Carter Reed 2 by Tijan




Carter bought his way out of the mafia to protect Emma, but when an old ghost returns to the Mauricio Family, a chain of events starts that can harm everyone. While Carter must decide to return to the Mauricio Family or not, a face that is oddly familiar to Emma comes into her life. She’s given the chance to discover more about her family while tension between the rivaling Mauricio and Bertal Family comes to a head in an explosive way. The truce is officially off, and when the two worlds collide, Carter’s decision is made. 

He didn’t start this war, but he will end it. 

He will do anything to protect Emma. 


This will be a great read if you are trying to forget about the Indebt Series while the next two books are published LOL. The storyline was great, I stayed awake until three a.m. to finish it. It has wit, suspense, romance, passion and most of all DRAMA. Oh how I love drama.

It took the author to write this one two years after the first installment was published. I never imagined I'd see a sequel. You'll loooveee Carter and will fall for his charms hard and fast again. He is hot, a killing machine and better yet, the cold killer, formerly The Mauricio's secret weapon because he is "out of business". He only makes The Mauricio's and the Bertal family richer as a treaty to avoid retailiation against Emma. This guy has everything but unfortunately his happiness doesn't last long. Carter wants to protect at all costs his relationship with her but everything seems to change when one of the families breaks the treaty and she gets targeted. Everybody wants him back. They want him to lead, they want him to kill for them, they want to kill him too but above all, they want to destroy his happiness and they know that the only way to get the Cold Killer back in mafia business, is if they move out of the picture the one thing he holds dear...

Emma 

"Sometimes I was a cold bastard, but I wasn't heartless, not unless I needed to be..."

This book made me laugh and I'm sure you won't be disappointed either. 

Carter is torn between going back to his old ways to protect what he holds dear and going back to help his mafia brother Cole Mauricio who had been hiding for 5 years until the time was right to go back and lead the family business.

"You're smart. So am I. You plan. So do I. But while you wait to make sure the whole team will back you up, I'm already in there and doing it, no matter who's with me and who isn't."

I got annoyed several times by Emma. She just never understood her place... she was so stubborn but anyway those two belong to each other. And she was also selfish towards her friends. I think they loved her more than she did them even though she said everything she did was to protect them. Blah!

"He's going to be the other half, and eventually, it's going to be only him. You allegiance will be to him."

I really liked Cole up until the end. 

I also would like to see another installment so the love story can be finally completed. Pretty Please?

Leo's Chance (Sign of Love #2) by Mia Sheridan



The follow-up to Leo, the USA Today bestselling novel by Mia Sheridan.
Does everyone deserve a second chance? Even someone who lies and deceives to get it?

Do we all have a second chance coming? Even if we play a part in our own destruction?

How hard would you fight to have a second chance at love? A second chance at life? Another chance to tell your own story?



Every love story has two sides. Evie told hers. This time it's Leo's chance.



*************************************************************

If you haven´t read Leo (Sing of Love #1) don´t get near this review...

Wooooaaaaah.! 5+ Emotional heartwarming stars .!!!! 

I don´t know why but I love when the writers give us both characters POV. You know how the book ends but you still get the thrill of knowing what the other person was thinking throughout the first book. God, I had chills when I was getting closer to the climax of the story. Even when I knew it ended with a HEA I just felt distraught for what Jake/Leo was going through to get Evie back to him before he revealed his true identity to her.

This book wasn't supposed to happen I guess. I remember reading in Mia´s web page about not writing second installments and instead she was going to write one book per zodiac sign but I guess that, we (The readers) needed more of Leo and Evie. Seriously, I loved the first book, but sometimes I wondered what Leo was thinking and/or doing when he wasn't around Evie and now all my questions were answered.

I always wondered if Gwen would have she deserved and she did. That Bit"#&ch saw it coming a mile away.

We get to feel the angst Jake has throughout the book and how he struggles in the hospital after his accident and the death of his father.

I suppose anyone that reads this book has previously read the first one, so no need to worry about spoiling situations that happened in that one.

"Why are you looking at me?" She asks, void of any expression in her voice, but her eyes wild with panic.
My eyes search hers for long seconds, looking for anything resembling love or understanding, but find none.
I know what she wants from me though and so I give it to her."Because I like your face."

OH MY.... I have read that line before at the climax of the first one, but reading it through Jake´s eyes was too distressing. I had to stop and wait to pull myself together because I just couldn't afford crying at my desk in the middle of "work". Everything is happening so fast you have to keep your feelings in check to keep reading even though you know what´s going to happen. You literally ache for him, for her, for BOTH OF THEM.!

I can leave this story at peace now. I will eventually read both books again someday just for some R&R ;). Their story was beautiful, packed with horrific and traumatic events from their childhood, but what they suffered throughout the years made them the people they are now, strong, full of love for the smallest things and feeling pride for their own achievements. 

Thank you Mia Sheridan. Looking forward for more of your Sign of Love books <3

My Favorite Quotes...

"It´s a long story."
"I have a Ph.D in long stories." He smiles and I chuckle despite myself. 
"I bet".
"How would you feel about coming back tomorrow morning for an hour or so?"
I pause, considering. "I don´t know, I´m kind of busy. I've got a pity party scheduled for eight o´clock followed by wallowing at nine."
He laughs quietly. "Ten it is then. I´ll see you tomorrow, Jake."

"By the way, pointer, if you´re going to stalk someone, you should try to be a little less obvious about it. For instance, standing in the street gawking at your victim tends to be a giveaway."

"Don´t despair though. I´m sure with some study, you could get better. There might be an instructional video or something you could pick up... maybe a book on the subject, Creepy Stalker for Dummies?"

"Because she´ll tell me to go fuck myself and I don´t want to fuck myself. I want to fuck her." What?!!! LOL 

Leo (Sign of Love #1) by Mia Sheridan



Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love, and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.

When Leo unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.

Now eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for herself. She has a job. She has friends. She's content. Then a man shows up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those years ago?

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.


*******************************************************************

Review:

Might contain Spoilers...

Even though it resembles to FSG and BTY because the characters are just soooo fucked up I do appreciate that the author made a one book story instead of ending it with a cliffhanger. I also do want to thank the author from sparing us from waiting for a second and third installment. I think is very creative the concept she wants to give her books about zodiac signs ;). I personally read this one because I´m a Leo LOL. Thank goodness Mrs. Sheridan gave the characters the traits of each sign ;) or so it seems.

Most of this story was predictable but I must say there were a few parts that I didn´t saw things coming. I was so sad for Jake and everything he had to endure in his life and when he meets Evie how he becomes so overprotective of her and how she is so sweet and content with her life besides experiencing it the way she did at a very young age. 

I have to tell I don´t remember ever reading a book about foster kids or something of that matter. The author makes you get into the story and feel the way a 11 year old would feel in that situation all alone without no one to care about you, their insecurities and the braveness both have to be together and support each other to make their fears go away.

AND THE END.!1 omfg .!! THAT END.!! I was yelling of excitement in my bed yesterday morning. It was beautiful the emotions of the characters by the end were so raw I felt like I was living the story with them.

I will totally follow this author from now on and am very interested in reading her future work.

Favorite Quotes...

I look into his eyes and ask, “Why are you looking at me?”
His eyes search mine for several long seconds before he hold contact and whispers, “Because I like your face.” 

"And the thing about falling in love is that no matter where you are when it happens, you can´t help but color those moments with beauty, even if you´re in a location of ugliness. He made what would have been a place of nightmares into a place to dream."

"Evie", he says quietly, finally looking at me, "What i mean is, when i fuck you, you´re going to be mine. Is that clear enough for you?"

"But i had no idea what to pack to sleep in so I threw in an extra pair of panties and only decent nightie i own since I sleep mostly in t-shirts and zipped it closed before i lost my nerve and took off to help fight the Mexican drug war, which sounded a whole lot less scary than spending the night with Jake Madsen."

"He kind of had a lot riding on you accepting him back into your life." He holds his hands up, "Just playing devil´s advocate."

A Line Drawn (The Finest Line #3) by Catherine Taylor



What began in the The Finest Line and escalated in A Line Crossed, is now concluded in A Line Drawn. 

As Mairead looks to her future with James, their wedding on the horizon, she is plagued with the demons of her past. One of them seems to have invaded her life, but Mairead is uncertain whether she is the victim of a tortured mind, or the prey of an evil man. Separating reality from a nightmare is difficult, but Mairead is certain that she is not alone in uninvited attention. 
Someone has an unhealthy interest in James, which is only increasing her troubles. Knowing that her willful nature often leads to trouble, Mairead tries to find peace in obedience, but submitting to such a dominant man has its own painful problems. 
As their happiness is threatened, Mairead must decide whether submission is the answer, or is it time for a little defiance?

******************************************************************

Maried was the perfect example of "The boy who cried wolf". She had done so many shenanigans and antics that nobody believed in her. James was trying so hard to protect her that he began to believe in other people rather in his girl. I felt like his domineering was way over the top sometimes, but I still love him ;). That being said Adele was a total bitch! I know James loves Mairead forever and ever but there were times where I honestly thought that all the bullshit he said about he being "proud" of her and not liking Adele was a lie. He said sweet things to Mairead but did others that didn't look good from the outside. Fortunately for Mairead while being a pain in the arse to Dylan he was the only one who believed her besides her best friend. Justine was a bi2#&"&ch too and I really hated her but at the end you kind of justify her and see nothing is what it seems.

I really loved the plot and again Catherine doesn't disappoint it had the perfect amount of sex, romance, DRAMA, mystery and a lot of suspense. I am glad I found this series. I read the first book 3 times ;)

I would love to see a book of Dylan... mmmm... yumi.!

A Line Crossed (The Finest Line #2) by Catherine Taylor


After the dramatic prelude to their relationship, Mairead is happy to let James take the helm of their lives, even if his authority can be somewhat painful. Her unusual desires are finally free to be explored, under his administration, but accepting them in a politically correct world is not so easy.


While James meets all her needs in every exciting way, Mairead questions her capacity to be the woman he adores. Their new life together has brought unexpected challenges with James taking ownership of his nightclub Silver Dreams. Having caused enough disruption in his life, Mairead wants nothing more than to be his loving support, but trouble is never far away.



A shadow is looming with the approaching trial of a sadistic murderer against whom she must testify. When a dancer goes missing from the club, Mairead soon learns that she is not the only one with a troubled past and that others have darker secrets than hers.



While doing a little harmless investigation, Mairead suddenly finds herself the subject of interest, and realizes that she has brought more trouble for James. Once again she must make decisions that could lead to devastating consequences and destroy the happiness she fought so hard to find.



**************************************************

Review:

5 Stars...

As always I enjoyed Catherine Taylor´s book. I love how Mairead is so sassy and how she gets in trouble every time she tries to make something good. I was mad at her half of the time because of her foolishness. She over think too much and as she said in the story she´ll end up making a bad decision. She didn´t communicate with James which a totally justify. He loves her of course but every idea she has is always smashed by his negative because "she doesn't know how to behave and she always gets in trouble" and bla bla bla. I admire the strength of Mairead. She sacrificed everything she had to have the people she loves safe.

James H-O-T as always. I love him so much. A little over the top dominant but still love him. He cares too much for her but I think he was really naive with all the Adele shit. That bitch deserved a bitch slap and so much more. She tried so hard to influence James into seeing Mairead from her perspective and she almost succeeded but his love for "the spoiled little brat" is bigger than any tares. Even when he doesn´t want to admit she was right he was wrong.

The story was good. I honestly liked Mark big time at the end of The Finest Line. I thought he´ll be a good man from that day forward but I was so wrong and very very disappointed. The plot left me glued to every sentence in the book. It had the right amount of suspense, action, romance, intrigue, lust, sex, schemes and much more that it should get to the big screen.

Thank you Catherine Taylor. I thought you weren´t going to continue Mairead and James adventures and I am glad you did. I found your work in Amazon for free at the end of last year.

I´ll start A Line Drawn right away. Yeah.!


The Finest Line (The Finest Line #1) by Catherine Taylor



*** AMAZON FREEBIE***

When potential Olympic gymnast, Mairead Kavanagh wakes up in an Australian hospital after a drug and alcohol binge, her ordeal has only begun. The police are waiting to interview her over the death of her friend Joshua Mason who has plunged to his death from the balcony on which she was found. Frightened and a long way from her home in New Zealand, she has no one to turn to until the arrival of the one man who has intimidated and infatuated her more than any other.


James Vaughn has been her chauffeur and body guard for five years and the only person who has been able to subdue her. An ex soldier of the British Army, James is composed and disciplined, unlike his boss’s daughter who seeks constant excitement which sometimes can prove dangerous.



Forced together until he can get her home, the barriers of their relationship begin to break down. Mairead fears her attraction to him stems from the strange desires that she has fought to suppress.



As their relationship blooms, her happiness is short lived with the arrival of another man who knows a terrible secret about Mairead. Now she must choose between two men, one whom she loves and the other who can destroy her life.



Contains explicit sex scenes, graphic language and elements of BDSM

*********************************************

Mairead is the daughter of a politician and a New Zealand gymnast . She is introduced at the beginning as a spoiled, junkie over indulged brat since the beginning of the book. She always gets in trouble and has a "Devil may care" attitude.  


She is partying at a hotel with her friend Josh, and loses consciousness and when she wakes up she realizes she has gotten in a big trouble because her friend died ... What?! Yeap he did by falling from the balcony of hotel room they were the night before. She becomes somewhat a "suspect". She gets blackmailed and the chaos begins.

Who comes to her rescue?! James Vaughn. Since she was a teenager, her father hired an ex Army, HOT as hell guy to be her chauffeur/bodyguard. Although Mairead doesn't respect authority, he´s been the one and only capable of controlling her. 



"What are you doing James?" 

There was only silence but when he spoke his voice was eerily calm. 

"If I hear one more disgusting word come out of your mouth, I will take you over my knee, take your pants down and spank your bare bottom to the colour of a ripe cherry."

Throughout the story she realizes that the party where Josh died was being held by Mark Lewis a man from whom she indulged in  drugs and she was also video taped auctioning her virginity to him *SIGH*.  Her rebellious behavior pushes James to discipline her and fulfill his promise of getting her bottom like a ripe cherry in a very humiliating way and she finds herself being sexually aroused by this act. He of course, sends her to sleep giving her no opportunity of release LOL (That bastard knew what he was doing to her).

She has been having a crush for James since she was a teenager even when she doesn't admit it. But after her  bare ass spanking she starts showing her hidden feelings for him. 

What will happen to these two. To whom is she going to give her virginity?

This book is a must read.!!! I got it from Amazon.. I wasn't convinced because as you know most of the freebies are horrible ... well not all of them apparently. This one has everything romance, sex, love/hate relationships,  action, blackmail etc...I didn't expect this book would be so good and I have read it twice....Wowwwwww Mairead and James relationship was so cute..They are perfect for each other.. I fell in love with him instantly. I couldn't  put it down... Pfff what else is there to say..?? This one is a keeper...I´m looking forward to read more of Catherine Talylor´s books in the future. Fortunately she wrote a trilogy. I  read this book since Nov 2012. 


Enjoy!








Epilogue (The Dark Duet #3) by C.J. Roberts






BOOK 3 OF THE DARK DUET

(The final version should have 15 Chapters + an epilogue)


I’m writing this because you begged. You know how I love the begging. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well.


Who am I?


Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I was a whore in my youth, a killer since my adolescence, and a monster as a man. I am the man who kidnapped Livvie. I am the man who held her in a dark room for weeks. But, most importantly, I am the man she loves.


She loves me. It’s quite sick, isn’t it?


Of course, there’s more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I’m at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you’re reading this, I don’t need to make those justifications. You’ve already made your own.


You’re reading this because you want to know about the rest of the story. You want to know what happened that warm summer night in September of 2010, the night I met Livvie at The Paseo. It was the night my life changed all over again.


It didn't happen exactly as Livvie said. She’s been very kind to me in the retelling of our story. The truth is far more…complicated.

***********************************************************

My master of half-truths is so arrogant.!! 

"Of course, there’s more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I’m at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you’re reading this, I don’t need to make those justifications. You’ve already made your own." - Caleb

5+ Mother fucking stars.!! This was the perfect closure..

I read several reviews in which people say that the story ended in SITD and there was no need for a third book. I TOTALLY disagree. A man like Caleb can´t change his ways from one day to another. That change takes an incredible amount of time and patience. I think we (lovers of The Dark Duet Series) needed this closure for our piece of mind. After I read CITD and SITD my brain was wasted. Yes.!! I even closed SITD and start bawling like a 5 year old when Livvie spoke for the first time with Agent Reed (I hope you remember which part I´m talking about).

In this book we see Caleb as the self assured, arrogant, master of half-truths motherfucker he´s always been but still with a keen interest for Livvie. He loves her and knows that the right thing to do is let her live her life without him but he´s too selfish to let her go. 

After Livvie was left in the Mexico/US Border and spoke to the FBI, went into witness protection and changed her name and her place of residence she couldn´t put herself together. She just wasn´t ready to give him up and forget about him and by the end of SITD she had fallen for him big time. She protected him when she was questioned about him, go figure. They are made for each other. They are two of a kind. We new already they ended up together. They had a so much ups and downs in this book but fortunately they could figure everything out.

There is really no ending to their story. They are in love, the story ended after they were able to sort everything out or at least some. They´ll keep having adventures. I´m pretty sure about that and we also know what he did, who he was before falling for Livvie and we know they´ll keep running to keep Caleb safe from getting caught my the INTERPOL, FBI, CIA or whoever wants him caught. He lives one day at a time. He misses his old life. It´s easy but he wants to be a better man for her. *Sigh*

The Gatekeeper's Challenge (Gatekeeper's Trilogy #2)



Ten agonizing months have gone by since Therese faced off against her parents’ murderer at Mount Olympus, and she suspects Thanatos’s absence is meant to send her a message: go on with your life. She tries to return Pete’s affections even though her heart aches for the god of death, but when Than shows up to take her hamster’s soul, she becomes infuriated when he says he’s “been busy.” In cahoots with her new friend, who's gotten in with the Demon Druggies at school, Therese takes a drug that simulates a near-death experience, planning to tell Than off so she can have closure and move on, but things go very, very wrong.

Eventually she learns Than has been busy searching for a way to make her a god, and he’s found it, but it requires her to complete a set of impossible challenges designed by Hades, who hopes to see her fail.

Review:

I liked this book way much more than the first. After the gods make an oath in River Styx not to make Therese a God because she is not worthy of Thanatos after she failed to kill the man who murdered her parents, she is left alone. She keeps having dreams of Than but she hasn´t really seen him in ten long months. 

I understand why Than is in love with her but not the other way around. Yes, he is H-O-T, she met him at the skirts of the underworld when she followed her parents after the accident, and kissed him because he was very lovely, but we never really know what does she sees in him besides being gorgeous, the God of death and kind to her. There were parts that made me laugh by the wit of them both. 

I was seriously glued to my kindle when reading the five challenges. She had to [ deliver a black box to Persephone without opening it, take an apple from Hera´s garden that is guarded by a a one-hundred headed snake and take it to Mount Olympus, walk through the labyrinth and pass the Minotaur, defeat the Hydra and finally go to the underworld and apologise to Vicky and go back to the living world WITHOUT LOOKING BACK...

She almost passed with honors each and one of the challenges and guess which one did she failed?! She was soooo Soooo easily tricked and that is something I didn´t like at all and in my opinion the Furies were extra information we didn´t have to read.. She was already calling for Vicky, they didn´t have to "force"/"scare" her to do it. Seriously?! I think the series could end with this one but I´ll give the benefit of the doubt and read the third installment why?! Because I want my HEA without Than suffering year by year  at the hands of the maenads.

How are you going to pull that off Mrs. Pohler?!

"May I pet him?" - I was glad not to see this very often in the story. There were parts I thought I saw a glimpse of a more mature Therese.

"Stormy" - Something about that name makes me feel bile in the throat. She is 16 and names a foal Stormy..(Maybe I prefer strong names)

Again I think Therese should have been older, there is strong content in this one.. [ Burning alive to become a God, teenagers getting drugged to die for few minutes and get near death experiences to see their loved ones (How to get drugged 101) and we all know Jen is being molested by her father.

Aside from the things I didn´t like, I read this book in a day, It´s good indeed. This woman knows her way through Greek Mythology. Maybe she is a Historian ... hmmm

The Gatekeeper´s Sons by Eva Pohler

Gatekeeper´s Triology #1


Fifteen-year-old Therese watches her parents die. While in a coma, she meets the twin sons of Hades—Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death. She thinks she's manipulating a dream, not kissing the god of death and totally rocking his world. 

Than makes a deal with Hades and goes as a mortal to the Upperworld to try and win Therese's heart, but not all the gods are happy. Some give her gifts. Others try to kill her. 

The deal requires Therese to avenge the death of her parents. With the help of Than’s fierce and exotic sisters, the Furies, she finds herself in an arena face to face with the murderer, and only one will survive.


Review:

Tragedy happens in Therese´s life after she watches her parents die.. While she´s in a coma she dreams with a hot guy called Hypnos (She doesn´t know he´s the Greek God of sleep). She´s been known to be a lucid dreamer always taking control of her surroundings so she summons her parents and see that they are fine and "alive". Below her she watches as a raft with people in it. She flies to the edge of the Underworld where she sees that her parents are in the raft with a man. She calls after them and she almost faints. Thanatos holds her and still thinking she´s controlling one of her dreams she kisses Than. 

Having a God falling for you is not a wish of every girl...specially if he´s the God of Death. But this one is a Greek God Hot as Hell .!! called Thanatos.

A lot of twists and turns happen in this book that make you stay glued to your computer/Kindle as long as your eyelids allow you to stay awake LOL. After six pages and I was hooked and crying in my desk AT WORK.!! ;)

Thanatos wants to make her his queen of the Death so he makes a deal with his father Hares to make her a God. Hares accepts but with one condition. She has to avenge her parents by killing the man who orchestrated their deaths. Thanatos goes to the living world to try to win her heart.


I don´t want to give anything away about this book. You must read it to enjoy the fantasy world Eve has given us in this Triology. Even though I loved the plot, the love, the friendship, the twists and turns there was something I didn´t like about it that was the "sex" talk. I think this book should have been directed to a more mature audience giving Therese an older age and a less immature personality.

Therese personality is of a fifteen year old girl along with teenage problems. She was kind of childish and naive sometimes and I feel like her love for animals was exaggerated, like if we were being forced as readers to like the character for her compassion and all the love she had for the animals and living things in general and asking for permission to pet them. I thought that was slightly ridiculous. 

****BEWARE OF SPOILERS*****

Even though non of the characters had sex there is reference to rape/force. 

"Hera came by, too, and left a nightgown for you to wear. She said it will protect you from any God wishing to force his way on you tonight." or "I wonder if she´s a virgin. I can´t wait to pinch her pretty flesh."    


Usually when reading YA/Teen romances we know the main characters have certain friction and we know what their teen hormones want them to do but all that happens is some cuddling and a kiss.     
THAT´S IT.!! 

From my perspective Therese didn't grow much and she was conformed if she died or became the Queen of Death which makes no sense to me because she "loves" living things too. How someone who respects life would chose to avenge hes parents by taking the life of the one responsible of their deaths and not backing off? What made Therese think she could pull that off?


I repeat it again... I loved the story, the character but I felt that Therese should have been older with a less naive  or with  a different approach in her personality.

Can´t wait to see how this all ends in The Gatekeeper´s Challenge ( Gatekeeper´s Triology #2). I was torn apart when Thanatos had to let her go because the Gods wanted to keep her away from Death.... *Sigh* * weeping like a baby**

Entwined with You (Crossfire #3)
June 4th 2013



The final installment of the Crossfire Triology. 

From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something I couldn’t resist. I saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside–so much like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat.

No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I’d been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become.

Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession…    ***  I can´t wait for this one
