This is my first book by Eden Summers and let me tell you she can write!! You definitely don’t want to miss this book. There were so many twists and turns. I kept wondering who is telling lies to whom. This book was so hot and steamy. The tension and buildup between Decker and Keira was killing me. I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for Torian’s story to come out now!!
4.5 stars–DECKER is the second instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult, erotic romantic, suspense series. This is Sebastian Decker, and Keira Torian’s story line. DECKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sebastian and Keira) DECKER follows the acrimonious relationship between Sebastian Decker, and Keira Torian. Sebastian Decker is all about the protection of his boss’ sister Keira Torian but as a member of one of the most dangerous crime families, Keira’s innocence is often questioned. When a recent drive by threatens Keira and everyone she loves, Decker becomes personal body guard and lover to a woman who whose issues of trust place Decker in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Decker and Keira, and the potential fall-out as secrets, lies, betrayal and blood may be too deep and painful to overcome.
DECKER is a story of suspense as our leading couple are forced to run. Targeted for who they are, and what they know, Decker will discover that trust comes at a cost, a trust that is broken, perhaps beyond repair.
The relationship between Decker and Keira is one of immediate attraction but an attraction that has been simmering for several months. As the daughter, and sister of the heads of the crime family Keira knows more than she is willing to reveal but her issues of trust place she and Decker in a precarious position of power and control. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate and intense but once again I struggle with the use of a certain four-letter word, used only once more for shock value than anything else, but a word I find unnecessary in a romance story line.
We are reintroduced to Hunter and Sarah (Hunter #1), as well as Keira’s brother Cole Tarian. Cole’s story line is next.
The world building follows the dark and dangerous relationship between Decker and Keira, a relationship built upon secrets, lies and deceit; a relationship where trust is fleeting, betrayal is imminent, and heart break is real.
DECKER is a dramatic and tense story of family, blood, honor and pain. The premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is spicy, electric and startling; the characters are broken, angry, powerful and rebellious. DECKER is a captivating and visceral story line of power, retribution, and control. DECKER ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.
This dark romance was a fast paced quick read that will have you on the edge of your seat, second guessing who to trust. Eden Summers knows how to draw you in and keep you emotionally invested in the characters and the storyline. Both Decker and Keira have secrets that could destroy their chance at a future. Is the need for revenge worth sacrificing that chance at happiness? This story is a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting to know what will happen next. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
Wow. I didn’t see that coming at all. Decker is an amazing, suspenseful, unexpected, surprising ride. A drive-by shooting puts Decker as Keira’s protector. From the moment these two met, both of them have been battling a connection and working to deny that they feel anything. As they hide out, will they keep denying those feelings? Then there is Keira’s family, they are a mob family with so many secrets about what they do. I don’t want to reveal all the amazing twists and turns. Decker and Keira are fabulous together but can this really work with all the secrets that will be revealed. I loved every heart pounding moment.
The tangles in the Torian family keep getting twisted. Decker has been brought in by Hunter to work for Cole. When he sees Cole threatening his sister Keira, he steps in in a very bold move. He is new though and he needs to gain their trust. After a drive by shooting occurs outside Keira’s restaurant, Decker is appointed as her protector. I just couldn’t stop reading, wanting to know more about the whole twisted drama. Hunter along with Sarah play an important role. There is deceit everywhere, lies told and uncovered but somehow, Keira the Torian princess and Decker the joker work. It’s so well written, I couldn’t guess the next move right but that’s what makes this story so good. Loved it!
Lots of drama, lies, and suspense. Decker has only stuck around for Keira (not that she knows that), but judgement day is coming and he is likely to go down. She is supposed to be off limits and he is only supposed to protect her—even from himself. Great romantic suspense!
Suspenseful. Passionate. Full of intrigue and secrets. All delivered in the intense writing style of Eden Summers. That’s DECKER in a nutshell for you. Whenever Ms. Summer has a new release coming, I’m all grabby hands and anxious excitement, because I just know she will deliver. She will take me on that journey where all I see is the world of the characters she created. Vivid. Deep. Sexy. Spiked with a tinge of darkness and more lies and secrets than I expected. Who can you trust? Who is the bad guy in this scenario? I was kept guessing for quite some time… Whew. What a journey.
Crime families, sex, murder, mysteries, danger, some more scorching smexiness, revenge and a couple with sizzling chemistry. I wouldn’t call it dark, though it has some heart-pounding shockers built in for sure.
Keira and Decker’s story is one big seductive adventure. The pages will almost be turning themselves, I can tell you that. A beautifully crafted thrilling red-hot romantic suspense.
This standalone, romantic suspense is a fast-paced book that keeps you entertained until the very end. Keira is the youngest daughter of a man who heads up a crime-ridden family. Her brother tries to keep her in the dark, but she is a strong, cunning heroine who fights her own battles. Decker works for her brother, Cole Torian, and is tasked with keeping Keira safe from the family’s enemies. I loved Decker. He is the sexy alpha male with a hidden secret. He is the perfect balance of toughness, mixed with sarcastic wit and a soft spot for Keira. Keira also has secrets and what happens when the two discover what each other are hiding? There are betrayals, lies, action, suspense, some good twists and turns throughout the book that keep the story entertaining. I also really enjoyed seeing more of Hunter and Sarah as well as learning a little bit more about Cole Torian. Decker, takes place after Hunter, but it can be read as a standalone. Overall, I enjoyed this book as it had a great storyline, good suspense, and likable characters. I am looking forward to this author’s next book. I received this book as an ARC.
I loved Decker. I couldn’t put the book down while reading. I loved the fact that there were plot twist I didn’t see coming which is what kept my on the edge of my seat on some parts. I truly felt a connection between Decker and Keira yet I liked the tension they had between them as well. It was great seeing Hunter and Sarah in this book and catch up with them. I highly recommend to read. I would read Hunter first but you could get away with just reading Decker, although Hunter is a great book so I recommend both
Decker and Keira- what a book! So many twists and turns but didn’t want to put it down! I loved all the connections with the characters!
Eden Summers keeps you reading and wanting more. From the relationship with Hunter and Decker, to making Keira his, Decker has so many emotions written into it! I cannot wait for more!
Wow what can I say, this book was amazing I’m so excited to see what happens next.
Decker is a beautiful strong rugged man who’s protection is fearce.
Keira is a beautiful force to be reckoned with.
The twists and turns of this book made it hard to put down.
Another amazing read from Eden.
What a follow on from Hunter, i loved Hunter but there was just something with Deckers story that i absolutely loved, sometimes i loved him then i hated him and just didn’t know what to feel while reading the book he was a very complex character.
I did love Keria she was a great character and she was stronger than you thought, she never really played the damsel in distress like i thought she would and i loved her story and that she has a family that people are scared by.
This book had everything, lies and suspense had you turning the pages and not wanting to put down, it had a great storyline that had you wondering which way it was going and a few twist and turns that had me surprised but also got me excited to see how this story would end.
This is a must read read and loved everything about it. This book also has me so excited for Torians book can’t wait for his story.
Big 5 stars for this one
Mysterious, secretive and twisty beyond belief – that covers the plot, as well as both Keira and Decker!
Decker took me through the whole gamut of emotions, from lust to anger, betrayal to hope, despair and forgiveness. I thought that Keira and Decker were really well written characters, they had depth and even though there were times when I didn’t like their actions, I totally loved them as ‘people’. Never judge a book by it’s cover and don’t judge this pair by first impressions…. whilst both characters are very likeable, they both have their own secrets and dark sides.
The plot is twisty and intriguing, this romantic suspense takes us on one heck of a ride. There were a few times, in the first half of the book, when personally I felt the pace dragged briefly. However it wasn’t enough to make the book boring and, once we really start getting to the truths hidden under the layers of lies that make up this pair, the action was almost non-stop.
It was good to see more of Hunter and Sarah, though if really don’t need to have read Hunter to enjoy this book. I loved that twist at the end, which isn’t quite a cliff-hanger (we do get a resolution for Keira and Decker) but does set up the next book really well.
This book is a heady mix of edge of your seat suspense, love and hate, secrets and betrayal that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!
This story begins amid a pool of blood and violence and quickly throws you into the action and passion.
Sebastian Decker is drawn into the Torian mafia family against his better judgement and almost entirely by his heart the moment he lays eyes on Keira Torian.
He wants to save her, but it’s not yet evident if she wants or indeed needs to be saved.
The pace of this story is break-neck fast with more twists and turns than a theme park thrill ride you won’t want to put this book down.
Eden Summers writes deeply complex, flawed irresistible characters and Decker and Keira are no exception.
He is a delicious combination of sarcasm, passionate lover and imminent violence and the perfect match for the headstrong, sometimes fragile, mafia beauty, and their dual deceit and secrets threaten to bring down not only themselves but everyone around them.
This is essentially a standalone but with references and characters from her previous 5 star hit “Hunter”, you would do well to read it first, but either way this is another stellar 5 star read
This is a great book which I devoured in 24 hours. Highly recommend this story. Loved these characters
This very talented author has a gift which enables her to be able to make the reader feel like they are a part of the story and that is exactly what this author did with me! The great character and storyline development grabbed my attention from the very first page and kept me totally engaged until the turn of the very last page!
This book was ridiculously good! Hot sexy time, great story line, including sex, death, murder, more sex, secrets, character follow up from Hunter, Angry sex, betrayal, revenge and then some more sex.
I sat down to read this book between Xmas parties and was late getting to dinner because I couldn’t put it down!
If you loved Hunter you will love Decker. If you haven’t read Hunter, READ IT!
An unfortunate series of events, leads to Decker becoming Keira’s protector. He wants to save Keira from the moment he meets her. Decker has gotten himself into something he can’t get out of, at least not easily. This time, he’s bitten off way more than he can chew.
Keira has been sheltered from the Torian Family business for far too long. She is known as being vulnerable and emotional, the week child of Luther Torian. In reality, Keira is strong. She’s no pushover and if the family paid closer attention, they would realize this.
Decker is a shameless flirt, but you can’t dismiss Keira’s playfulness towards him. Keira gives as good as she gets. But flirting is as far as it can go. Keira’s brother Cole is close to losing it and if anything were to happen between Decker and Keira, that would be considered the ultimate betrayal. That and the secret Decker is keeping. A secret that will blow them apart.
WOW ! THIS BOOK WAS INTENSE ! POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL, WITH CHARACTERS SO CAPTIVATING, I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN ! ! ! DECKER AND KEIRA’S PLAYFUL BANTER WAS SEXY AS HE!! ! STEAMY, SEXY AND SINFUL ! ! ! A DEFINITE ONE-CLICK !
Decker is a man on a mission. Being part of the mafia has its problems, especially when he is assigned to protect Torian’s sister Keira. The way she moves the way she fears nothing not even the head of the mafia family himself. Decker finds himself torn between his best friend Hunter and his objective. This is a action packed adventure filled steamy sexual tension between Decker and Kiera that leave them both exposed betrayed battered and broken confused on what to do next. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the series to continue. It is a must read. Highly recommended
I’ve been waiting on Decker’s story since reading Hunter. These are some bad, bad boys with an alpha sized personality to match. It turned out to be another action packed, suspenseful mafia style romance. Decker the protector and Keira the mafia princes, daughter to the leader.
I spent most of the story right in the middle of the suspense, hanging on to the edge of my seat to see how these two made it through their predicament and made it together. There was emotion and passion that just lit up the pages. An absolute page-turner not to be missed in this ever intriguing series.
