“Crossed Lines” by Lana Sky is a dark romance that tells the story of Maryanne Mayweather, Elaine, and Elaine’s husband James Thorne. Maryanne is a rebellious 17-year-old who after being expelled from her 12th boarding school, is sent to live with her aunt Elaine and Elaine’s husband James. James was once a successful author, however, this has since changed. His marriage is falling apart, and the last thing he wants to do is care for his wife's bratty niece. Maryanne's next rebellious act is planning to defame and destroy James, however, their relationship goes down a path filled with risks, consequences, and moments where lines should never be crossed.  

This book… THIS BOOK!!! Lana Sky’s books fall under a very specific and unique category. Her writing is amazing and this book was such a page-turner for me. It’s filled with incredible twists and turns and has a ton of suspense! I’ve re-read the epilogue too many times to count and the last line makes me wish that this standalone had a sequel! This book is dark and covers serious topics so make sure to read content warnings before jumping in.
