Blurb:
Giving my virginity to a stranger was my first mistake.
Lying about my age, my second.
Never expecting to see Lex again, my third.

He promised me one night and I took it, never expecting anything in return.

Then a few months later, I see something I shouldn’t have and fate brings us back together again.

I didn’t mean to see it and I wasn’t snooping. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that doesn’t matter to them. I’m a liability.

Now Lex is everywhere I am. Following me, watching me, and making sure I don’t tell anyone what I saw that night.

He’s dominating, possessive, and downright controlling sometimes. He warns me of how dangerous this could be for both of us. He tells me that he doesn’t want to hurt me, but he has no idea what seeing him again is doing to me.

Not when I have secrets of my own, secrets Lex isn’t ready to hear.

When all the lies are told and secrets come out, will the promises that we made in the dark be kept in the light?

*This is book five in the North Woods Series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. Contains adult situations, and themes.*

Review

Jude doesn’t want the life that is being thrust on her by her family so she decides to take control of her own future.   While having a drink at a bar she is rescued from one man’s unwanted attentions by Lex and they spend a steamy evening together and is gone before he wakes the next morning.    Her plan completed she returns home to face the aftermath and prepare for her new beginning.

After serving his country Lex has created a new life for himself and although he only spent one night with Jude he hasn’t forgotten her.    When she show up in his life for a second time it was at the worst possible time and now he not only has to ensure that she doesn’t share what she saw but he also needs to find a way to keep her in his life.

I liked the evolution of Jude’s character throughout the story as well as how supportive that Lex was to her and it is always great to catch up with the other characters in this series.
