The sizzling conclusion of the Struck by Lightning trilogy! The
story that began with the RT Award-winning Slow
Surrender finally brings us
all satisfaction. James has finally pushed Karina beyond her limit–not her
limit for kinky sex play, but for his extreme secrecy. She has had enough and
breaks things off.
But James won’t give up on Karina and he will do whatever it
takes to get her back. He’s ready to share his deepest, darkest secrets, but is
Karina ready to hear them? When James is blackmailed by an unscrupulous music
industry executive, he must give in to unreasonable demands or risk exposure of
his and Karina’s secret sex life… a sex life that keeps getting hotter!
Will Karina and James’s love be strong enough to withstand the
many obstacles being thrown their way?
Book Excerpt:
I considered. “You at least earned the chance to tell me what I
don’t know.”
He took my hand in his, like he had so many times before. This time
he kissed my fingertips, his eyes closing as he did. “I have a lot to tell you.
More than any single interrogation might reveal.”
I squeezed his hand. “I shouldn’t have to interrogate you for the
answers.”
He sucked in a breath. “No. Of course you shouldn’t. There’s so
much I need to tell you if you’re really going to get to know me.” He reached
up and traced the curve of my cheek with his fingertip. “Yet I feel like you
know me better than anyone.”
“I do know you,” I said. “I just don’t know the facts
about you.”
His gaze shied away from mine. “Many of the facts are sordid.”

My Review:
This is adult erotica novel, and for adults only. I liked that the characters were trying to make it work, and they agreed to be honest. Lying and omitting the truth are two different things, however omitting the truth can be seen as a lie. Karina loved James and was willing to give up certain things in her life (privacy, control, etc) and James was ready to show her new things. This is the second book in the series and the first book introduces Lord Lightening. I would have liked to have read how Karina first met Lord Lightening, and not have felt like I was missing an important event in their lives. Karina's mother said "There is a big difference between wanting a man, and needing a man". That seemed to be the main theme of this book. Yes, Karina wanted James, but did she need hi, and all his baggage? Was it worth her heart? What if she got hurt again? Will she ever get him to open up and answer her questions? The ending was interesting, and I would love to see what happens next. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
