*If you have not read the first book Silent No More, please do not read this review, it will have spoilers. It is best to read the first book in this series.*I absolutely loved the first book in this series and was not so anxiously waiting for this one to come out. If you read book 1 you know we were left with a h*** of a Cliffhanger. Silent Guilt is the conclusion to Nick and Shannon’s story but this time it is told through Nick’s POV. Ok we all know that Nick is a total dominant, alpha sexy dirty talking sex god, so can you imagine what goes through his mind!!! N.E. Henderson did not disappoint, she hit this one right out of the park. I loved everything about this book.At the end of the first book, Nick walks away from a pregnant Shannon. He is not able to get over what his father had done to Shannon all those years ago and the guilt he has for not seeing the truth. In Silent Guilt we see Nick and Shannon relationship take on many ups and downs, truths, secretes, love, anger, distrust and really really HOT NICK SEX. Nick knows he has messed up when he realizes that Shannon is gone, not even his own sister told him the truth about their father or that Shannon has left.Nick, what can I say about Nick, only that I loved him in Silent No More and after reading this one, he has become my ultimate BBF. He is an extremely sexy, he stops at nothing to get Shannon back. He is confused because he never knew he wanted a child but he knows he does not want anything to happen to it and wants Shannon and him to be ok. Nick is a loving man, he loves just as intense as he does everything in his life. Because of Nick’s Dominance, he tends to be an a****** at times, and pushes Shannon to hard. He knows he messed up and throughout the book is tries to become a better man. It is hard to read Nick’s thoughts because he feels that his father raped Shannon because of something that happened in Nicks past. He has to try and find a way to forgive himself and let go of the guilt or else he can lose the people who matter to him the most.“You don’t know what anything has been like for me. You left. You walked out of the f****** door like it didn’t; matter. Like I didn’t matter. Like we didn’t matter to you one bit. After everything we said and everything I told you. You left. You f****** left me.”“Don’t say that. I’m sorry okay? But don’t think for a f****** minute that you don’t matter to me. You matter more than anyone ever has or ever f****** will.”Shannon is the same feisty woman we got in the first book, but she is also understanding, loving and b***** with Nick when she needs too. Shannon does not mind being dominated in the bedroom but she does not let and will not let Nick push her around in other aspects of their relationship. She knows Nick is keeping something from her and while she understands, she also lets him know that he will have to tell her eventually. She was strong in book 1 when she told Nick the truth about what happened with Nick and his father and she has become stronger because of that. She is not ashamed of what happened. She has trouble sleeping and has nightmares but to me she became a spokeswoman for women who suffered sexual abuse; she moves on slowly and takes control of her life.“Yeah, I know that, but what am I supposed to call him? I’m not calling him an it.”“Oh, well, I’ve settled on my minion, but that’s my word. You can’t use it.”“I’m not calling our baby a minion and neither are you, d*** it.” My baby is not a f****** minion.“I’ll call my baby anything I want. Get over it, Nick.”“He’s not a f****** minion.”Nick and Shannon are great together; they bring out the best in each other. Sexually of the charts (SMOKING HOT). Nick knows how to work it in the bedroom (WET PANTIES LADIES).“Like the taste?”“Do you even have to ask? You’re my favorite meal to eat, baby? And you’re te best thing I ever smelled. Nothing can compare to this scent.”“This is what you do to me, you make my d*** desperate for this wet, p**** right here. It aches for you. Your pretty little wet p**** is the only thing that can make it stop.”(MOTHER H***)I really loved the secondary characters. Nikki (Nicks sister) and Jase (Nicks best friend) are great, supportive, loving, caring and funny as h***. The slurry mole troll b****, Teresa is far from gone and so is Chaney. I just knew what happened in book 1 had more to do with the story and with Nick, true to is alpha male form takes control!!!“Don’t throw my phone. I just replaced it the son of b**** yesterday.”“Can you people pipe the f*** down or go into another f****** room?”“Oh come the f*** on, you two take that s*** the f*** home.”“Stop the f*** now. This, whatever it is you think could happen between us, isn’t going to happen. I have a girlfriend and she isn’t you. She won’t ever be you. So you can stop now and we can forget it. If not, then you will be looking for another job. Now, do you understand?”“What you’re back with her, that b***** who screwed your father? Are you serious?”“Were you in Vegas taking photographs for your next project or were you there because you went behind my back and took Jeffrey Chaney on as client.”“First of all, I did not go behind your back on anything. You broke up with me. You recall that?”“Secondly, who I take on as a client, who I contract with for a job is my business, not yours.”“Wrong baby, because it is my business, you are my business. Every mother****** inch of this is my business and on one else’s.”This was an amazing conclusion to Nick and Shannon’s story. NE Henderson has delivered another great read, and the wait for Book 2 was absolutely worth it. I was not disappointed at all. I can’t wait to see some of Nick and Shannon in other books, which I assume the next will be Jase’s and Nikki’s. God I hope so, because what the author showed us in this book, their story is going to be one h*** of steamy book.*received a copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
