SYNOPSIS:

Please note: this is not dark romance.

I am not a good man.

I have lied and cheated and stolen. I've decided between life or death, like it was

my due. None of it matters, not anymore. These are not my sins.

I see her raise her hands, the dark metal she's clutching reflecting the moonlight.

Her finger trembles as she cocks the gun pointed at me. Her eyes are cold,

determined, but I know.

I know her.

My name is Devon Andre and I confess my sin. I am not a good man because this is

the woman I love.

She pulls the trigger.

* Standalone contemporary romance.

* Mature reader advised due to sexual content and strong language.

~~Excerpt #3~~

His mouth slides down my throat, his warm breath tickling the sensitive skin
of my neck, and a shiver runs through my body. That’s all it takes from him;
he has such an effect on me, always has. Holding me tight against his body,
he talks into my ear.
“I couldn't get you out of my fucking mind. Every living thought I had was
stained by you, out there in the darkness, my hands all over your body, your
fingers running through my hair, your moans and sighs. I fucking hate you
for being my weakness.”
His mouth finds mine, and he bites on my lip, punishing me. “I needed to get
you out of my head, out of my heart, out of my soul. You owned me, and I
wanted myself back.” His hand tangles in my hair, and he pulls it back
harshly, exposing my neck. “I just want myself back,” he ends on a whisper,
and then his teeth skim my neck, making my breath hitch.
He trails his mouth up over my throat, his hand making its own way down my
stomach, where he finds the button of my jeans and pops it open. He kisses
along my jaw as he slides the zipper down, and reaches his hand into my
panties. I gasp as his fingers slowly inch down and he slides first one, then
two, and starts to explore, thrusting them in and out in a delicious rhythm.
He pulls my head back gently and kisses my lips. His hand travels down the
side of my face, over my collarbone, between my breasts and down to my
stomach, finding its way under my shirt, cupping my breast. I moan as he
rubs my clit with his thumb, making me quiver with his probing fingers, and
his tongue delves into my mouth, stopping only to bite on my lips. I can feel
his arousal pressing into my side, and it turns me on even more knowing that
I have this effect on him. I hide my face in his neck, biting gently as the first
wave of pleasure hits me. My thighs start shaking and Devon wraps his arm
around my back to hold me up. I tear my mouth away from his neck and arch
my back into the wall behind me, cursing as the pleasure starts to take over
my body.
“Leighton,” Devon growls. I open my eyes and look into his as I ride the
climax, his heavy-lidded, burning gaze making me lose myself even more.

Angie J's Review:

I received this book for an honest review from the author.

Wow....Ok So I am really confused as to what to say about this book......first of all I was super excited to read this novel when I saw the teasers and read the book blurb. I was captivated and was stoked to go on the tour for the book. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for my copy. They day it came in my email I went through the roof.....I cracked open the book and began my journey.......

I will say I was very confused at the begining of the story. Devon and Leighton both are part of mafia families...gotchya. Their families hate each other...gotchya. Devon kidnaps this person he doesnt know because she spied him working with one of her family members...gotchya. But then I had a hard time with the story. Leighton is throwing herself at this man who kidnapped her and he is dying to sleep with this enemy of the family. I was really getting annoyed with the back and forth, will they or wont then and then a twist is dropped on you at 53%. I was even MORE confused with their relationship. I was scratching my head like "why didnt we know this before? I would understand whats going on way better." So again I am re-adjusting to the new dynamic and then they throw a love triangle in the mix with Devons best friend/ex girlfriend and I was like "HUH??" So I am really kinda confused and was actually thinking about giving up the story. I just wasnt feeling it. BUT I am not a quitter so I keep going. I will say at 83%...yes 83% I finally LIKED the story and was loving the twists. But I was kinda sad that it took 83% for me to say "YES!!!" The new dynamic was actually a really good twist and I loved where the story went from there. Mafia and deception is sooooooo awesome.

So Did I like the story, not initially but stick with it because I did find the ending twist pretty good and I was actually glad that I stuck with the story.
