BookLover Sue: Release Blitz, Review and Giveaway

Synopsis:

Sloane
I'm not proud of the things I've done.
The things I've had to do.
The things I've given away,
but I'd give it all over again to find her. Even if I die trying,
I have to find Alexis.

Zeth
She wants me to help her,
But I won't.
She wants me to save her sister,
But I can't.
She wants me to be her hero,
But I'm not a good man.
I am her damnation.

Excerpt:

“You’re sick, you know that?” I say into the darkness. A soft rustling sound greets me, followed by the shift of movement. Yes, the lights are off but the corridor is lit behind me so it’s not like last time. I can see enough to make out the looming figure that slowly paces toward me.

“I know I’m not normal, if that’s what you mean.” A terrible devil’s mask appears before me, two feet away; Zeth is dressed entirely in black, the suit he wears obviously a thing of beauty even in the half light. His dark eyes shine from within the mask, sharp and hungry.

“You’ve surprised me, Sloane. I like being surprised,” he rumbles. “Well you’ve surprised me, too. Although I can’t say the feeling is mutual.”

He laughs, his voice so deep and powerful I can feel it in the soles of my feet. “You should open up a little. You never know what you might enjoy until you try it.”

“I know exactly what I enjoy, Zeth, and standing around watching fifty naked people grind on each other isn’t it.”

The eyes behind his mask flicker with annoyance when I say his name. He stalks toward me and reaches out, tracing his fingertips across my jawline. He seems pensive, intrigued by my stillness—I can’t freaking move—as he touches my skin.

“If you don’t like watching, Sloane, you can always join in.”

My Review:

I found myself drawn into this story from the very beginning. Sloane will do anything to find her sister, including sleep with a stranger to get information. She is strong and determined and I found myself really liking her. Zeth is a killer. He is the gun who is aimed and he has been fine with this as long as his boss follows his one rule. He is strong but he does have a caring side that he mostly keeps hidden. I found myself drawn to him....he is so tough but does have compassion and morals, of sorts. The story is very well written and very interesting. This is a darker romance but it is a romance. The two main characters find themselves unwillingly attracted to each other. Sloane and Zeth are as different as any two people could be but there is a spark that both have a hard time denying. I am now anxiously awaiting the next book as this left me wanting so much more.
