Perfection slipped through Caroline Spencer’s fingers. One moment she had it all, and then it was gone. All she has left are her memories, her pain, and her close friends.
And Mason Ryan was not part of her plan–wasn’t even on her radar. After all, he was her husband’s best friend. But now that her husband is gone, he’s the only person who understands her, feels what she feels, and knows her inside and out.
Together, they try to rearrange the shattered pieces of their pain.
Sharing their grief pulls them closer together–closer than either of them want to admit and Mason won’t allow himself to fall for his best friend’s widow. Ultimately, he’s holding the one secret that will destroy Caroline–a secret he cannot even bear himself.
Will they find a way to refresh their lives when the pain of the past won’t dissolve?
“What?” I burst out laughing.
“Now listen to me. Sex and Mason are like desserts. There are many sides of Mason and sex consists of different positions all of this like dessert. You see a dessert case and there’s everything from fruit tarts to red velvet cake to brownies.”
“I’m getting hungry now, thanks.”
“Oh shut up,” Tonya laughs and continues with her ridiculous explanation. “These two things go hand in hand. So you can take your time and look at these yummy desserts the way you look at Mason and sex and then when you’re ready you’ll pick the best most delicious dessert and boom, you and Mason will be having boom boom time.”
“I can’t even with you.” I laugh and wipe my tears from laughing so hard. “You’re too much.”

SPOILER
FREE – well I will try. But I could quote the shite out of this book it
was that bloody brilliant. I highlighted so much. Thinking oh that is
good and oh I can use that alas I can’t or maybe I will. Read on to find
out.
I’d burn this whole cesspool of a city to the ground until I’d exacted revenge on all of them. Every. Single. Fucking. One.
To
the heroine – right along with you there sweetheart. Where is my
Samurai sword and oh give me a gun and we’ll do a lot of damage.
But then…..
Yes this is another damn dear letter J
Dear Elisabeth,
May I call you Elisabeth? Yes/No? Well I’m going to anyway. To answer your question.
Was it possible to write about an inherently good person doing bad things and have readers root for her?
Yes
Elisabeth you did. Every step of the way I was rooting for the heroine.
I’m still rooting for her now. And to be honest I think that this is
one heroine that I won’t forget this year. On top of that you made me
like Marco, how dare you! After what happened in the first book how
could you take away the hate I had for him. I needed him to pay for
Brandi more than anyone else. My world was flipped upside down.
Your very irritated fan Kate.
I
was also so nervous to start this book. With questions of will I like
this book? Will it be on par with the first one? Can it be topped? What
if I’m devastated with the outcome and I can’t give it the stars that
they deserve. But my fears were taken from me.
4.5 ‘Anger and frustration. Hurt and sorrow. Love and loss’ Stars
This book picks up exactly where the first one stopped.
“Emily
I whispered. Recognition lit his eyes, swallowed swiftly by
gratification. He knew the significance of what I’d given him. “My real
name is Emily Ross.”
The unimaginable has happened, worlds
have broken down only to collide at a velocity that neither MC ever saw
coming. It comes down to trust and in the end trusting the wrong people.
It was then that comprehension dawned. The expression on her face…it wasn’t just the pain […] It was betrayal.
For the love of Marco Valenti I didn’t see that coming. Marco, Marco, Marco what have you gotten yourself into?
Both
characters felt betrayal, the lies, the anger the despair the
isolation. It’s true what they say that there is a fine line between
love and hate.
“You don’t hate me, Tesoro. You hate the fact that you still want me, and I’m going to prove it to you.”
I’d
let her know that she was mine regardless of who she fucked. […….] She
wouldn’t be able to sleep with another man without finding them lacking.
And I was on that journey with them every step of the way. What they felt I felt.
Marco
becomes a different man with more edge and hardness to him but those
kind of things shape a person. We see a visible and believable change in
him.
The metamorphis from man to monster occurred in that precise moment.
They
each change through what they experienced. Marco for the better in my
opinion but Emily? Not so much. Revenge and vengeance consume them both
and they each deal with it differently.
“Careful, cara. The revenge you seek may very well be your destruction.”
But at the same time the unwanted. Reality kicks in. Blame is laid at the feet of others or one’s self.
It would be a fair trade for my failure to protect […….] from the wolf with a lover’s tongue.
They deal with losing what they lost and figuring out how they could get it back
For one brief moment, I’d known true happiness…. Even if it had been a lie.
All I wanted was for this woman to love me as she had for a brief moment in time.
Marco did anything to earn back what he had but lost.
There
was only one person’s forgiveness I longed for, and I wasn’t sure I’d
ever manage to get it. Some things just weren’t worthy of the
forgiveness.
But with all Emily’s feelings impacting him he never gave up and he was strong and always knew to say the right thing.
“Amore mio, some rocks turn to dust under pressure. You have transformed into a diamond.”
There
are so many emotions running through me right now that it is hard to
process them all at once. You have to read the first book to enjoy this
one. Let me just get one thing straight though. This book is
outstanding. I felt as if I read a completely different book to the
first one. Ms. Grace is one talented cookie. It is rare that with a two
part book you can get so many different facets at times I felt as if it
was written by someone else that is how good she is.
I had
one seed left that I was keeping close to me truly with the hope of what
I wanted to be true. At the worst of times Ms. Grace managed to coax a
smile out of me.
And then the story twists and turns again. WTF? I didn’t see that coming.
My
heart cracked a bit because she was on a downward spiral and some of
the things that she did. They each lash out at one another and say some
truly horrible things.
With space and time
and slowly acquainting one another again. With trust built etc. HE
proved his worth. Emily not as much as Marco but she did as well.
“I love you Marco Valenti. Truth is, I never stopped. And I never will.”
I
realised that sometimes dreams don’t come in the form you thought they
would. It doesn’t make them any less amazing. The universe just knew
what you needed better than you did.
The End

Please NOTE: The Sentinel Demon books don’t stand alone well.
Although each Sentinel gets a HEA in their book, there is so much of the
overlying story arch that would be missed if you haven’t read the other
three books.
Kristoff Agares, King of the Sentinels, is trapped in the realm of
the Evils, so close to death. unstable and powerless from the demon’s
physical and mental torture that he’s barely hanging onto his sanity.
Until he gets a telepathic message from a mystery woman who makes him want to survive, no matter what it takes.
After being rescued by an elite group of Sentinels, Kristoff can’t
ignore his powerful longing to claim his mate, who also happens to be
his savior’s voice in the demon realm. His chosen one was captured as a
child, and had been a captive of the Evils for over two centuries,
until the Sentinels set her free.
With the World in chaos, and the balance tipping almost irrevocably
in the Evils favor, the last thing Kristoff thinks he needs is a
radiant, a human female mate who will lighten his soul. Or so he
thinks…
As Kristoff fights an internal battle, a war between his wants and
what’s good for his mate, he knows he has to make some difficult
choices. Will he be able to tell his mate about his past? And if he
does, will his radiant be willing to accept him after she learns the
whole truth?
Find out in this last title, A Dangerous Demon King!!!
The Sentinel Demon series:
A Dangerous Bargain
A Dangerous Hunger
A Dangerous Fury
A Dangerous Demon King
18+ only, not intended for children or young teens
27 year old Kat Larson is haunted by demons. Literally. And how was
she to know that there was more than one type of demon? The Evils want
to destroy her soul, while billionaire Sentinel demon, Zachary Winston,
claims that he wants to protect her. Kat opts for Zach’s protection…but
it doesn’t come without a price. It requires a demon bargain…and what he
suggests surprises poor Kat almost as much as the fact that demons
really do exist. Why would the handsome billionaire want to make such an
agreement with a curvy, plain redheaded woman like her?
Billionaire Zachary Winston has a mission and it’s one that he vows
to complete. As a Sentinel demon, his task is to protect Kat from the
Evils that will corrupt her soul. His only problem is that she is his
“radiant,” the one woman who can lighten the darkness of his demon
existence and be his eternal mate. Zach has to fight an internal war
between man and demon as he protects Kat, not quite sure which one will
win. He’s one part demon, one part man, but they both yearn for Kat’s
lush, full figured body and kind, compassionate heart. As Zach becomes
more and more enchanted with Kat, he’s hoping she can learn to love a
lonely man/demon that’s only slightly wicked.
This paranormal romance contains graphic language, steamy love
scenes, and lovable alpha males that also happen to be mythological
demons.
