I LOVE IT when I get the pleasure of reading a new author or new to me at least. Holy wow this was a great read. There is not one dull moment in this story with any of these characters. Just when you think things are settling down its wham … right in the kisser blindsided.
The book is divided into parts and its definitely appropriate. This story spans over a three year time frame and dang its good. Part One: The First Move – Jean meets Justin on a girls night out. They are filling up on happy hour margaritas at their favorite local bar on Thursday night girls date night. Justin rocks Jena’s world with one kiss. Six months later having spent almost every minute with Justin and she go out to meet a close friend of Justin’s but funny how after six months he has never mentioned him. Alaric “King” Sloan. Jena despises the man the minute she lays eyes on him and he is laying eyes all over her. After a tornadic exchange between Jena and King she never wants to see the man again. One month later, tragedy strikes. Everything has changed. Justin was murdered.
A year has passed. Katie and Ashley are no longer attending girls nights as Katie has gone off the deep end but they are trying to get together still. Attempting the Thursday night girls date the trio meets up back at their favorite bar; the clientele is rougher than ever, Katie’s clothes are shorter, her hair is wild and make up in disarray. Not only has Katie’s actions hurt Jena and her relationship but Ashley rarely comes around because of it.
And this is where the whirlwind beings. Confused, alone and desperate for someone’s touch Jena decides anyone will do for tonight. Justin has been gone forever. Looking around the bar she decides on one giving him a chance to pursue her but then everything comes flooding back and she cant. Fleeing to the hallway to where she and Justin first kissed the douche bag decides to follow her. Being grabbed from behind she struggles only to find herself in the arms of Alaric Sloan and thank god because Mr. Douche Bag followed her. Jena ends up getting what she originally wanted but not from who she thought and it is OH SO FREAKING WICKED AND GOOD. It begins ….. King Sloan earns his name and then some.
Part Two: Dirty Trick -- Um yeah … all you are getting is are you freaking kidding me! Yeah you thought this was a sweet book with Jena being a nasty hoe for banging the man she despised. Oh girl .. you have no idea. Im not judging anyway because I say get it girl .. but I know some of you will!
Part Three: The End Game – but its not. Its just the beginning. Renaldo is coming for them. Tia, Wick (um yeah you will be wanting to lick him too just like King), Jena, Jack. Yup … its going to be a good one. Im not telling you anything else. Tia – dear lord thank you C. C. for the badass chick written into the story line. Katie leaves a lot of questions that need answered.
You are out of luck until 2016 though fans. We wont get another release until then and Im going to die. Tia and Wick are coming at us. C.C. tortures us by giving us an Epilogue and no Jena and King’s story isn’t over. This is all a nicely woven web of betrayal and hell coming at us but not soon enough!
GREAT GREAT READ! I was provided an ARC for an honest review. Thanks C.C. Reed for torturing me! Im dying here ..
