My Review
Rating-

Sexual-

Cover- Love it!

Very emotional and intriguing story, that was very hard for me to put down. The hero and heroine in this book are what you call tortured, so this book will be hard to read for some while others will relish in its emotional rollercoaster. I’m not usually one for this kind of read because it really pains me to read all the heartache, but I loved how it flowed and how the author keeps them both working on their problems.

Few spoilers sorry, it’s the only way I can write this.
Malachi is a vampire that has lived thousands of years, but he had never felt a woman’s touch. When he was a teen he found himself in the hands of male sadists. So there is mention of m/m rape. I am one that has a hard time about m/m rape, but the author does a good job without going over board to make anyone uncomfortable. With this problem Malachi doesn’t think he can needs a woman until one night he here’s a cry in the park..

Geri is not in much better shape, she two is a victim of a man and now she is homeless. She is saved in a park one night by a huge and handsome man. As they embark on an adventure she finds herself falling for him, but can she change him and earn his trust to get him pour out his soul.

If you like tortured heroes and emotional rollercoaster then give this one a try. This is book 3 in a series, but this can read be as standalone.
