 Reflected in You: A Crossfire Novel
 
The hotly anticipated second book of the Crossfire Trilogy continues the sensual saga of Eva and Gideon that began inBared to You…the New York Times bestselling novel of “EROTIC ROMANCE THAT SHOULD NOT BE MISSED” (Romance Novel News). 

Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction… my every desire… mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful… except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession…

This was such a read. In romance and television there are nasty people and then there are total bitches. Kiki was Megan’s thorn. What an evil girl! Megan started out at Julliard with a promise and then she got injured. Next phase starts with her major shifting to television and a dream for a dance show where contestants live together. Viola there is the plot, drama and bitchiness. When the head of security as former war hero Sam gets under Megan’s skin the sparks fly.

As Meg and Sam are just starting to open up to each other “the curse” seems to have grown into everyone’s imagination. Things happen and Meg convinces herself that there is a curse and is scared that she will lose what is left of her dream. Sam finally gets his assistant Josh to help out and steer KiKi out of their path in order to get Meg to open up to him.

Loved this for the steam and of course the drama. I think there are 2 more books to follow.

South of Bixby Bridge

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.
