Firstly , I would like to thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC of INNER CORE.Secondly, I would also like to mention that this book review is totally unbiased.Towards the end of Layers (Stark 1), Daniel reads an earth-shattering article about his most guarded private life, jumps to conclusions and accuses Haley of revealing details only she have could known. Although she denies being the culprit, he doesn't want to listen to reason and breaks up with her. Broken hearted, she carries on with her plans to visit her parents and while there, she finds out that her brother is missing in action. When Daniel realizes he has made the biggest mistake of his life, he tries ringing her mobile which to his consternation, is disconnected. As he has a vague idea where she might be, he rings Hayley's best friend and flat mate, Tasha. She tells him where she is, gives him her parents' phone number and she also informs him that Hayley's brother is missing in action in Afghanistan. By using his influences in higher places, he manages to get information about her brother's platoon and books a flight to...This is exactly where Inner Core kicks in. Haley can't believe her eyes when Daniel gets out of the taxi in front of her parents' house. Emotions run riot...I won't tell you where, and they promise each other to be more truthful and communicative in the future. Even though you've met Hayley's best friends in Layers, I must mention them again. Natasha, Ian and Haley are without a doubt, such a close-knit and self-made family, it makes one envious. Family underlined and inseparable! Tasha falls for Brad, a very dubious guy who just happens to have been one of Hayley's ex one night stands! This makes matters more complicated because he was also an associate of Daniel. And Ian! Ian is the life of the party. Extrovert, loving and always ready to give good advice. After a night of debauchery, he is thrown out of his home by his landlady, and between him and Tasha, cajole Hayley into moving in with Daniel, something he'd been asking her to do for ages. Consequently, all Hayley's insecurities are uncovered. I don't want to share more of this tremendous love story because it wouldn't be fair!Ms. Ehrlich has not only an incredible ability of conveying the smallest detail regarding her characters' personalities, she has been able to make us visually see their physical appearances too. Most writers in these type of romances, chose the dark haired, blue eyed boys and alpha male. Not her. Daniel is nothing but this. Strong personality, definitely, more down to earth though and with a lot of soft spots in between. I just loved his scar on his lip and the colour of his hair, everything about him. Haley is, what can I say? Outstanding, sexy, and if I was a guy, I'd say gorgeous! Inner Core is an apt title for a book that needs to be read. My personal recommendation to the author is to simply to keep up the good work. Bravo!
