This was some serious reading!!! The first thing I can say is that this is nothing like 50 shades. This is not a bdsm book. The main character I would say is Trevor Roberts. He is very troubled after he looses everything. You need to read it to understand the thought process of an alcoholic and drug addict. He is down and out and now in rehab. He knows when he gets out that his ex Stephanie may not be there. He tried reaching out to her and she never spoke to him. Her mom Barbara is a saint and tries so hard to help him. She later admits to him that she always wanted a son and that son should have been him.

So he is exhausting leads for a job and then when he meets Paul and feels like he will finally make it. Paul is willing to take Trevor on and has a venture capital business that is thriving.

Not long into the employment with Paul does Trevor meet Tara, Paul’s wife. Of course he is captivated and dreams of her. They lead him through a dark world and not long into his employ is Trevor drinking and doing drugs. This guy pops pills, dose coke and drinks worse than he did before.

As the pieces come together he sees the light and lets himself realize that Paul is a running a scam. The rest is really pretty scary, really deep and I am not going to give a spoiler.

In the end Trevor comes to grips with personal demons, his alcoholic Dad and the death of his Mom from cancer. Stephanie’s mother Barbara is there for him again and so is his hope.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though all the drugs scared me.

Got this and it was recommended by my friend Shelly @ http://diveunderthecover.blogspot.com

So many reasons to love this book. First of all the thought of therapy used and appreciated is phenomenal! It is usually not entered into so willingly so for that I applaud the author. I especially liked the way that Eva explained Dr Peterson and how his therapy and the set up was a “safe place”. She goes on to explain how this huge place is used to treat and to hang out. That therapy is not over after the session, it is constant support. Without giving a spoiler, it was indeed a safe place for Eva.

My next reason is the sub-characters. I did love Cary and their friendship. I really thought that Eva has just one person, Cary, to trust and confide. He had a similar issue to Eva’s and they both together embraced therapy and healing. I was deeply in love with Cary until his messed up freaky party. I will forgive him eventually.

The next is the complex families. We know Eva and her Mother are equally in need of therapy for the same sort of reasons. How she goes about trying to control her daughter is laughable. She has resources and when she does things like cell phone tracking she doesn’t hide her stalker tendencies. So yeah I loved her too. Step Dad was aces in my book too. Mr Stanton was just Eva’s only protector before Gideon. Eva never confided in her real father what she experienced, so I think she had a certain bond with her Step Dad. Eva’s real dad is a cop so maybe with the available weapons, she should keep her secret!

Before the big deal I will say I loved Scott, Gideon’s assistant and Mark Eva’s boss. Both of those characters added a light side to an otherwise dark story. There was a point when Scott tells Eva how he enjoyed seeing his boss smile and tells her he never saw him so happy. That was special to me. Mark was so happy to get Eva as an assistant and was not even a little reluctant to have a newbie assist him on his first big presentation. I liked how he showed a weakness right away by telling her that he would figure it out as they went along. Not too many bosses would admit they never had an assistant and show weakness the way he did. Mostly they would fake being a leader. He looked at her as though she was his equal. So big smooches Scott and Mark.

Now the deep dark, handsome, amazing, intelligent, and captivating Gideon Cross. Where do I begin? Well he is all that! When he finally opens up to Eva and makes a few big mistakes he tells her right away that he will not let her go. Just straight out and right to the point, he let her know that SHE was his weakness. I hope I am not alone in my perception of that one. But I loved the way that he made no secret about his wanting to posses her. It had little to do with wanting to top her too. He never felt like that with anyone and he never let anyone into his home, life, and business before. This book did not get into the depths of Gideon s past, but I bet it will be shocking. Also, loved him a little more cause he didn’t really hesitate and said he would go to see Dr. Peterson. Bravo Gideon you got extra credit. I hope I can show him how pleased I am (delusional me?? nah)

The ending had me anticipating the next book. I think there are 3 scheduled for this series. Now I must add Gideon to my book boyfriend list and wait for the next book.

When I went to Good Reads I found 3 yes!! 3 different covers and each one is hotter than the other WOW

Let me first say I love Keatyn and Cush! More than them I loved Abby and Tommy and the total non traditional household they have. Surprisingly Keatyn is very in control even though she has too much freedom. I thought Sander was an ass I would have tossed him to the curb. I loved that reveal though, very good stuff there. Brooklyn was all mine. He was what I think Tommy would have been had he not met Abby. Just free and chill with no expectations and no social suicide nonsense. I hated V and Ri too and I felt bad for Keatyn so many times cause those girls were bad. Mandy on her knees! That got me in a rage!! Aside from that the way V handled that ordeal was classic and she was Oscar worthy!!

It was a really fun read. I enjoyed the Vincent saga too! I thought she was going to fall for him for a little while. The drama she brought on was intense.

What I wanted was for Cush to be in the ending. I wanted her to get behind the safety of the electric fence and see Cush who of course tells her he loves her and that Garrett and James were scared for his safety too. I really wanted that. Can I get a reprint, rewrite or a chapter in the next book that tells me he is ther? Please??? I know this is going to be a great series but please gimme my Cush!! Single pringle ready to mingle

“Damn Disney, and all their happily-ever-after, unrealistic, bullshit stories.” ~ Keatyn 

“You’re single. I’m single. Let’s mingle.” ~ Cush 

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” ~ Brooklyn.

This is so interesting. I am fascinated with the paparazzi and photographers! Not to even mention the stalkers. I feel bad for half of Hollywood right about now. (68% done)
