4.25 out of 5 stars...Many of you have read Charade and Fascade by Nyrae Dawn, Masquerade is the third book in the series.  I really enjoyed the love story between Colt and Cheyanne and Delaney and Adrian in those books so I was pretty excited to open this one up on the Kindle!  I knew this story was going to focus on Maddox the older brother of Delaney and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  When he appeared in Faade he really just pissed me off.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually really like his character now!The story alternates POV between Maddox and the lead female character Bee.  I was so excited to find that I really loved Bee.  She is not your typical female lead.  She doesn’t rely on anyone for anything and takes life into her own hands.  She is a really strong, independent woman, not your damsel in distress. I also loved that she was not typical in the looks department either.  Sometimes heroines come across described as Barbie dolls.  Bee is tattooed and pierced; and owns her own tattoo parlor, Masquerade.  She is really quite bad ass.  I loved her.  She of course, has a troubling history and is just trying to figure out her place in life.If you have read Faade you know a lot of Maddox’s back story.  His struggles with his parents and his need to protect Laney.  But you don’t see the full picture of it until this story unfolds.  He really tries so hard to repress all his feelings about everything that went down with his parents that he can’t ever be happy about anything.  When he finally gets an apprenticeship at Masquerade (thanks to his little sister), things really start to heat up!I really enjoyed this book and think Nyrae Dawn is a gifted author.  I will keep her on my radar so I can read all of her new releases.  If you like a book with lots of back stories, broken individuals coming into their own and heartache and happiness all mixed together, one click this book today!  All of her books in this series are priced under $4.00.  That to me is the perfect price for a few hours away from your own reality.  Happy reading!
