Synopsis:


A deliciously seductive standalone coming soon to ebook, print and audio.
The hunter has become the hunted.

I’ve been running for ten years—fleeing my past and clawing my way toward an inescapable act of vengeance. Finally, I can taste revenge on the tip of my tongue.

Until he walks into my life, sure and strong and full of secrets.

He dilutes my thirst for retribution with his touch. He obliterates my need for solitude with his kiss. But it’s his hidden agenda that makes the hair on the back of my neck prickle.

He wants something. Something that doesn’t revolve around sweaty skin and tangled silk sheets like he’d have me believe.

I have to stop falling for him, otherwise the last ten years will all be for nothing. I need to keep running, keep fighting for vengeance, even though I know he will track me down.

But trying to escape him is just another problem. Because now I crave the hunt.

Goodread


My Thoughts:

Emma “Steph” Stephens does a great job of pretending.  She’s had quite a few years to perfect her craft.  She’s a very fascinating character that grabbed my attention right from the start.  First it was because I couldn’t figure her out.  Second it was because I wanted to know where she planned to take the reader.  It was interesting to see how the author labeled her chapters – added to the mystery.  Hunter is a man who has met his match.

If you’re looking for a book where you wonder who the characters are and what are they hiding than this is a book to check out.  I’m terrible at solving mysteries and that’s one reason that this book held my attention.  Emma had so many layers to her – she wasn’t just a simple straightforward woman.  She can hold her own against any man.  But I got so frustrated because even when I got to the end, I had to ask myself if I missed something.  It’s as if the mystery is only partially solved and there’s more to come.  And that’s part of the problem – is there more to come?

Blurb:
He knows every play in the book. But she’s calling the shots.

I’m Maddox Ledger, all-star winger and the reason the Charlotte Strikers killed it in the playoffs. Yeah, the tabloids like to call me arrogant. A real hothead. All I see is a guy who plays to win. Wreaking havoc on the ice, breaking a few hearts—that’s all just part of the game. And I’m sure as hell not sitting on the bench.

When my teammate asks me to be in his wedding party, I can’t refuse. Lucky for me, the bridesmaid I’m paired with is the definition of eye candy, but she’s so much more than that. Lacey Easton is totally irresistible and she makes me want to be a better man. A glimpse of bare shoulder takes me back to a steamy, two-week Vegas tryst I can’t forget. One I’m eager to repeat.

Suddenly our one-night stand is turning into the sequel. Still, Lacey’s keeping secrets. She doesn’t trust me. And maybe I deserve it. But I know more than she thinks I do and there’s no chance I’m letting her get away—or letting another guy take what is mine. This time, I’m playing for keeps.

My Thoughts:

Maddox Ledger has decided to go after what he wants.  He grabbed my attention from the first moment that I met him.  Lacey Easton doesn’t know what she wants.  And she thinks she absolutely knows what she doesn’t want.  She confused me because I just wanted to ask her “why?”

This is my first Breakaway novel and I can’t figure out why. But then I give myself that duh moment because I know the reason is that I’m reading so many other books.  This just means that my TBR list is growing and that’s both a good thing and a bad thing.  I will say that this is due to how much I enjoyed getting to see how Maddox was going to handle the roadblocks that stood in his way of getting what he wants.  There were a couple of times that I wanted to yell at Lacey to “wake up!”  It’s all worth it in the end because I get to smile and know that I got my happy ending.  But then I frown because there’s no hint to another book.  So I will have to keep an eye out to see what this means in my reading future.  Though this does give me time to read the two previous titles.

Excerpt:

“And we’ll be right back,” Maddox announced, grabbing my wrist.
He pulled me away, and I went willingly with him. I glanced back at Braeden and he started toward us, but I shook my head, stopping him midstep. Maddox turned the corner, his eyes burning like fire.
“I thought I could get through this, but I can’t. I’m so fucking tired of the lies. I know who you are, Lacey.”
My heart stopped. I pretended to be stupid. “Of course, you know who I am. Stop being silly. We need to get back to the wedding.”
He stepped closer, caging me against the wall, with his lips so close to mine. “No,” he growled low. “I mean, I know who you are . . . Paige.” Keeping his eyes on mine, he glided a hand down my bare back and reached inside my dress, circling his fingers around my strawberry birthmark. My whole body broke out in chills.
“Did you seriously think I wouldn’t recognize you?”
“Took you long enough,” I snapped.
“Oh, I knew who you were right after you left me in Vegas.” My mouth dropped. “Yeah, that’s right, sunshine. A well-paid private investigator can find out anything.”
