People say the heart wants what it wants and will not be denied. Those people are fools. I’m a practiced hand at hiding from the world. The scars I bear are invisible to all but me, and I use them to sustain the walls I’ve built around myself. He knocked my simple life into disarray and infiltrated my carefully constructed defenses. The tight control I maintain is at breaking point, and ever … is at breaking point, and ever since our eyes connected across a lunch hall, my world has been off balance.
I can’t have him, and he can’t have me.
I know it.
He knows it.
I’m just not sure that Tarrant Reigns has ever followed anyone’s rules.
Everything and everyone is against us.
Even his brother.
Caden brought us together, but now he’s standing in our way.

I was captivated from the first chapter until the last one. I’ve read books from the author before and couldn’t wait to dive into Dazed. I fell in love with the story with each written word. You could feel the chemistry between Tarrant and Laura but what captured me even more was Laura and Caden’s relationship. You’ll need to read the book to get what I mean 🙂
Laura has been through her own personal hell a while back and has stayed away from anyone around her to get close. Even though Morgan is her best friend, she doesn’t know everything about her past. But when she meets Caden, pieces will start falling together every step of the way forward. They become good friends and their bond gets tighter but nothing is as what it seems and when Caden’s brother, Tarrant, gets more and more involved in her life, Laura will have to face everything when past and present collides…
Hooked from the very first page. You’ll love Laura,Tarrant and Caden. Maria is such a fantastic writer and surprises me with every book, I can’t wait for her next release. Thanks Maria
I don’t think that I can write a review and give this book what it deserves and not gush about the details which would reveal spoilers. I have to say I could not put this book down. I was hooked from page one and the plot of the story is so good that all throughout the book I never knew exactly which path the story would follow. I loved the main characters Laura, Tarrant and Caden. There was so much going on with these characters and I loved this, plus the supporting characters in the book all had their place and were perfect! The story was beautifully written, I was gutted when I had finished reading the book…. it was that good!
I love everything about this book, the storyline is amazing as are the characters. Maria certainly knows how to write a book that sucks you in and keeps you turning the pages, there is passion, love and angst in this book as well as a really hot main character and a HEA what more could you want!
Well I am still trying to wrap my head around what I just read so I can give you a review and put the emotions to the side. This is a great read. The author takes us into the lives of a girl who has due to her own demons shied away from the spotlight and make herself invisible. But he sees her. Unfortunately so does his brother. The love that grows the family that rips everything to shred. These are the things that draw them together and what will rip them apart. An emotional read of hiding in plain sight from those who are supposed to love and support you. There are so many things about this book that need to be shared but can’t without spoilers.
This is my first read by this author and I love the complexity yet simplicity of her characters. There isn’t a bunch of unrelated stuff going on just life. I love this author who is new to me and I can’t wait to see what she does next. I will first off finish this series.
5 stars is so not enough for this book.
I have read all of Maria’s books and can honestly say, this is the best one yet.
There is just something about this book that pulls you in and keeps you fixated until the end.
Is it:
1. The quiet girl who meets 2 brothers and her desire to help 1, be the reason she may lose the other?
2. The bad boy and a HOT bad boy at that.
3. The underdog brother who has secrets he must keep.
4. The loyal best friend.
5. The total bitchy and jealous college girl who makes peoples life a misery.
The only way for you to find out is to read yourself. Once you do come back and let me know.
I can’t wait to see what comes next from Maria. I’m sure you can’t either!!
