Blurb
I wasn’t given a choice. Not when I did my first line of cocaine. Not when I became a single mother. But I changed, and every decision I’ve made was to protect myself and my son from my weaknesses—and my past.
Until Jude came along and made me question everything, even my own secrets.
The sins I carry with me can never be discovered. Life handed me broken bits of people and left me to construct my own world, and it’s too fragile to take a chance on Jude Mercer.
We write our own stories.
We build our own prisons.
We weave our own lies.
We commit the sins that bind us.
REVIEW
5 Stars!!
This was my first read by Geneva Lee. Her characters are so well developed and come with baggage. Even though this story is about addiction, I feel that even those that have not dealt with this sort of problem can totally relate to the characters in this story. The passion to do what is right and leave that addiction behind can be related to so many things and not just drugs and alcohol.
When we meet Faith, she is a young, single mom that is still going to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Faith is living with her best friend Aimee and also works with her. Aimee is a very good support system for Faith and she encourages Faith to get out and meet people again. Aimee is the one that will watch Max, Faith's 4 year old, deaf son when she goes out once in awhile. When Faith sees Jude at one of her NA meetings, she hates him instantly, or does she really?
Jude is very persistent with Faith and eventually breaks down some of her walls that she has built to protect Max and herself. Jude immediately hits it off with Max and recognizes his disability. Faith appreciates this in Jude and that seems to break even more of the walls for Jude. Jude automatically kicks into help mode one night when Max is sick and Faith has no idea how she got so lucky with him.
Faith's parents dies when they were young so her grandmother is all she has left and she is in a home where she can be taken care of. One night when Faith is with Jude and receives a call about her grandmother going on a rant, she knows that it is serious and she has to go to her. When Faith gets there, her whole world changes by what she finds. I so do not want to give any of this book away because the way that Geneva Lee has written it is brilliant and you need to discover all the little secrets on your own while reading this story. Such a great story too!!
I loved this story and the way that Jude felt like it was his place to take care of Faith and Max. All of these characters are lovable in their own way and I felt like I could totally relate to them as if they were my best friends and I was reading their life story. I am definitely a fan of Geneva Lee now and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us as readers!!
*Review by Melanie H
EXCERPT
“Maybe he was already as tightly wound as me, but I can’t help but squirm under his possessive stare. I ignite that ferocity. I’m the storm that unsettles the peaceful blue pools of his irises. And realizing that vanquishes my fear. Because I’ve undone this man.”
“I want to say something but my mouth is empty. Before I can find words his lips find mine instead. He crashes against me, and I’m powerless against his force. He’s washing me out into the unknown and I don’t care if I drown.
My body shapes to his as his hand slides under my ass, lifting me from my feet. I coil around him, instinctively pressing the core of my want against his groin. A low growl vibrates through him and his arms bind me closer.
I want as much of him as he’ll give me. It’s the only need I’m capable of processing and I open to him, allowing his tongue to stroke across my teeth and then massage over mine. It’s an invitation and I RSVP by tangling my fingers into his hair. I grip it tightly, desperate to possess him as fully as he has me.”
When he backs into the kitchen table, we both spring into action, unbuttoning and unbuckling as quickly as our impatient fingers allow. Wiggling off my jeans, I return my attention to his body. I trail my palm over the swirling black ink and then I lunge forward and sink my teeth into his skin.
“Christ, Sunshine,” he grunts, but before I can register it as a complaint, he’s pushed me flat against the table and unsnapped my bra. I move to slide it off and my wrist knocks over a box of crayons.
Our eyes lock as they scatter to the floor and before I can raise the white flag, I’m back in his arms. Jude kicks open the door leading to the garage.
“I’ll fix it later,” he promises, sweeping me out the door. Twirling me around, he barricades it with our bodies. “Hold on.”
“I wrap my arms around his shoulders and cling to him as he frees his dick. I feel its heat prod against my belly. His whiskers scratch against my cheek as his mouth slants toward my neck. “I can’t be patient,” he warns me.
“Don’t be,” I beg.
He doesn’t need coaxing. His hand slips between my thighs and shoves my panties to the side. My bare back smacks against the wood as he thrusts into me. Jude’s chest smashes against my breasts as his weight overwhelms me. I lose myself to the rhythm. To the crash and the ebb. There is only each stroke, and the glorious, violent inevitability of being abandoned and filled.”
