One second I wanted to f*ck her and the next I wanted to throw her to the wolves.And now I felt protective over her, God help me.GRISELLAFor just a moment it seemed like everything was going to change.The first man I ever loved had seen the light. I was finally going to be welcomed into his kingdom, to take my rightful place at his table. Instead he locked me away in a tower with the most … he locked me away in a tower with the most dangerous man I’ve ever met.
Mitchell Graves is a cold-blooded killer and to him I’m just another spoiled little girl.
He’s violent, cruel, and without mercy…
And he’s also deliciously sexy.
He’s got me locked up right where he wants me
And he’s never, ever going to let me go.
I shouldn’t let him strip my panties from me.
I shouldn’t let him use my innocent body.
But I do.
I can’t stop him.
And I don’t even know if I want to.
He’s either the man of my dreams or the man of my nightmares.
And I might not live long enough to find out which.
GRAVES
I’ve never needed to defile anything so desperately.
This haughty princess is as untouched as the freshly fallen snow.
Skin so soft she’s obviously never struggled a day in her life.
Perfectly pillowy lips, just made for sucking me.
I can’t wait to devour her.
I’m going to make her scream, in pleasure and in pain.
I’m going to make her beg and cry out my name when I take everything from her.
I’m going to own her and she’s going to love every second of it even if she thinks she doesn’t want it.
Princess thinks she’s untouchable.
But daddy isn’t going to save her this time.
In fact, daddy gave her to me.
I wasn’t expecting my need to taste every centimeter of her succulent body to consume me like this.
But it has.
And now I need to destroy her before she destroys me.

Grisella and Graves are thrown together for her protection or is she given to him for another reason ? I had a great time finding out what was going to happen to them. The storyline flowed smoothly with characters that are well developed and engaging.

It started with curiosity building. The cover didn’t match the story, so what I expected was different. The story opened on several questions that were answered. It wasn’t difficult to figure out where the story was going, but the writer kept me involved until the end. One thing I was kind of at odds with was the really immature way the h acted. Then I remembered she was just a teen after all. It ends in a “happily for now” and that’s okay. The power players have just confronted each other and the h and H lose themselves in the crowd. I’d recommend it to friends.

This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Graves is hired to protect Grisella, by her father but she doesn’t want to be there. Soon sparks are flying between them. Witty, fun and loads of drama and steam. The characters had excellent chemistry and their story was fun and very hot. I really liked it.
When Graves takes this protection detail for Grisella he never imagined the mess he wpuld become involved in. Grisella is nothing like he imagined. Everything he was told isn’t matching up with who is in front of him. When he starts putting pieces together he knows he has to protect Grisella cause no one else has.

‘Silver Sands’ is the 2nd in Sonora Voss’ ‘Dark Horizon Captives’ romance series. Not as dark overall as the 1st (Crimson Bayou) this one is loaded with snark, sly humor & some steamy sizzle. The main characters are an 18 year old heroine (Grisella) who has zero insecurity about herself & her goals, & her captor/protector, an older former Green Beret (Graves) now a mercenary who is mentally tormented & exhausted by a mission tragedy.
Hired by Grisella’s high profile wealthy powerful father to protect his newly acknowledged illegitimate daughter from ‘serious threats’, Graves finds Grisella combative, enraged & determined to escape his ‘protective custody’ hidden away in a safehouse.
But as the days roll by, Graves begins to have serious worries: About his lust for Grisella’s smart mouth & hot body, just who is the threat to her & why? About this ‘job’ that seems increasingly sketchy & just flat out ‘off & wrong’.
I loved the back & forth that transpires between Grisella & Graves both verbally & physically throughout their tale. Graves is older, more mature, more life experienced but emotionally volatile & easily freaked by any semblance of growing closer to his charge. And Grisella is much younger, not as life experienced but due to her upbringing by a bitter mother, well used to caring for herself & working towards a goal. And if Graves wasn’t such a reactive jerk she just MIGHT be able to really, really like him . . . .
This one has sexy sizzle, snark, brief intimacies that allow Graves & Grisella to begin to understand the other, suspense & a deft dash of danger to heat things up for the reader. I liked both Graves & Grisella a lot & I was rooting for them to find a HEA together. This story focuses almost primarily on their relationship & the journey is one loaded with humor & frustration, two steps forward three steps back yet that never bothered me at all.
I found myself chuckling, a lot. Smiling, a lot. Enjoying it, ALL.
The writing IMO was excellent, had a wonderful smooth perfect flow. I was never yanked out of the story & never skipped/skimmed anything or wanted to do so.
For the reader who wants some sizzle, humor, suspense; wants to settle into a beautifully enjoyable romantic escape: read this one!
what a great addition to the Dark Horizon series! This is Grisella and Graves story. Graves has a new client deployed by Dark Horizons to protect Grisella the daughter of a prominent man who works within the privatized military for a dangerous threat to his family. but Grisella isnt the beloved daughter Graves was led to believe. Grisella was brought up by her single mother whose life was overtaken by the need to make Grisellas father pay for his little secret. but finally meeting her father doesnt turn out the way she could have thought after all these years of denial he finally accepts her to only lock her away under the watch of Graves. but can they keep their hands off each other or will both their pasts haunt a possible future together. well written with a great story and characters

This book wasn’t my cup of tea. The heroine was so all over the place, and not very smart. And the H and H kinda had an instant lust/love relationship and I’m not into insta-love books. The story just seemed a little unbelievable to me.

Oh my what a great read. I couldn’t put it down. The best thing about the story was the authenticity of the characters. There is realness to them that kept me engaged and invested in a good outcome. It didn’t hurt that the book is also super steamy. More from this author. Yes please!
