DeeI’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man. But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my heart with … dust. So I guard my heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.
All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-looking, sex-oozing self right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want what I know I can’t have.
So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run.
But he just won’t let me go.
Beck
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.
To make her mine.
She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her.
She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.
No cliffhanger, HEA, inter-connected standalones. This book is intended for a mature reading.

Oh how much this book was well worth the read! I loved it from beginning until end and just loved Dee and Beck together. I want a Beck in my life 🙂
This story was also an emotional read for me, although I can’t imagine some things Dee went through, I understand how much it hurts and I can relate to that! I sometimes wish that I had a Beck to help me but I had to do it alone, and sometimes in some way I still do. Nobody will ever understand, not unless you go through it yourself! This book is very much worth the read and so well written. I really enjoyed this although I had tears in my eyes at some scenes.
Harper Sloan did it again!
Dee was always sure to keep everyone at a distance, she made sure that no one saw how truly broken she was including her best friends. Then she met Beck and her walls started to fall down so she did what she did best she ran.
Beck knew that everyone couldn’t see why he kept chasing and waiting for Dee, but they didn’t see what he saw, she was struggling to deal with things. While everyone including her friends got their happily ever after Beck helped Dee struggle, even when she pushed him away, he kept going back.
He knew one day she would stop running and what they would have would be beautiful, until then he would be there helping her through her pain, even when everyone else thought they were just playing games.
This was a great read. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I definitely recommend this book, this author and this series.
This installment was okay, I liked it but wasn’t in love with it. Dee just pi**ed me off a lot, and I didn’t like an event that took place, but Beck being all bada** has a temper, “which part do you think is a game? You refusing to be more than a bed warmer? Not answering the phone when I call because I’m worried about you? No, wait, I’ve got it. It must be the time that I told you I wanted more than just and itch to scratch and a di** to ride. Please tell me, Dee, because for the life of me, I can’t figure out what game I could be playing with you.” Cohen I love that little s*** dearly, “two times, but it was Mommy’s fault the first time. Daddy’s wiener was out, and I was just trying to protect her from seeing it.” He leans into my face, so close that our nose touch. “Girls aren’t supposed to see wieners, Aunt Dee. And Daddy’s wiener was mad that Mommy saw. It was so mad, it was pointing at her!” Beck is the type of man that woman leave his woman behind, “I’ll walk out that door the second she’s ready to go with me. Not a second before, so shut the eff up about it.” He’s also a really dirty boy, “just the thought of your body with my come all over you is the hottest effing thing you could have just said. Eff, Dee. You make me want to come all over your body so everyone knows you’re mine.” Dee toward the end I sorta liked her she grew her back-bone again, “oh, really…you know, I’m aware that he saw me naked, but it also was an accident. When you were running through the house with your di** flopping all over the place for everyone to see, you didn’t see me going all crazy. Oh no, I was laughing, because, hello! It’s funny!” I really hope Maddox’s story is more, alpha than this one was.
