Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.

I read my first book by her last month and was immediately hooked. Rent Free has stayed Rent Free in my brain ever since. The masterful writing style, taut narrative, action packed and fast paced, she didn't let my attention stray and I like that in my authors. Plus her heroines are kick Ass. I was a goner.
So here i am, having just finished my second book. A story about a cop and an emergency dispatcher.
They both meet in veiled circumstances in a biker bar and obviously some nefarious, violent activity happens that has repercussions in both their lives. There's chemistry no doubt, sizzling between Gable and Athena from the first encounter. Age gap doesn't diminish the burning flame of desire between them, even a bit.
"Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest."
A stalker in the background forces them in close proximity, providing a fertile environment for the lusty seeds to grow in full fledged love tree.
There's something super sexy about a cop hero. We know he's alpha, he's buff, he can protect. And even though she takes care of herself without help, sometimes you need a hug or an embrace and that's exactly what she gets. Plus point, she's asian(Japanese descent) so I love when authors include diversity and representation in books.
“Did you know,” I coughed, tasting blood on my tongue. “That when you die, your brain lives for another seven minutes, replaying its best memories?”
“You’ll be in all of those memories.”
But danger is lurking just around the corner, lying in wait to stab their budding relationship. I just loved Athena. She's strong, decisive and survivor. Carter family is all in police business so are around Gable providing support. Athena misses hers but what she finds is far worse. She'd rather not have them, tahn betray her cause they're evil Liars.
I'm on a roll and grabbing all her books and binge-reading them.
5 stars for Sleepy girl with busy life
