WARNING. This
book contains: explicit sex scenes (some forced, some not), intense situations
not meant for the faint of heart, abuse, adult language and content.
Money is not
the most important thing in the world; love is - so they say anyway.
Fortunately, Drew loves money. He wasn’t capable of loving anything else. The
more money he made, the more he needed to make. Always chasing a deal, that was
the most important thing in the world to him.
You rode
Morgan’s side of the tracks. Now ride Drew’s. You know the things she went
through, things nobody should go through. Is Drew sorry for his part in that?
Probably not. He’s not sure things would have turned out the way they did had
he been the cute little husband the critics expected him to be. He did do
things that hurt her and regretted a lot of his choices, but he tortured
himself, wanting to do them still.
You think you know Drew? You don’t know squat. You know what his
wife has told you. She couldn’t tell you more than that, she doesn’t know that
part of Drew. You want a sappy cliché romance? Move on, this isn’t the story
for you. You want all the gruesome details? Stick around, and then you can
judge Drew.
Ok, I just
finished my review for book one but I have more to say! I finished book one at
midnight a few nights ago and went right on to this one because I simply
couldn't get enough of Drew and Morgan(I finally had to quit for the night at
1:30am because my eyes we crossing) and I wanted to see where this book was
going to take their story!
***If you have
not read book one please don't continue on, as I don't want to end up giving
spoilers.***
When we left
Drew and Morgan at the end of book Drew had become a completely different man.
He and Morgan we madly in love. He was still a tad controlling and dominating,
but that was what Morgan wanted and needed so it's all good. They are living
their lives together with their beautiful baby boy, Nicholas and all in all,
life is good - on the surface anyway.
I will admit I
was shocked as shit when I read the first scene where Drew backhanded Morgan
across the face, I actually read it a couple times thinking I was reading it
wrong or it was a flashback or something. Nope, that motherfucker was at it
again!!
I admit, I was
so fucking angry at this, especially when Morgan excused his behavior and made
excuses for him!! I was livid!! But then.... I kept reading and although a lot
of things in this story bothered me, maybe even more than the first book
because I felt like Morgan was just ok with it all, I tried to understand and
not be judgy(not sure if that's actually a word, but who cares) - They were
going to counseling and working on the root of the issues, which is basically
the story here. In this book we get to really know Drew and discover why he is
such a fucked up bastard. I grew to love Drew, but I also spent chunks of the
story hating him too!!!
Read it! You
will know exactly what I mean!!
The bottom line
is Morgan and Drew are madly in love, they have specific sexual tastes, and
that's ok, they aren't always hearts and flowers and that's ok too. Don't get
me wrong, there are HUGE parts of things that go on between them that are NOT
OK, but they are a work in progress.
"I'm
an imperfect man, and I've made my wife an imperfect woman. We're just two
imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other. She will forever be my
always."
This book
eventually gets it (sorta) HEA as well and I think you will end up loving Drew,
even in all his fucked-up-ness whether you want to or not!! Either way I will
say again, if you can handle a story depicting the sometimes ugly side of love
and relationships and keep an open mind and not judge you are in for a story
that will stay with you for a long time after you finish!!
This girl for one hopes we get to visit Drew and Morgan again
down the road!! I'm not ready to give them up yet!! :)
