Recommendation
RL Kenderson wove a great 2nd chance romance about 2 kids from the opposite sides of the tracks who are ripped apart by lies. I loved that Addy was strong and changed her life when Maddox was wrongly convicted so she could help others in his situation. Even though they thought the worst of each other, their love had never dimmed and the chemistry kept them coming back for more. Maddox sneaking into Addy’s apartment was super hot, and their relationship had no issues blossoming again once his alpha protector senses couldn’t leave her alone to be in danger. I really hope we get a second book between Maddox’s SEAL teammate and the lawyer, they brought the perfect humor into a tense time of the book.
Excerpts
"What are you doing?" "Checking to see if you're naked." He pushed his pelvis into me. "Spoiler alert: I am."
"I'm going to come in your mouth, and I want my seed to hit your tongue. I want you to taste me. I want you to know it's me coming down your throat."
Her pussy was dripping and gripping me so tight. But her dirty talk was a fucking turn-on for me. And hearing her say my name made me want to make her mine.
Publisher synopsis
First, he took my heart.
It started in high school. I was his girlfriend…he was the love of my life.
We had plans for after graduation. We were going to escape—he from his family’s reputation and me from my father’s control.
But all that changed the summer before college. Charged with a crime he hadn’t committed, he was whisked away from life, never to be heard from again.
Then, he takes my body.
Twelve years later, he’s back. He’s bigger, he’s tougher, and he’s harder around the edges. He’s no longer the boy I fell in love with.
But I’m no longer the girl who gave him her heart.
Everything’s changed between us. Anger, resentment, and bitterness have replaced happiness, love, and trust.
Except for when darkness falls. That’s when he comes to me at night, taking what is still his.
Now, he’s going to take my soul.
When the lines between our old love and our new hate begin to blur, I know that, this time, I might not survive if he leaves.
