Review: Stunning debut!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Love, lust, and betrayal explosively collide in Shaun Harmon's stunning debut novel.Using a first person narrative, Harmon exquisitely describes Marcus's sadness, anger, and confusion at the betrayal of his fiancée, Tami. Despondent and downhearted, Marcus's realistic reactions allow the reader to become fully engaged with this sympathetic character. Effectively using flashbacks and reminiscing, Harmon shows how misplaced trust and lies can destroy Marcus and Tami's relationship, which wasn't based on mutual respect and communication. Lusty and erotic scenes laced throughout the novel add to the raw emotion of the story. At times, the characters' palpable emotions, spurred by the intense situations, coupled with stunning plot twists, left me staring at my e-reader with a shocked "O" on my face.By the end, this well written dramatic novel left me emotionally spent but looking forward to future novels.I was provided a copy of the book by BTS eMag for purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review - all conclusions are my own responsibility.
