Alaska

I lie to one of the city’s most ruthless men.
And it feels so good.
Deception is a drug, and I’m quickly becoming an addict.
Each time we speak, Zuko has no idea it’s me.
The lie tastes sweet leaving my mouth.
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to—which I don’t.
He thinks our conversations are more than just sex. He’s wrong.
The intimacy he feels is all a facade.
Until the day an embodiment of my darkest fantasies walks into my bar, and his unmistakable voice sends a shiver down my spine.
It turns out I’m not the one in control.
But when he calls tonight, and he will, I’ll be ready…
… with a lie.

Zuko

My job is to hunt. Dispose of problems like they never existed. And I’m incredibly good at my job.
It’s brutal and violent. But, then again, so I am.
I crave destruction. Death is merely a consequence of my dark pursuits.
And I won’t lose a wink of sleep over it, either.
Nothing bothers me.
No one affects me.
Except the vixen with the lilac hair.
When I reveal my true self to her, she laughs it off, enticed by the game we play.
She’s keeping secrets.
And I know all about prying information out of people.
She won’t like my methods.
But I’ll keep playing her little game until I decide what to do about her.
I can’t tell if she is destined to be my wife…
… or my next victim.

My Thoughts:

What a way for the author to start her book – that means not skipping over the Dedication.  Something you need to pay attention to is the author’s warning. 

 

Zuko is very good at listening. Alaska is a woman with a lot on her plate. When we first meet this couple, they meet but not in person. It makes for an interesting beginning. Can you imagine getting to know someone just by the sound of their voice? But when you meet, will you know them right away? Or is it just a feeling? 

 

Our author has created characters that could function in our world but could be considered pure fantasy. For a little while, she helped me forget all the stress I was dealing with at the time. She made it easy for me to forget everything around me and see what Zuko and Alaska were doing. I loved Alaska’s stubbornness and Zuko’s ability to push her buttons. But underneath it all, you’ll have to question if you think they’ll be perfect for each other. I was left looking forward to seeing where this series is going to go. 





USA Today Best Selling Author T.L. Smith loves to write her characters with flaws so beautiful and dark you can’t turn away. Her books have been translated into several languages. If you don’t catch up with her in her home state of Queensland, Australia you can usually find her travelling the world, either sitting on a beach in Bali or exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco or walking the streets of New York.
