An addiction like that is a weakness, and now, more than ever, I can’t allow weakness in my life.
Left by her fiancé on her wedding day, Brooke is devastated but unfazed as she believes she dogged a bullet. Their relationship was lacking connection over the past year or so. Processing everything, she spontaneously changes her honeymoon plans from LA to New York. That’s when she meets a dangerously gorgeous suited man in first class after getting an upgrade on the way to New York. This weekend away changes everything. But soon, she will uncover the truth alongside betrayal and lies.
This is what I’m talking about. A perfect amount of plot and spice. I was living for everything in this book. How it started, the wild weekend away then, returning to all the secrets coming out, my heart hurt. I felt used like the FMC, but then the enemies element came out, and Brooke was feisty and challenging Zev at every turn. He was an asshole, but his inner thoughts had me screaming. Zev is a brick wall, and he is drawn to Brooke. The nickname he had for her made me weak. The twists, tension and plot just did it for me. The hate spice scene I devoured. Don’t even get me started on how cute the little side story of two side characters, Igor and Enya. That ending, I had tears in my eyes. I didn’t cry, but I grabbed my chest and felt the pain. If you pick this up, it leaves off on a cliffhanger. I can not wait to start the next book!
