Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power... Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it's the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love...Love isn't patient, love isn't kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don't regret. Trey... With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she's back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she's the closest I've ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it. How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?

    Getting Warmer

    The initial chapters of this book presented a challenging start for me. I found myself bewildered and struggled to immerse myself in the narrative due to its abundance of enigmatic elements and concealed secrets. However, as the story unfolded, my appreciation for it grew immensely.

    The bond between Harley and Trey was nothing short of remarkable. Their initial encounter had a touch of humor and serendipity that greatly appealed to me. When they transitioned from mere friendship to embracing their desires for one another, it was portrayed with fervor and sensuality, igniting the pages of the book.

    Trey emerged as an exceptional character, embodying qualities such as sweetness, charm, allure, and genuine care. Beneath his outward charm, he battled his own inner demons. As his friendship with Harley blossomed, he grappled with the challenge of sharing his past and the tearful history of his family, leading him to withhold much of it.

    Harley, on the other hand, possessed a certain innocence that surprised me, given her previous life experiences. However, this naivety added to her charm and likability. Initially, it appeared as though she might struggle in her journey towards self-discovery, a part of the story I didn't particularly enjoy. Nonetheless, as time passed, Harley underwent a transformation, evolving into a lovable and resilient character whom I came to adore.

    As I reached the conclusion of the book, I felt relieved to discover that "Every Second With You" was already available, as I was eager to delve deeper into Harley and Trey's story. I hoped to find resolutions for Harley's personal journey and Trey's family history, along with addressing the various hints and mysteries left hanging at the end of this installment.
