Title : Frayed Rope

Author : Harlow Stone

Series : The Ugly Roses #1

Rating : 4 Stars

Blurb : A changed name, a different country, a new life. Carte blanche, right? Perhaps, and I might have enjoyed it under different circumstances. But the bottom line is- he won’t stop until I’m dead. I’ve done my best to stay in the shadows. Laying low and only speaking when I absolutely need to. It worked well for me until Ryder walked into my life. Or more accurately, jogged. The dark and broody owner of Callaghan Securities invaded my reclusive bubble when I least expected it. Knowing that my time spent avoiding people could be coming to an end, I have an important decision to make. Am I able to open up about my past? Let him in, let him help? Or will I embrace the cold hearted bitch I have become and leave him behind like everything else in my shit life. I was once a nice woman named Jayne O’Connor. I’m not sure I know who that is anymore.

Review : Frayed Rope by Harlow Stone is the first part of a 3 book series and OMG what a first part it is. My emotions are all over the place and the problem is with my self-inflicted “as little as possible spoiler” rule – well I can’t tell anything… can I ?So lets just say that Ryder and Elle are a great pairing. Oh and I hate the temporary ending of this book – but well there is hope as there are two others to come : -) …The writing is really good for what I believe is a debut novel of this author. You could discuss if you like the pace of the story but I liked it as it showed the developments in a good light. I can only recommend this book/author and I hope I will come across the next of this series soon.
