This was a really good read with great characters and plenty of twists and turn this book had me reading late into the night. I just loved the chemistry between Tessa and Xavier the heat between them cause for some really hot sex scenes. It was a really good read and I will be checking out more from this author in the future.

Quick, intense, sexy and to the point. A romantic erotic read of one mans plight to save the life, and sanity, of the woman he loves whilst protecting himself from a past he no longer wants to acknowledge.
Plenty of unanswered questions as the story of Xavier and Tessa begins, as they struggle to find a way through all the lies and deceit but what happens when Tessa learns of the deceit closest to home.

I'm sorry, but this book was a miss for me. It took me a while to get into the story, and I never really did; I didn't really connect with any of the characters, their decisions and actions left me feeling frustrated and sometimes mad. I had high hopes for this series, but after reading this first book I can say I don't think I'll read any more :(

This is my first A.L. Long book. sadly to say this one wasn't for me. I tried it on multiple occasions and I just could not get into this one. I had high hopes for it.

This is a hot steamy debut. Had me guessing and the end leaves you wanting more. But some answers are given.

An enjoyable quick read for me. Lots of hidden secrets in the plot which all of them shocked me. I'm interested to see what the next book brings. I loved the way it ended...leaving you wanting more!

a solidly written hot romance with an actual plot .Good characters and dialogue helped move the story along nicely. Enjoyed it

What a wonderful book. I can’t accurately tell you how this book keeps you in. You have to the read and fill the struggle. With struggle though isntenderness and care. Can’t wait to see what’s next

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I absolutely devoured this book! So much so that I couldn’t put it down, I read this in one sitting and didn’t get to sleep till 5am.

Now, if you love a love story with a bit of a twist then this is book is for you!

It’s hard to give a review for a story like this and not give anything away.

Xavier and Tessa story will keep you on the edge of your seat and needing answers. It’s a thriller with a lot of deception, suspense, secrets and much much more. The chemistry between Xavier and Tessa is intense and I loved it, I couldn’t stop reading and the more I did the more i fell in love with the main characters, their love story and the deception and secrets. I love a good suspense and this is everything I love and more!

Sit back, hold on tight and get ready for a wild ride with Xavier and Tessa.

Can’t wait for book two! :D

Thank you NetGalley and BookBuzz for letting me read this book for an honest review!
My first time reading A.L. Long and I am not disappointed!

A sexy man with needs...
​"The minute she turned and our eyes met, I knew this was going to be easy. There was hunger inside those emerald eyes that couldn't be mistaken... Watch out, LA, Xavier London is in town. "​

A good story, never boring, things happen, deception, plot twist... And the chemistry between Xavier and Tessa is... steamy!
A book well written, you don't want to put it down! For adults!
