He's amazingly wealthy, sinfully gorgeous, and can bring her to heights of pleasure she's never before known. For Livy, there's no turning back. She's determined to be the light in Miller Hart's dark world. Yet this new life comes with a steep price...

Miller knows that the power he possesses hasn't come without sacrifices-but he won't let Livy be one of them. Though he wants nothing more than to have her in every way, his first duty is to protect her at all costs...from his sins, his enemies, and especially himself.

But as their insatiable affair intensifies, the two attract the attention of an obsessive-and dangerous-third party. Discovering new revelations about Miller that rock her to the core, Livy will have to decide whether he's ruined beyond repair. And he must face his fear that in order to save her, he may have to lose her after all...


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I have not yet embarked on This Man series with Mr Jesse Ward. The only reason being my local seaside library doesn’t stock it.

WHAT THE FARK!!

I KNOW!!!

But they do stock One Night series.

I do know Jesse Ward is amazing and everything... I am getting there. I have steered clear of reading anything about Jesse although I did see somebody call him all kinds of crazy. So I am intrigued!

Now Miller.

Miller.

Miller.

I gotta be honest here and say I wasn’t feeling this second book as much as the first.

I did feel like for a greater part of the story we were more reading feelings and pushing away...no come back....pushing away, repeat and rinse.

It did take me a lot longer than normal to get through this book as I felt a little slowed down by all these goings on.

BUT THEN!!!

Da da daaaaaaaa!!!

That was supposed to be sinister music.

I did say supposed to be.

Things nearing the end of this installment got a little tense and...

MILLER GET IN THAT GOD DAMN ELEVATOR!!...

And then...

MILLER GET OUT OF THAT GOD DAMN ELEVATOR!!

If I was William I would have given him a great big shove to get him inside.

Truly. My heart couldn’t take the sweating and the anguish.

There were a lot of tears flowing in this book from the characters, mainly Olivia.

I did enjoy this installment, but it was much slower for me, personally.

Sophia needs to get her arse kicked. Spoiled brat. But she did play the part very well.

Any fans of Sophia??

No I didn’t think so.

I gave this installment 4.25 stars in the end as it is Miller and he is complicated and quirky and full of dark things even though Livvy makes them lighter.

She is saving him from himself and he does have a bad situation at hand.

“I’ve never been fascinated before. I’ve never given all of me before. You get all of me. Every fucked-up little piece. And I pray every second of every day that you’ll never give up on me, even if I do.” He pushes his lips gently to mine and leaves them lingering for what seems like for ever, injecting me with strength, intensifying my love. “ Keep me in this beautiful light place with you.” He releases me and hits me with pleasing eyes. “ Don’t let me fall back into darkness, I beg you.”



Olivia is very forgiving and she is putting up with...well you know if you have read this book and that would truly be difficult.

I adore William, he is mysterious and kinda the Knight in Shining armor in his own way when these two are falling to pieces a bit.

Nan’s a good cook and I do like George.

There is a lot of sex in this book.

So there you go.

I am looking forward to Unveiled and all this complicated shite being sorted out.
