Masquerade is the third and I believe final book in Nyrae Dawn's Games series. When I learned this book was about Maddox, I was thrilled. Maddox is Laney's brother from the second book Facade and I loved his protective nature and bad boy attitude in that story.Maddox is that perfect alpha male, bad boy who is broken and needs saved. Unfortunately due to carrying misplaced guilt for his family's problems, he rarely shows emotion and keeps himself from getting close to others, until Bee. Bee is the owner of the only tattoo parlor in town and Maddox wants to be an apprentice there, unfortunately he was unaware of this fact when he became "shall we say, acquainted" with Bee the night before he tries to get the apprenticeship.Bee is a wonderful person to help Maddox. In some ways they are so much alike. Bee struggles with her identity due to past traumas. She is confused by the concept of love and as such is hesitant to let herself experience it. Both characters are rough around the edges and say what is on their minds. While working together it gets harder for them to deny the attraction and feelings that are between them. The tattoe scene at her home...OMG, loved it. Together they help each other express and get through the problems from their past and find a way to have a relationship.One of the best things about Masquerade is that we get more of Laney and Adrian in this book. It is no secret how much I loved Facade and I was deeply touched by their story. Their is continued drama for Maddox and Laney dealing with their mom and Maddox's struggle with his feelings brought me to tears. My emotions only intensified with the raw exchange that takes place between Maddox and Adrian.This book has it all: the passion, the emotion, and even lighter moments which will make you laugh. I loved the epilogue and how Dawn incorporates the titles of each book in the series into the ending...genious.Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
