Title: Dear Diamond
Author: Stephie Walls
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb

One unfortunate decision had bought me a life sentence, serving time alongside the gang I’d worked years to avoid. My affiliation with Union 21 had wreaked havoc all around me.

Then came Diamond.

In a world filled with neon-pink lights, glitter, and rhinestones, she was a flawless gem. While she didn’t realize her worth, I recognized her value—priceless.

I’d stop at nothing to have her, even if that meant going against the most powerful drug lord around.

Friends come and go, but Diamond is forever.

Author Bio


Stephie Walls is a lover of words—the more poetic the better. She lives on the outskirts of Greenville, South Carolina in her own veritable zoo with two dogs, three cats, the Mister, and Magoo (in no preferential order).

She would live on coffee, books, and Charlie Hunnam if it were possible, but since it’s not, add in some Chinese food or sushi and she’s one happy girl.

Dacon, Illinois…you either love it there and grow up to be in the Union 21 working under the Silvano family…. or you live your entire life wanting to do good in school in hopes that one day you can move out of Dacon, Illinois.

Ryker has grown up being best friends with Chase, the second in line to take over Union 21. The Silvano family has treated Ryker like one of their own. Ryker had it all going for him, good grades, scholarship, etc. But one night being in the wrong place at the wrong time…changed his life forever. 

Nikki aka Diamond has been thrown under the bus and as a result of that she has found herself performing at Club Swank to pay off a debt she knew nothing about. 

This is a story about two people who desire to make a good life out of what’s been dealt to them…yet life keeps throwing them curve balls. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions and some pretty steamy scenes. 

I really enjoyed this one. It was a quick paced smooth sailing book to read




The story just touches your soul and hopes for the characters to find love in a dismal place. 
Sensitively written, beautifully penned, characterizing love's power and tenacity to defy all odds. Against all written rules and loyalties, an unusual couple gets thrown together due to violent circumstances and is a testament that not all charming princes need a white steed. Some rescuers drive a Harley and are wearing an armour of tattoos. But they save damsels in distress for sure!!!

description

"I’d seen this neighborhood steal countless young lives and marry them with drugs, sex, and gangs. As lighthouses warned sailors away from rocks— Swank held the same power for devastation." 
Dacon, IL has projects like any big city and gang controlled areas. One such is Union 21 which controls the darkened streets and a neon lit, smoky club called the SWANK. Here the patrons come for strippers, sleazy shows and drugs. All the girls are there because they owe the Silvanos. Money, bodies and souls.

description

"He was dangerous. But our stars had aligned, and now, I had to trust him . My heart screamed yes. My head yelled no. In the end, intuition gave way to desire, and the remote possibility of a happily ever after outweighed the more distinct probability of a painful demise. Ryker twisted me into knots that I didn’t know could be tied. I’d become a bumbling idiot who blindly went into the lion’s den with a steak tied around my neck." 
Diamond -Nikki Wilson is one such innocent girl trapped in Jesse Silvanos cage and is forced to strip to save her mom. Silvanos owe Ryker Davis and he's ready to cash in. The path to salvation and freedom is not easy but they don't have any choice.

description

Ryker was a perfect Alpha, morally steadfast and very clear in his goals, not easily swayed he is a Protector! 
Instant attraction leads to heated skins and boiling lust. They get intimate after trying to resist the magnetic initial attraction. But hearts are entwined and skirting love becomes harder

description

“I’m not going to try to get in your pants.”
“Even if you wanted to, it would never happen,”
“If I wanted it, you wouldn’t want to resist it.”
 

I liked the characters and was so mad at Tabitha, I mean how could a mom do that!!! I'm thinking chase is not done with Ryker and hopefully more books will follow.
Enjoyable read with lots of unexpected turns and surprises along the way!
4 stars for Unicorn woman
