You
know how you hear those stories about once abused kids growing up and
overcoming the difficult life they have been dealt and becoming majorly
successful like FBI agents or lawyers or something cool like that and
never having any lingering problems?
Well this isn't one of those stories.
I
used to know how my life as going to be, how I was going to live out my
lifeless days, unloved and fearful. Hopeless to the possibility that
life, my life could be anything better than what it is now. I knew that I
would either give up, or give in, either one would eventually being the
end of me and I didn't think that was so bad. I would no longer be
constantly reminded that I was shit, and would be shit no matter how
hard I tried in life. I thought it was all easier to just slip away.
But that was before....
His breathing.
My heart.
His breathing.
My heart.
I tried to step back again, and found myself up against the side of the building, the coldness of it hitting my back. Dammit!
"Harley,"
he moved his thumb and caressed my bottom lip. His eyes fell to my
mouth and he licked his lips, and that was it. I got goose bumps all
over, as I flattened my back against the wall I looked into his eyes,
now a gun metal color and watched as he searched my face. He shouldn't
be allowed to look at a woman like this.
"What
are you hiding?" Those words caused my slamming heart to stop. How
could he know I was hiding, when not even Ember knew? I was trying to
tell myself he didn’t, it was just a ploy for someone like him to get
what he wanted. But deep down, I knew he knew.
"I...I...I don't know what..."
He
took a deep breath and closed the already small gap between our bodies.
I put my hands up to stop him, and came into contact with his rock hard
abdomen. Shit, those couldn’t be real. I wanted to move my hand further
and feel what I knew would be a six pack, if not eight. That was the
wrong thing to touch if I wanted to stop him.
"Just
a taste..." His grip on my face tightened slightly as he pulled me
toward his lips, the heat coming off him felt amazing, it instantly made
my vaginal walls tighten and moisture to dampen my panties. I had been
waiting 23 years for this kiss, to feel lips on mine. I moved my hands
to his side and gripped the sides of his shirt blazingly pulling him
closer, I wanted this, I didn’t care that he was a stranger, a customer
and that I didn’t even know his name. I. Was. Ready.
He
must have taken my actions as a go-ahead and he slowly leaned down
bringing our mouths closer. I closed my eyes because that’s what they
did in all my books and waited for his lips to touch mine.
"Harley, is that you?" A voice I knew and hated right now called out.
Seriously?!
Great fucking timing Ember. I heard him make the sexiest noise I have
ever heard as he braced his hand against the wall and leaned down, his
lips brushing my ear.
“I smell you. Fuck, you smell amazing.” His voice came out leathery.
If
I wasn’t leaning against a wall, I would have fainted epically right
there. I was one hundred and thirty-five percent sure he wasn’t talking
about my deodorant and it made my panties moisten more.
This book is the first in the series and boy I can barely wait to read the next one! Jeri Williams, the author lays it on you in this one! Let me tell you, this author does not let you for one moment think that VIOLENCE is a good thing, not in any form. The pain and brutal truth of domestic violence within the family unit, not just between a husband and wife, is brought to the forefront. You are carried away to the exact moment in time that her characters are beaten and degraded. Not only are you carried away but you too start to feel the pain of the main character and complete anguish. Your body reacts and your heart is driven deep by the reality that this author paints for her readers. I can guarantee this book will keep you reading and definitely wanting more in this series. I can not rate it less than a five. It was my best read of the summer! I loved it!
I recommend for all that are wanting to have an inner look at love and acceptance behind the walls of domestic violence.

***I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
All opinions are mine and I was not compensated for them.***
Jeri
Williams lives a super fabulous lifestyle (by fabulous, she mean’s
kinda lame) in the hot Florida sun and loves reading of any kind (except
instruction manuals and cereal boxes). She has always written stories
and made her family listen to them since she was young, although this is
her first book she has ever published. She is a mom of an up-and-coming
Jerry Seinfeld (in girl form) and also enjoys being right and knowing
everything, although she is hardly ever right and really doesn't know
anything and is obsessed with inventing miniature zoo animals you can
carry around in your pocket (although not really).
