How old were you when you committed your first crime?
Or have you ever?
I was only thirteen.
The smell of moonshine still drifted in the air as Johnny and I turned around to watch the house and the man inside burn.
A noise from behind caused us to look back, revealing a girl with wide, curious eyes.
She wasn’t supposed to be there.
She wasn’t supposed to witness what me and Johnny did that … witness what me and Johnny did that day.
The truth is, I fell for Bexley Walker the moment she promised she’d never tell.
But our time together was short lived for I am who I’ve always been. A man on the wrong side of the law. I thought I could change for her, but we can’t outrun the truth that lies within us.
I am my father’s son. Born to be a criminal.
Now, because of me, we’re both in danger. Held against our will. Tied and locked in a room together, we are forced to relive the love we once shared.

WoW!!!
What a great beginning to this trilogy. This author has done a fantastic job building this story.
Danny and Bexley definitely have history. This story spans over many years giving us present and then back in years to give us the full history of what these two have been through that brought us to the current pickle they are in.
Although leaving us with one heck of a cliffy, its ok. This book gave us enough insight as to what kind of a ride we are in for!!
4.5 Stars
This is was an entertaining intro to the trilogy and I’m eager for more!
I enjoyed getting the backstory of Bones and Bexley, as twisted and tragic as their young love was. This is my first book by Paige P. Horne and I’ll be reading more for sure! She left this book wide open for the next (cliffhanger warning!) It was a steamy, at times slightly dark, and altogether suspenseful read–which is right up my alley.
The timeline moves back and forth and on occasion there was a flashback within a flashback. A fair amount of the sex scenes were during their teens, so that those two things threw me off, but I’m excited to finish the series and find out what happens
“I felt it when it wrapped around my veins, snaking and fusing itself to me. That was the first time I ever had the urge to kill. And while it should have been a traumatic moment for a little kid, to me it was a lesson.
Don’t be the losing guy.”
I love love love this book hard! Omg this author has done it again! Only this time in the form of all our bad boy Danny aka Bones.
From start to finish I was hooked. My heart raced, I got attached, and when I got to the end and seen the words to be continued, I could’ve died! This author has left me sitting in the edge of my seat begging for book two already!
