About the Book
The first time Cassius Ulysses Costas met Alice Paradis, she was in a string bikini and filling up a long line of boats that were there just to see her. She was eighteen and every man’s wet dream.
Even his.
For the longest time, he went out of his way to stay as far away from her as he could get without actually taking his eyes off of her. For years, he was the better person. He played his hand close, and not a single person would know just how obsessed he was with her.
Then he goes to prison and comes out a man that couldn’t care less about anyone or anything, least of all what someone thought of him and his actions. But not one second while he was behind bars did he forget about Alice.
He tries to stay away. For a few long months, he fights his every instinct to make her his. But, as if the universe is conspiring against him, Alice is thrown into his path time after time, instance after instance.
And his resolve is waning. Fast.
In one last ditch effort to stay away, he walks away, hoping making her mad enough will force her to do the work for him. However, when Alice is attacked, it isn’t Cassius’s harsh words she remembers, but the way he makes her feel safe.
Soon, the very last thing he’ll do is let her walk away. He did the right thing, and that didn’t work out. Now, it’s time for him to embrace the wrong.

MY REVIEW
Alice has been crushing on Cassius since she was young but never managed to grab his attention (or so she thinks). Now he's out of prison and back in her orbit, a pilot out of the marina her family owns and where she works, and he acts like he hates her. She's crushed on him for so long that she's not sure she knows how to act without those feelings taking up space in her heart. What will it take to get her to move on? Or to get him to take notice?
Cassius has kept Alice at arm's length for so long, and now that he's out of prison, he's determined to keep doing so. He's not the man for her, can't give her what she wants, and if he keeps her out of his heart, he won't have to suffer if he loses her like he's lost everyone he's loved. But when something horrific happens to her, will it take him out of his fog and make him realize what she means to him? Will he make his move or is it too late?
Alice and Cass were a rollercoaster of who would break first. It was completely obvious to the reader that Cass was as gone over her as she was over him, but he was extra stubborn about admitting it. Until his hand was forced. I loved every page and I was just waiting for them to finally get together. Of course I wish it had been under better circumstances, but the way things worked out is a great way to tell a story. The whole MC is there for support, and I'm seriously anxious for the next guy to fall in love when The Voices are Back releases.
