But something magical and potent draws them to each other, in a dangerous attraction that is stronger than both of them.

When Hardy leaves town to pursue his plans, Liberty finds herself alone with a young sister to raise. Soon Liberty is under the spell of a billionaire tycoon—a Sugar Daddy, one might say. But the relationship goes deeper than people think, and Liberty begins to discover secrets about her own family’s past.

I loved this book! It was great to see how much Liberty grows up in this story and how she chooses the man she is in love with! Did not end the way I thought it would, had a great twist at the end! A happy ending for sure!

Single White Vampire - Lynsay Sands

Single White Vampire (Argeneau, #3)Single White Vampire by Lynsay Sands

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thought that Lucern was a little weird at first because he was a little creepy and didn't talk much. As the story went on it was kind of entertaining to see Kate bring him out of his shell. She's out going and he's a recluse. She likes to be around people, he hates it. She does her best to bring out the charming man she knows he can be and not only succeeds, but falls in love while doing so! Great book!

This was a book about how someone can overcome an an abusive relationship and still find true love. It was way more than just a romance book, it is an inspirational story. It described the ins and outs of an abusive relationship and how they work and in the end how much courage and strength it takes to rise above the abuse. Haven goes from an abusive user to a man who protects her and would never do her wrong.
