Craving (The Four Groomsmen of the Wedpocalypse #2)
Lilian Monroe
THE WEDPOCALYPSE CONTINUES... Marlon St. James wants only one to be left alone. He has a house, a successful private security business, and endless peace and quiet. Things are exactly as they should be. Until Camilla. His brother thrusts soft, sweet, curvy Camilla Fox in front of Marlon and announces that she’ll be moving into Marlon’s house. Otherwise, she’ll be homeless. Fine. Marlon isn’t a monster. He can lend her a room. Temporarily. Yes, she’s the woman of Marlon’s dreams. No, he’s not going to do anything about it. He wants her. He can’t have her. The end. All he has to do is stay away from her and quell the protective instincts that try to rise up and choke him. Camilla doesn’t need protection from Marlon; she’s a baker in demand, not a damsel in distress. That is, until Marlon learns that Camilla's life isn't as sugar-sweet as it seems, and she might need the help of a six-foot-four private security consultant after all…

0This is Marlon and Camilla’s book in the Wedpocalypse series and pretty much picks up right where ‘Conquest’ left off, only it’s of course, in the aforementioned characters’ POVs.
I found that I absolutely loved it early in and it got me thinking about my own issues, because the female lead was soo relatable—she’s had to rely on herself and make something out of nothing. She’s never had a strong support system (until now) so once she has one, she’s too afraid to rely on it, go with it, etc. And she’s keeping secrets. It made it SO FUN and of course, packed substance.
Forced proximity.
Roommates to lovers.
Overprotective male lead.
Headstrong female lead with hyper-independence.
Seedy loan shark.
Multiple crime plots.
Extortion.
Secrets.
Protective male lead.
This is both a romance and an action-packed read with crime, mystery, full-on villains and of course a tale of a couple of broken people finding their way. Wholeheartedly recommend.
5 stars.
