Love truly does conquer all!
Colton McClain grew up with a father who is the epitome of evil, known by the moniker of Black Horse to those who crossed his path. His childhood best friend’s family took him in despite the rumors of who that man was. They paid the ultimate price for that kindness.
Averi Ford was a firsthand witness to the evil that Black Horse reigned over others. She witnessed the lives of her parents and big brother being snuffed out like a candle when she was just a little girl. Now an adult, her two remaining brothers are more than crazily overprotective.
Averi remembers the boy who she shared a deep connection with and would spend countless nights talking and giggling with her and her brothers. She understands that he was a victim in this madness himself- his father locked him a car and left him for dead!
Against what her brother’s believe Averi and Colt have found true happiness in one another. She will not give him up without a fight, no matter what anyone says or does. It is time for them all to heal from the scars given by the Dark Horse.
Just as they are settling into their future, the evil returns to their lives to finish what he started all those years ago. How do they fight against the evil and darkness without losing their love and their lives?
These characters have been through the ringer to say the least. Their childhoods were ruined by the same man, and they’ve fought tooth and nail to recover from it. The love and affection between Averi and Colt are beautiful. Even her hard-nosed brother’s having to get on board once they see it for themselves. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to see how it all shakes out!
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a read with danger, a reluctant hero, and characters who have to learn to lean on someone else to get by!
This book was a real page turner and it had me captivated from the beginning. There is action, drama, suspense and heat all rolled into an intriguing story. Averi and Colt have been friends since diapers and they move on to lovers in high school. They both survived a tragic childhood but for very different reasons. Averi knows her brothers detest Colt and knows she should hate him also but she just doesn’t, he can’t help who his father is. Colt wants to love and protect Averi with every fiber in his body, so when danger comes knocking on their door Colt goes all alpha protection mode. Will they both survive the danger one man seems determined to rain down on them?
This book was freaking amazing from beginning to end. Averi survives something she probably shouldn’t have thanks to her brother. But years later she is trying to move on and the man that killed her parents and her brother is back to get his revenge. One thing stopping him is his son Colton who Averi is madly in love with. These two are the most amazing couple. These two fell in love with each other when they were little and lived through something terrible and tragic. Which only made both of them stronger. Now together they are facing the one person that can destroy their future. This storyline was amazing from beginning to end. I loved every page turning minute of this book. Averi and Colton are my favorite couple and I want more from them. I cant wait to read more from this couple and this storyline. An amazing book and I highly recommend it
