What can I say about Used by Lynetta Halat?WOW. PHENOMENAL. BEST OF 2014.I think it’s the best book she has written so far (Yes, I LOVED her other books, too.).Denver has a reputation as a slut, using sex to escape her damaged upbringing. Greer has loved Denver ever since childhood and is a willing casualty in her quest to escape reality. Ransom is a gentleman in the streets but a man whore in the sheets. This isn’t like any love triangle you’ve read before.Passion. Angst. Lust. Anger. Lust. Drama. Betrayal. Rip your heart out. Claw at your chest. Ugly cry. Love. Hate. Beg for more.This story is dark and twisted and I absolutely loved every single word of it. I was sucked in from the beginning by Denver, this tough as nails female lead who is unapologetic, speaks her mind, and is impervious to the criticism and backlash against her. At least on the outside. I fell in love with her, my heart shattered for her, and I rooted for her to fight like hell to overcome the horrible adolescence she lived. She is one of my all time favorite female characters.The two males are opposites of each other. Greer has been Denver’s cornerstone since they were children. He knows the demons of her past and has stood by her side while she battled them all. Ransom is new to Denver’s life but is quickly taking residence in her fickle heart. He’s a complete alpha who is so fiercely protective of Denver and the potential he sees in her. Lynetta creates these two men who are both capable of providing Denver with a fairy tale ending. It’s hard to choose as both men are swoon worthy, but I’m completely Team Ransom. He also found a home on my list of favorite book boyfriends.I want to shout from the rooftops for everyone to get their hands on this book and give it a chance. From start to finish I loved every unexpected twist, each character strength and weakness, and all the steamy sexual tension (I’m talking Four-Alarm Fire here!). Used by Lynetta Halat is a MUST READ and at the top of my list of all time favorite books!
