Destructive Silence is the debut novel from L.U. Ann, and what a debut it is! This is the first book in what promises to be one heart breaking, ugly cry inducing series.Lacey Edwards is a heroine whose life is anything but perfection. Her troubled past is a stark contrast to the posh life her best friend Becca Fox lives. I loved how this duo was exact opposites of one another, yet something about their friendship worked. Becca served as a source of humor when situations got emotional. Her spunk and sarcasm provided comic relief to balance out the heavier subject matter.One night while out at a club, Lacey meets Caine Rogers. There is definite chemistry between the pair, but it's not instant-love. Their interactions are steamy to shocking. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but my jaw-dropped repeatedly.I can't reveal a lot about the plot without giving a way every spoiler imaginable. I think what I loved most about this story was how gritty, raw, and real it is. There's nothing sugar coated about Lacey's less than perfect life. I definitely went through a roller coaster of emotions while reading this story. The plot twists were shocking, the sex scenes were beyond hot, and the drama was turbulent. This is not a fairy tale romance with rainbows and butterflies, and I loved every bit of it!The book cover is beyond gorgeous and the story behind the stunning image will leave you breathless. If you're looking for a novel that is going to leave you saying WTF and nursing a massive book hangover, get to one-clicking Destructive Silence. It's a definite step away from HEAs, but I have hope that by the end of the series Lacey will find her happily ever after. I cannot wait for the next installment of Lacey Edwards' story.
