I'm going to start off by saying that T.J. & Cassie frustrated the heck out of me. I wanted to punch T.J. in the throat throughout the entire story. His decisions were not completely reasonable. I don't like it when a character decides to act in what they feel is the best interest of someone else without consulting them in any way. T.J. destroyed his marriage over something that they could have worked through together. His lack of trust in his wife's ability to handle what happened showed his lack of belief in Cassie's strength as a woman. T.J. is supposed to love and respect Cassie but he doesn't trust her to be strong enough to handle some truths. His level of guilt and self inflicted punishment was a bit over the top as well. I didn't mind that Cassie wanted to keep her husband at almost any cost, but I also wanted her to have more fire and get angry at his lack of communication with her much sooner than she did.
With all that being said, I finished this read in one sitting because I couldn't stop swiping the screen. Summers writing is smooth and keeps the story flowing well. The erotic detail is good and there is even a bit of a twist that I didn't really see coming that was able to surprise me. Summers was able to get me invested enough in the characters that I immediately went and bought book one so that I can read Leo and Shay's story. I am also looking forward to reading what Summers has in store for Brute in a later book.
Happy Reading!

Tate is the last person she blames for that horrific night.
She’s
