I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Damon is mysterious and dangerous. I was easily pulled in and intrigued by his activities. Elise knows how to play the game of small-town living. She’ll keep to herself until the mysterious man comes into view, then all bets are off. These two want each other and will do whatever to needs to be done to capture the other. Good storyline and kept my attention throughout.
This was pretty much non-stop action and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was very steamy and it had the best crazy ex / mean girl character, Kendra. Oh man, I did not like her.
“It’s not like I’m throwing myself at you”
“Really? It seems like that’s exactly what you’re doing.”
“And you don’t have any control? Do you kiss every woman who might be attracted to you?”
“No. You’re not every woman.”
Oh, how I love the misunderstood bad boy!
Damon Sanders. The loner. The one with the murderous reputation. The one everyone stays away from. Good. He prefers it that way. His life is a mess – full of danger. Letting anyone in could spell disaster and death. Forced to skim the line of legality to save his family from dangerous people, love is not even a conceivable notion for him. Until her. What is it about this woman that draws him in like a moth to a bug zapper? He knows this can’t end well , but he can’t stay away from her. Can he find a way to have her, and keep her from the mess that is his life? When she makes a decision that puts her in the cross-hairs, can he get to her in time to save her? If he loses her now, there’ll be nothing left for him to keep breathing. He can’t let that happen.
Elise Morgan liked this little town. She could see herself happy here, working in the small clinic in town while she waited for her dream job to come through in New York. She never planned on him. Everything about him screamed trouble. Danger. Warning. But despite her good senses, she couldn’t keep from wanting to know everything about him, explore every inch of him. She’d heard the rumors, but something told her there was more to this man that what the towns people whispered about him. Once she gets inside that carefully constructed wall he’s put around himself, she knows she’ll never want to leave. But, when danger comes calling for her, will she ever get the chance to see him again? Has she lost everything?
I enjoyed this book! Damon is my favorite kind of hero -misunderstood, self-loathing, and feeling undeserved of anyone’s love. How wrong they all are!!! I would have liked a bit more about the trouble befalling his family – a little more background in to the situation. Overall, a great read. I mean, really, who doesn’t love the bad boy/straight-laced woman romance?
Dark, hot alpha Damon keeps to himself in his small town, until Elise appears at the bar one night. I really liked the twisty turny story line and the chemistry between Damon and Elise. It’s a different from his other books, but that’s not a bad thing!
3.5 Stars ~ Reviewed on behalf of KindleFriendsForever
Romantic suspense is one of my favourite tropes and I thought it was a good idea to jump into this story blind. This author is new to me and I found a lot of good points in this book that makes it a fascinating read.
Elise Morgan is the new girl in Mount Hood, wanting a fresh start. She’s a city girl who is still getting the feel of the small town vibe where everybody knows everyone’s business. When she comes across Damon, a mysterious guy who draws her attention like a magnet, she will do anything to get to know him. For someone who is in her twenties, she is a bit naive and quite trusting.
Damon is the local bad boy but no one really knows his issues except for the unconfirmed rumours floating around him. His instant attraction to the new girl makes him feel vulnerable and there are things in his life that need to be addressed first before thinking of hooking up with Elise.
Elise and Damon’s story is told in dual points of view and has a good plot. My only issue is that Elise’s character who although is in her mid-twenties and coming from Los Angeles is quite naive and jumps easily into dangerous situations. Either she is too trusting or plain reckless I just had trouble connecting to her character. Damon, on the other hand, is the brooding alpha male, mysterious and dangerous. He is the perfect bad boy to Elise’s nice but simple(ton) girl persona, [sorry but when you read the part about the ransom money you will know what I mean].
Kendra and her sidekicks as the antagonists with their “mean girl” antics somehow don’t correlate to their age. The plot thickens when Damon’s father appears to be the main reason of all the action and drama in this book, but I wished that there had been more back story provided by the author to shed more light to the father and son relationship.
The overall plot and suspense was good enough to grab my attention and finish this book even though to my mind of thinking, the author could have given Elise more IQ points to make me like her persona more. I will definitely have a look at this author’s other books as I find his narrative style quite interesting.
4.5 Stars for Damon
Bad Boy Damon is the man every girl wants but what happens when he catches the eye of a sweet girl called Elise, a girl who is light where he is darkness, she is water and he is oil and we all know oil and water should not mix !!
Damon has secrets and no one really knows the sinfully hot man who wants to keep his life private a task which isn’t easy in a small town and it gets even harder when Elise moves into town. Elise try’s her best to ignore her feelings for Damon problem is once he catches her eye there is no going back.
Secrets, sizzling chemistry all add to this intense thrilling read and this book has the perfect mix of passion, love and suspense, it’s a page turn that will keep you reading to the very last line. This is a very different story to previous books I have read by this author and I have to be honest and say I struggled at the start but I’m so glad I kept going with Damon and Elise love story, great stand-alone
Alex Wolf’s best work to date and an incredible story about Damon and Elise! Damon has complications in his life and is a hard but man but the first time he spots Elise he just wants to get to know her. But, with people and circumstances conspiring against them it may never happen.
Damon and Elise had that instant connection across the room in the lodge of a small town. Elise was looking for the quiet of a small town after the craziness of LA and Damon was just trying to live his life alone and unnoticed. Neither got what they were looking for, but both found what they needed. Damon is the roughest character in an Alex Wolf book to date and I quite like him, he was a good guy that had to make decision he normally wouldn’t to save his family. Elise is one tough cookie who got more than she bargained for with Damon, but handled it just the same. This book is very well written and quite enjoyable. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Damon is this rough and tough Alpha that turns all the ladies heads.
Elise is new to the mountain area, but as soon as she spotted Damon it was on.
Just with almost every small town, there’s always a mean girl type.
Her name is Kendra…
Kendra tries her best to throw a wrench into Damon and Elise’s relationship.
Definitely family drama as well.
This a new side to Mr. Wolf, and I love it…
This is a must read people.
She was looking for the quiet life as she waited for her dream job. All he wanted was to save his family and get out of the hole he was in. Total opposites, drawn to one another. She was light and he was darkness.
You’ve got a small town, with a small town mentality, the bad guys coming for what they want and the town’s popular daddy’s girl who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Elise and Damon face all these obstacles once they find each other. However, nothing deters Elise. She’d risk everything for him.
The story had alot going on. However through it all you felt the attraction between Elise and Damon. Their connection was instant and their love became unbreakable. This story had drama, suspense and a whole lot of heat! Damon and Elise were HOT!
I loved this book I read it as a trio of books. They were all super. Thank you Led for writing.Please read and review your books.
Damon is a man that wants to keep to himself and be as private as possible but with living in a small town as he does that’s hard to achieve especially with Kendra always around trying to as close as possible. Elise is new to town and is trying to mind her own business until a particular bad boy catches her eye, then all bets are off. This story is intense and will have you on the edge throughout the book. If you’re looking for an action packed, suspense filled read that has a great blend of romance and lust poured in then this is the story for you.
If you’re looking for a short read that includes alpha males and a lot of sexy times, Alex Wolf is the author for you. This one, though, has a man that loves his family enough to do questionable things. This story has danger, drama and a mean girl. For me, I probably wanted the storyline to have developed more with the ending of the story.
