Whoa!! So I was not as enthralled with this book until the last few chapters!! Talk about rapid fire, head spinning, non stop action. I felt as if I was in the crossfire and was trying to survive! The cliffhanger!! Holy cow, I must start the last book immediately!!
Shameful picked up right where Shameless left off. This is the second book in the trilogy and must be read in order!! I don’t want to give too much away so I will keep this short.
Lucia was no longer in the dark, she remembered it all. She knows who Noah really was. Can Lucia forgive him or has he lost her for good?
My gears were turning, I had so many theories going through my head. I can’t wait to find out which one was correct, if any at all!!
Picking up where Shameless left off, Shameful was packed with surprises, assassins, secrets, and delicious sexy action! And yes, I’m still crushing on Matthias! Talk about layers and secrets! This story ends in a cliffy too, but makes a good set up for book three!
OMG, Shameful is even better than Shameless! It’s got more surprises and twists and turns, more steam, and more emotions roiling around. And damn, that cliffy?! Even more of a nail biting shock than the one in Shameless.
Lucia and Noah have finally come out and admitted their feelings to each other and their relationship is able to come out into the open. Lucia had to fight like hell to get them to that point, though. After she got over the revelation from Shameless, she realized she couldn’t be without Noah.
“And Lucia knew this was what she wanted. He was what she wanted. She just needed to convince him that he wanted to keep her.”
Noah fights his feelings, though, still thinking his past makes him someone not good enough for Lucia, who is all light and goodness. But, he finally gives in, even if it’s unwillingly.
“I couldn’t stay away from you if I tried.” “Then why are you trying” she whispered. “Because I know the fire will consume us.” But when he gives in and claims her, he has no plans of ever letting her go. “Be sure, Lucia. Because, if I have you, I’m never letting you go.” She met his gaze directly. “I’m sure, Noah. I love you.”
But, there’s still someone out there trying to kill Lucia and Noah is more determined than ever to protect her. Just as Lucia is more determined than ever to get answers about what happened the day Rafe was killed. I like how Lucia finally got Noah to tell her more about his past, and even the day when Rafe was killed. Keeping secrets from each other is no way to get a new relationship off the ground, and Lucia knows it so she demands the truth from Noah.
“We established that I love you, and you love me. That means no secrets.”
But, when Lucia finds out just what the truth is at the end during that crazy cliffhanger, she is floored and has no idea what to do with it. And it’s apparently (maybe) a truth that Noah doesn’t know, or at least a truth he hasn’t told her.
Sigh…now I’m really annoyed that I have to wait for Unashamed in June. It can’t come soon enough!
This book is action packed from beginning to end! This book has it all: an amazing love story, a protective alpha hero, and a beautiful strong heroine. There is intrigue, danger, and suspense. There are bad guys, good guys, and some that you aren’t sure if they are bad or good. I have to say that I was kept guessing right from the first page. And the ending! I’m not fond of cliff hangers, but this one definitely makes me want to come back for more!
Noah and Lucia are an amazing couple. As strong as they are individually, they become even more so when they are together. They have the foundation for an amazing relationship that will only grow better as time goes on. I enjoyed seeing how they have handled what was thrown at them. I can’t wait to see how they handle what must be coming next!
All in all, another fabulous addition to the series!
