Blurb
“He believes I’m a temptation but doesn’t know he’s been mine long before I’ve been his.”


Iris
My whole life is a lie.
Driven by an obsessive crush, torrid desire, and treacherous secrets I hold dear to my heart.
Nobody is none the wiser.
Not my parents.
Not my best friends.
Not even my new fiancé.
Now, my house of cards is about to fall.
One carnal lie at a time.
And making them ruthlessly tumble is my fiancĂ©’s older brother.
Kian Singhania.
Enigmatic. Reclusive. Menacing.
A merciless lone wolf with a heart of ice.
The man I’ve craved and burned for from the shadows,
Whose lair I’ve dared to venture into without protection.
Everyone is scared I’ll be eaten alive. Except they don’t know that I want to be.
Because he’s not the hunter.
It’s me.

Kian
My life is solitary. My world is gray.
It’s how I prefer it.
Until she walks in.
Bringing with her all the colors I was missing.
My estranged brother’s fiancĂ©e.
Iris Mannan.
Young. Softhearted. An embodiment of sunshine.
Very, very, off-limits.
One minute, she didn’t exist to me. Now, she’s everywhere.
In my office. At my club. In my building. In my apartment.
She’s all I see. Breathe. Obsess about.
Because beneath her angelic face, she holds a darkness.
That I am drawn to and want to unleash and savor.
Craving her was inevitable.
Resisting her a necessity.
Stealing her from my brother—a dangerous calamity.

MY REVIEW



Iris has been obsessed and fascinated with Kian since she first laid eyes on him years ago. But now she's fake engaged to his estranged brother, so she's not supposed to be obsessed with him any longer. Of course, she is, and when she goes to work for him, that obsession grows to unbearable limits. She's seeing him for who he is, not that grumpy image he projects, and she's not only obsessed but falling deep in love with him. Her secrets, though, could be the end of them...


Kian's heart has been frozen for a long time. He doesn't do emotions or feelings, aside from projecting stoicism and grumpiness. Then this ray of...something in the form of Iris bulldozes her way into his life. Suddenly he's becoming obsessed with her, and it's not a good thing, because she's engaged to his brother, part of the family he's no longer a part of himself. He may not exactly love his brother, but he still knows she's as off-limits as one can be, even as he wants to claim every part of her, especially her heart. All the forced proximity is whittling away at his restraint, and he's minutes from snapping, her engaged status be damned!


Iris is such a cool little stalker! I love that she's the obsessed one, well, the FIRST one to be obsessed, and does not refrain in any way from crushing on him when she starts working for him. I knew Kian didn't stand a chance at resisting her for long, and quickly became as obsessed with her as she was with him. She gets him, sees him, in a way no one else does, just the first way she's absolutely perfect for him, and vice versa. There's an awful cliffhanger, though, and now I'm waiting, very impatiently, for Illicit Games, so I can find out how the author plans on getting this deliciously naughty couple out of the mess they were in at the end of Carnal Games.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
