Nothing will get in her way.
Nothing except Carter.

Sloan is the best thing to ever happen to Asa. And if you ask Asa, he'd say he's the best thing to ever happen to Sloan. Despite Sloan's disapproval of Asa's sinister lifestyle, he does exactly what he needs to do in order to stay a step ahead in his business. He also does exactly what he needs to do in order to stay a step ahead of Sloan.
Nothing will get in his way.
Nothing except Carter.

Where did this book take me? Honestly, my heart bled for Sloan I mean dang girl you really are all about family. Sloan is trying to take care of herself and put herself through college. Her life has never been just easy there are many obstacles that she has overcame time and time again. So when she ends up with the first man who took her breath away among other first things she learns he is not all what he seems. Asa has things from his childhood past that really affects him in way too many ways. At the end of the day Asa has a business to run and needs to stay ahead of the game and hide a lot from Sloan. When Carter comes into play Sloan's world is even more upside down than before. Her feelings for Carter grow even though she knows it is dangerous for not only herself but for Carter. Asa is a crazy man and he has made it known no one will ever have Sloan. Sloan is different, she is not like the other girls. As we progress in the story we see just how crazy Asa truly is and we finally see Sloan get herself a backbone and say enough is enough. 

This one part stood out to me: "I read once that the different between an extrovert and an introvert isn't how you act in a group setting. It's whether or not those group settings give you fuel or drain you. An introvert can outwardly appear to others to be an extrovert, and vice versa."

When Sloan tells Asa this I can relate. I want to tell certain people this so much: "You had a lot of potential. But you spent every day of your life expecting the world to repay you for a few really shitty years you were dealt as a child. That's where you went wrong. The world doesn't owe us a thing. We take what we're given and we make the most of it. But you took what you were given and you shit on it and then expect more."

International and #1 New York Times bestselling author of romance, YA, thriller and Women's Fiction. And maybe a ghost story soon.

I don't like to be confined to one genre. If you put me in a box, I'll claw my way out.
