. And P.J.? She was destroyed……

She decides to quit the team and go off on her own mission of retribution. She doesn’t wanna drag her team down with this dark path she is heading down. She can’t function any more, until payback has been given.

But Cole doesn’t give up on her. He knew, from the moment he laid eyes on her, that she was gonna be his. Now he had to find her and bring her back and help her get better.

After six months he finds her and is determined to bring her back to herself and help her heal.

“I’ll wait as long as it takes, P.J. I’ll do whatever I can to help you. Whatever it takes for you to heal physically and emotionally. Just know that I’m not going anywhere, and it’s time for you to stop running.”

It’s takes a lot of patience, and love, to show her that she belongs to Cole and the KGI family. No matter what happens, this is her family now and they won’t turn their backs on her.

“I’ll always have your back, P.J. You’ll never have to look far to find me.”

If you can get past the mission scene, the rest of the book is smooth sailing. Just a word of warning. 🙂

imageThe book opens with Gabe Hamilton mentally lusting after one of his best friend’s (much younger) sister at the grand opening of his hotel. Mia Crestwell is attracted to Gabe as well. They end up making out at this party. They stop and he tells her to meet him at his office the next day.

Gabe offers Mia a job as his personal assistant. She’s naturally confused. He explains, “The purpose of your working for me is so you’d be at my side at all times. And I’d have you when I want & how I want.” Let me backtrack a little to mention that Mia is a recent college graduate. Gabe is 13 yrs. older than her AND the sister of one of his dearest friends & business partner. This is his proposition to her. It gets worse. She accepts! It gets much worse. He hands her a contract to read stating the terms of their relationship.

The contract states that Mia will “cede power to him not only in the bedroom, but in all aspects of their relationship as well.” Gabe’s end of the contract is “that all her needs would be met, physically and financially. There was nothing at all about emotional needs.” Does Mia sign this contract? Of course, she does, otherwise there wouldn’t be a book. I wish there wasn’t a book. And I wish this was not the first book I won on Goodreads. 😦

The rest of book book lives up to the horrible premise of the book. A lot of excuses are made about why Gabe behaves the way he does. None are valid enough to justify his treatment of Mia. I gave this book 2 stars because I did like his friends, especially the sarcastic Ash.

I won this book though the First Reads giveaway on Goodreads.
