BLURB
Kyle James cashed in my V card and then disappeared like I was the finishing act in a magic show.
I vowed to hate my best friend, turn the longing and secret obsession with him into toxic hate and maybe a poorly chosen tattoo.
But as the years passed, I let go of any notions I'd ever see him again...until he sauntered on campus my senior year as a new transfer student.
All of Rake Forge was obsessed with his inked skin and that darkness that seemed to seep out of every methodical step he took.
I wasn't. I knew the boy underneath, and while I wanted to know where he'd been...I would never ask.
Until my dad needed a favor. His team required a way in with my ex-best friend and his contacts.
I knew Kyle would see through it...but I went anyway.
Suddenly, my world, made of black and white was bleeding color...and he was at the center, daring me to trust him.
My heart, blind and foolish chose to not only trust but to love him too.
I really should have known better.
I was merely a way in for my father, and for the man, I loved...I was just a way out.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This series started off as a college/sports romance and has turned into a mafia romance along the way. Each book is darker, grittier and sexier than the last and, honestly, they're all fantastic!
"I knew this girl - her scar tissue had my name on it. She was mine; she always would be. No matter where she went or what she did, she belonged to me."
Rylie Jackson and Kyle James have been friends since they were seven. When they were teenagers, they agreed to be each other's firsts. One summer night when they are both eighteen, Kyle thoroughly owns her body, heart and soul, but then disappears out of her life for three long years. When he reappears, he's no longer the best friend she knew.
"You think you can be here and be apart from me? We share the same shadow, the same soul - you're in me, and I'm in you."
God, this story was something else! The previous story about Taylor and Juan introduced us into the mafia world of Rake Forge, and to Kyle and Riley. Their story was heartbreaking, passionate and edgy. Kyle had been on a certain trajectory since he was a kid and under the aegis of his shady uncle. He was inexorably drawn into the underworld and once he'd committed himself irrevocably, he had no choice but to run to protect the people he loved - in particular, Rylie. She was completely baffled by his disappearance and felt completely abandoned. My heart hurt for her emotional wounds. When he came back into her life, there was so much unsaid between them for a long time, which lead to plenty of friction, but the sizzle between them was palpable. They were two sides of the same coin. Even with the time apart, they knew each other inside out. Kyle was thrillingly possessive and sexually raw with her. I felt that he showed her his true feelings without ever having to say them. I loved that he was this mysterious, dangerous, tough guy, but he was also the sweet, funny friend of her childhood hidden beneath, who dreamt of a simpler life. I felt for Rylie's struggles as she had very few people to turn to, and her isolation. She had courage, strength and sass in spades, which masked a deep vulnerability. This was a brilliant read!
