Sometimes bad decisions… are made for the right reasons. I lost everything with the death of my bandmate—my privacy, my reputation, my career, and the love of my life.I’m nothing but the living ghost of Madelaine Dobransky. Still, I’ve managed to make a new life for myself and build a successful business from the ashes. And even though my world is filled with guilt, secrets, and suspicion… it … my world is filled with guilt, secrets, and suspicion… it lies buried beneath the surface.
All I wanted was a tattoo. I didn’t know that it would bring him—the one who watches—back into my life. Nor did I expect the tempting tattoo artist, Dexter McClellan, to lay claim on a place in my world. Dex wants to know me, to know the truth.
But I can’t let that happen. Because the truth is buried for a reason.
The truth will destroy me.

The book is a good romance read. The story moves smoothly. The characters are good. The story does end in a cliffhanger.

This is quite a complex story as it flips from the past to the present throughout & there is a lot of mystery to uncover surrounding Maddie’s past. It sucks you in right from the start. I was on edge reading it a bit as your never quite sure what her past story was going to reveal. From the blurb I knew someone dies so I was just waiting for it to happen thinking ow it’s going to hit me in the feels! It’s only hinted at in this book though so was ok.. until I read the next!
I like the connection & chemistry she has with Dex & enjoy that bit of the story the most. I normally read hot romances & didn’t know if this would have much in it but it has its fair share of steamy scenes in her past & present. It’s full of drama & suspense with the stalker etc & will have you hooked while your trying to find out what the hell happened to her!!
Ends in a cliff hanger so both books need to be read.

For me this read was a Masterpiece, it had everything and a cherry on top. It stayed on my mind and I can’t get the characters outta my head. This is a unforgettable story about a girl turning into a woman and how her life keeps giving her utter crud, big piles of cow manure, but she keeps moving on and surviving. She is a strong, tell it like it is warrior, that is so freaking commpassinate , it blows my mind how she isn’t more harden toward people.Instead she welcomes them into her family and employees them and tries to make the world better or more enjoyable. It’s crazy that now I am not sure who to trust after the cliffy . This book has got all my emotions all over the place. There was a ton of characters like massive amount and I did have to slow down and figure out who was who. This entire read was half in the present and half in the past , which really gave us some many clues as to why Maddie is like she is and how she meet each person in her family. I can’t wait for the second book . I am totally invested in this Mysterious, Thriller, Roller Coaster , life of Maddie.
I was hooked from the very beginning of this book .I devoured this book in one day. The author has done such a great of making the transition of the scenes from past to the present very smooth. The book flowed so seamlessly together. I was so glad to take a chance and read this authors debut book. I look forward to seeing what happens in the next book.
I love the twists and turns in this book! I was so hooked! Emotional and twisty for sure. Some people don’t like flashbacks because they can get confusing….but let me tell you, these are necessary. Nothing overdone here. Some BDSM themes along with suspense. Maddie is such a great, relatable character and you’ll be wanting more. Luckily book 2 in the duet is already out!
