*~* Synopsis *~*
Blake:
I am a brother
I am a police detective
I am a contract killer
I don’t want to love
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want … EMPATHY.
They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life.
I didn’t want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface.
Melody:
I was a daughter
I was a student
I was a victim
Did I have his love?
Did I make him feel?
Did I have his empathy?
When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever.
*~* My Review *~*
Melody is your modest rich girl. She doesn't flaunt her money or act like her parents are rich at all. I loved her character because through it all she was loving, understanding, smart, and forgiving.
Ryan to me was your dark, sexy, demanding dom. That being said my perception of him changed a lot throughout the book. He was a strong character and no matter what he was always there when Melody needed him.
Blake is a sexy alpha that is damaged. That really explains it all but I guess more is better. Lol I really enjoyed Blake's character because he's a bad boy trying to be good. He fights with his inner demons a lot and it really makes him an amazing character.
This book will hook you within two pages. I can not wait to read more by Ker Dukey. Five stars have been granted :)
