I was impressed by the previous book about this couple as it was more or less realistic. Well at least in how people reacted. This second novel is a big disappointment. While Emmalin in book 1 is a strong independent woman here she is a mental heath case who takes the most unrealistic decisions. I mean: you have a powerful and rich boyfriend who has unlimited means and who wants to do everything to protect you and really loves you. And then when she gets threatened it takes more then a third of the book before she confides in him? While the first thing would be to run to him would it not? The story itself gets very unrealistic and the times oral sex is mentioned started to bore me. Sorry book one was very good but this one not.

I loved reading the outstanding and amazing second book in the Incapable series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy from NetGalley. Emmalin's world comes crashing down when Carson, her stepbrother, demands money from her or he will hurt the ones she loves. Emmalin will do anything to protect Grayson but not fast enough to save Tyler. How can Emmalin escape Carson's treacherous, abusive tendencies and still stay sane and be with Grayson. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of mystery, intrigue, and romance, and a must read romance.

The second part of this book was better than the first. I feel it could have been and excellent read had the book been a little less violent and the sex scenes toned down. It is hard for me to believe that a woman who came out of such an abusive situation could put up with a man being abusive in a different fashion.
The book was well written even though I didn't care the adult situations.

Personally, I enjoyed this book more than the first. That ending in Incapable is why I picked this one up. I thought I had it all figured out and that things were going to get better for Emmalin. But Marie Skye decided to throw us all for a loop with that.

Marie Skye has written an amazing story which is much more than just another hot romance novella. She delves into the character's feeling and the story evolves fast keeping the reader's interest high. Though the story has some soft BDSM scenes, I would say the reader is so caught up by the plot that even if he/she is not so up to BDSM lifestyle he/she will find him/herself hooked with the book.

I really believe the author did a great job going into depth with her characters and narrating the story. I can't wait to read what happens next and how the story evolves.

Book 2 was as good as the first 1. Good overall writing.

This story is once again about Emmalin and Grayson. It picks up by where the first story ended when in the ball Emmalin sees someone from her past and her old nightmares wakes up. Initially she tries to hide things from Grayson but he quickly picks up that something is off. Grayson tries to protect her with in every way he has, until the unthinkable happens that breaks down both of them. Though they try to pick up their pieces Dale comes into picture and the story ends once again with a veil of mystery.

Unjustly Destroyed by Marie Skye is Book Two in the "Incapable" series. This continues the story of Emmalin and Grayson. Since this is an ongoing storyline I would highly recommend you read the previous book " Incapable". Also this book does end with another cliffhanger to set you up for the third installment called "Infinitely Mine". This book picks up where they left us with the last book.
Emmalin emotional past is getting stronger than she can fight but she does start to place the walls up that Grayson has seeming started to slowly work down.
Their story has you on such an emotional world-wind that you can't put down. Things that have seeming worked with similar stories ins't working for them.
Need the next book!

HIDING…
From my past, my secrets, who I really am. But now, he's caught up with me. Back to destroy me, once and for all, with his smug, smiling face. He's going to ensure that I'm in pain, and I'm going to fight like Hell to stop him. I'm at my limit. I'll do anything to protect Grayson.

Let me start by saying this book is a dark read. It continues where the first book Incapable ends (you cannot read this as a standalone). The book has some triggers so if you have issues with dark themes including rape, this is not for you. With that being said the author wrote this in such a way, it draws you in, holds you tight and will not let you go until the story is complete. Seriously having to work was frustrating because I wanted to sit and finish the book instead. There are some parts of this story that I loved and others not so much.

After reading Incapable you get a background of Emmalin's sordid past. We know she was abused and that she has fought hard to escape that life and to become a strong independent woman. She is still struggling to adjust to Graysons domineering ways. To be fair Grayson really loves her and just wants to protect her and make her happy. While sometimes he is overbearing the author writes him in a way that endures you to him. There are some casualties in this book that broke my heart and actually made me cry. I felt myself blaming Emmalin for hiding things and Grayson for not handling things right for these tragedies.

Emmalin's need to be her own woman and not be a woman who "runs to her boyfriend" caused a lot of unnecessary heartache and pain. Things could have gone so much different. By the time Grayson found out the truth he was already two steps behind and because of his lack of info he was not able to protect everyone they loved. Did I mention that Emmalin was not my favorite in this book? Her lack of communication caused so much strife. Yes, I understand her need to keep some independence and her past made her not want to be so entwined with a man, but no. She tells Grayson she trusts him, yet she keep things from him. The book ends with her doing it again.

This book gets 4.4 stars from me. It was really well written and I felt a connection with most of the characters. It does end on a heck of a cliffhanger so beware. I would definitely recommend this book as well as the first.

Picks up where Incapable ended. Was very glad there was a second book! I enjoyed it, just as I did the first.

Grayson was just too overpoweringly dominating for my liking, towards the main female character... The mutual emotions felt by both leads aren't explored and instead very subtly implied, which can be difficult to pick up on.

Just as amazing as the first one and leaves you on your toes! Well written and the hidden twists and turns are amazing. So much better than 50 series. Great characters strong and so real

I didn’t like Emma before and I especially didn’t like her now. Emma is keeping secrets and she is keeping Grayson at a distance and she keeps lying. Grayson is not a man that will take it lightly being pushed aside. Grayson was much more likable than Emma in this book. He wants to protect Emma but she is being very secretive and that’s not helping out.

This book got me teared up in parts. I felt the pain and longing emma and grayson felt throughout thr entire book. I love that no matter what obstacle stands in Emma's way and no matter who tried to destroy her, Grayson is right beside her to protect her and put her pieces back together! They have an unbreakable romance! I cant wait to keep reading more.
