AHHH, another wonderful book by Nyrae Dawn. Her writing style is beautiful. I am not one who loves changes in POV, but she does a great job with it. This story starts where the last one stops. You do not have to read the first two books because there is enough explanation in this one to catch you up (but I would, they are just as good).This story is about Maddox and Bee. Maddox is Laney's brother who follows her to this small town to protect her from the world in his mind. Both characters (Maddox and Bee) are suffering from their past and are letting it affect their future of how they see the world, love, friends and family. They both trust no one, do not believe in love or do not believe they are worthy of love. They cannot see what is right in front of them. Bee opens a tattoo shop where Maddox wants to be an apprentice. Maddox and Bee hook up at the end of the second book for a "one night stand" and Maddox does not realize that Masquerade is Bee's shop. I don't want to tell you what their demons are because that is part of what is so great about this book.Their chemistry is "hot" and how they learn how to trust is beautiful. I truly fell for Maddox and now have a new "book boyfriend". Watching his metamorphosis from a disconnected, cold brother and friend to a caring individual who is worth loving is really something. It is wonderful to watch the change in his relationship with is sister and her boyfriend "Adrian" (from the second book). How he deals with the grief and guilt from the past about Adrian, his mom, dad and sister is heartbreaking... You will shed a few tears in this book, so get the kleenex ready.Bee was kidnapped at the age of 4 by a couple and was found 9 years later. She is dealing with what is true love, who are her real parents, who is she. Her name was Leila at 4, Coral while captive and Bee now. She has so much guilt over not being who she use to be, loving her captive parents because that is all she knew and trying to love parents that she thought were dead.Maddox and Bee end up comforting each other through more than just "sex" and as they both start to realize this, try and not run from it. It is a daily struggle as they both realize they are truly lonely and need love.Please read this book, it is beautifully well written. The only thing I am disappointed with is that it is over and so is the series (I think). I cannot wait until her next book, Great author, you will not be disappointed.
