Then he kissed her. Really kissed her. He kissed her the way he should have been kissing her all along. He kissed her because he loved her, because she wasn't just his wife, but the love of his life, his best friend, and the only family he would ever need. He kissed her because he worshipped her, because she meant the world to him, because she was his everything- his sun, his moon, the air he breathed, and the sole reason for his pathetic existence. He kissed her and tried to show her that he'd been made for her and that without her, life wasn't worth sh*t. Without her, he wasn't even half a man. Without her... he was nothing.- Xan
This book blew me away. I thought book 1(The Soul Mate) jacked me up. Well it was nothing compared to this one. All the stakes are higher. Everything is amped up. More intense, more frightening & shocking. More Erotic than ever. And the heart... OH GAWD the heart! It just pours out in this one. You can't help but become consumed by it.
I called it right when I said before, that I would drive myself insane if I read this book before the final book was released. Guess what? I'm FREAKIN INSANE! Why do I torture myself? Ms. Sheehan came big in this one. She held it down & all I can say is WOW! READ THIS TRILOGY PEOPLE! And don't do what I did, start this trilogy when all 3 books are out please.
I experienced so many emotions across the board while reading this. I mean first I was like....
Then I was like...
Then sh*t got real & I was like...
Then sh*t got real scary & I was like...
Throughout the whole book both Gerik & Xan had me like...
Then Gerik threw me for a loop & scared the crap outta me so I was like...
By the end of this book I was crying tears of sadness, joy, anger & love & feeling even more like a dumba** for reading this book without having book 3 next to me to start.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the epilogue left me like this...
I highly recommend this read. That it be read in order and that you don't come near it until book 3 is released sometime this year.
