Synopsis


She’s the light from his past.



He’s the one her heart has always longed for. 

Trained by the best, Christopher Walker has fought hard for his country and even harder to forget the only girl he’s ever loved. He spent countless nights submerged in death and destruction only to find himself clinging to the memories of her when the darkness crept in. 

When her life is threatened, Christopher will stop at nothing to protect her. Even if it means having to confront his past.

Alissa Malone never thought she would find herself face-to-face again with the only boy she’s ever loved. But she soon realizes Christopher is not the same man he once was. 

His touch is still electrifying—his voice still earth shattering. But there’s a darkness about him that wasn’t there before. A pain he harbors so deep that she can feel it all the way to her soul. 

One fateful moment destroyed his very existence, and only one person will be able to make him realize that what he considers an act of dishonor was truly an act of courage.

***

This is Book Four in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It is not necessary to read all of the other books in the series. However, I do highly recommend that you at least read Resisting Temptation, the third book in the Men of Honor series, since this is where these Characters story began.



Review - 5 Stars!

With death comes peace, but pain is the cost of living.  Peace lives in everything we hold dear.  And true love always prevails.  Right?

This book stoled my heart and I can't even form words for how this made me feel.  It's been a few days and this story is still stuck in my head, my heart and my soul.  KC Lynn has poured her whole being into this story and you feel it from page one.  I honestly feel that I will be rambling and making myself look like an idiot, but it's worth it.  This book was everything I could ever want in a story.  KC Lynn's words are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.  Ok so bear with me...please

We first meet the beautiful damaged fifteen year old Christopher in Resisting Temptation.  I loved him then and just knew there was a story begging to come out of him.  Christopher went through so much in his young years you couldn't help but for fall him and Ruthie.  I just wanted to hold them both and tell them I loved them!  Gah I'm tearing up just thinking about them in that story.  Fast forward to adult Christopher and he's going through his own torment again.  He's in hell, he feels he's a monster and everything in his life or path he will destroy.  
Within the first 14% of the book I was sobbing.  Like full out ugly, snot nose sobbing.  I can't go into details because I don't want to spoil this for anyone.  There are so many scenes that will gut you, that will rip your heart out and shred it.  

"Even heroes have the right to bleed"

There is a scene between Christopher and Cade that every time I think about it, I burst into tears.  Both of these two understand each other in ways no one else would.  You could feel the hopelessness and torment that Christopher was feeling.  He feels that he there will never be any redemption for him.  That he's too broken and he deserves the hell he's in.  Three words and that was it...This scene DESTROYED me!  

Alissa I can't even tell you how much I love this girl.  I knew that when we met her back in Resisting Temptation that she was the perfect match to Christopher.  She has a heart of gold and a beautiful soul.  This girl is so strong and her love for Christopher unwavering.  She would love him forever and would forever stand by his side.  See...perfect!  

I had a major headache when I finished this...why because I swear I cried almost the whole book.  I went through a whole box of Kleenex.  I had to keep stopping because I swear my heart was breaking.  I couldn't do it all at once.  I felt like I was having a panic attack from all the crying I was doing and for all the despair I was feeling.  My world was turned upside down.  If you don't feel something from reading this, you don't have a heart.  Sorry but that's the truth.   You will laugh, you will swoon hard.  Ladies...I'm serious...swoon hard!  

Christopher and Alissa are soul mates that have that forever feeling.  The connection is genuine, magnetic and undeniable.  There are some major HOT scenes between them that will leave you tingling.  But there are also some major heart stopping moments.  Alissa is the one who showed so much strength when it came to their love.  She showed Christopher that no matter what, she wasn't given up on him.  She wasn't going to back down without a fight again!  
"Don't come too close."
"Why?"
"Because I'll end up dragging you into hell with me."
"You don't need to drag me.  I'll follow you.  I'll always follow you."

I have read every book by KC Lynn and she has never let me down.  She deserves more than 5 stars for this.  This book is EVERYTHING!  Faith, Ruthie, Cade, Mia....these Walkers own my heart too!  

She's my anchor, my light
My salvation in the night
My angel, my peace
The best part of me

KC Lynn I swear I highlighted half of this book.  So many words touched my heart.  You brought it girl!  You brought it!  You should be proud of this story because this one right here is the best one.  This is my top read for the year and honestly my life.  This book hit my kindle at the right time in my life, It gave me the light I needed.  I can't even tell you...As I said above this book was everything and more!  I can give you Stunning, spellbinding, monumental and unforgettable all to describe it, but it just doesn't seem to be enough.  All I can say is Thank You!  
5 Epic Stars!!





Excerpt

One minute I’m drumming to a beat I could never play on my own then the next I’m flipped around to face him, his fingers digging into my hips possessively. I gasp, my breath racing as I stare back at him.

Something passes between us.

A decision.

A choice.

No more fighting this.

“Fuck complicated.” His earlier words fall past his lips then our mouths become one.

The connection slams into me, sending my heart reeling. Our tongues duel in a beautiful battle, the sound of our passion filling the air as our past ignites.

A growl erupts from him, vibrating against my lips. “You taste as good as I remember.”

I want to tell him the same thing but can’t. All I can think about is his mouth never leaving mine, not even for a second, or it might kill me.

At this moment, I’m not even sure how I survived so long without it—without him.

He slides the stool closer to the drum set before his hand moves between us and presses on my chest. I seize the opportunity to suck in air and let him guide me to my back, my shoulders resting against the musical cylinders.

His hands move to mine and it’s then I realize I still have the drumsticks gripped tightly in my fists. With a sexy smirk, he pries them both from me, throwing one on the floor but keeps hold of the other.

His dark eyes never sever from mine as he unbuttons the shirt I’m wearing, exposing me to his stare. The cool air whispers over my heated flesh, my nipples straining for his touch.

                “So fucking pretty.” The wild lust in his eyes triggers an intense desire in me.

                 I bite my lip to keep from moaning but all silent caution is thrown out the window the moment he takes the stick and brushes the tip of it over one aching bud.

                Another gasp parts my lips, a fiery whimper purging from me at the cool, hard feel. My back arches, the small touch igniting an inferno in my body.

                “Remember the things I used to do to your body, Alissa? How wet you would get when you’d hear me sing?” he murmurs, dragging the smooth wood down my tummy. “You’d beg me to take your ache away. Remember?”

                “Yes. Do you?” I ask. I’m dying to know. Has he thought of me as much as I have him?

                “Yeah, baby. There isn’t a moment of our time together that I’ve ever forgotten.”

                His admission has my throat burning and heart aching. Aching at the loss of him, of what we could have had.

                What we did have.

                “The good,” he whispers. “The bad.” He slips the stick in my panties. “And the fucking beautiful.”

                “Oh, god, Christopher.” His name spills past my lips on a cry of pleasure as he glides the stick through my wet flesh, slowly working it against my swollen clit.

                He plays my body like he plays every instrument. With skilled perfection and grace. Keeping his momentum, he leans down just enough to suck a hard nipple into his mouth. His teeth graze it with a pressure that borders on a beautiful pain and it’s enough to send me over the edge.

                Blissful cries rip from my throat as I’m swept up into an intense storm of pleasure.

                “Good girl, scream for me, Alissa. Let me have your pleasure because next it’s going to be my cock working this hot little pussy.”
