Liam Masters had been 17 and Zoe Ford had been 15 the last
time they had seen each other. Now Liam is back in her
life, 12 years later. He runs his own business and has
made a life for himself. Zoe is working as a tattoo artist
and singing at nightclubs, hiding her talent for art. Zoe
had wanted Liam to be the boy to take her virginity, but
instead he left her. She opted for the first guy to pay
her any attention and several drinks and a night in the
park to prove she was attracted. When Liam walks back into
her life it brings up too many bad memories she isn't ready
to face.
Liam Masters had left Zoe 12 years ago because it was the
right thing to do. His father was an alcoholic who beat
him and his mother. He did not want marriage or children,
he didn't want to prove to be his father's son. Coming
across a naked painting of Zoe he looks her up and demands
to know what it is she is doing with her life. He promises
himself he will only be a friend, but he's still in love
with her. They both have to face demons from their past
concerning each other and demons they've experienced apart
from one another. But once they do can they finally let
down there guards?
A great read! I love reunited lovers stories. I also love
a troubled heroine and hero. I think it's magical when
they both have monsters in their closets, but neither have
ever faced until they get together. A story that will have
you turning the pages just to see what is going to happen
next, between Zoe and Liam, between Zoe and her career,
between Zoe and her family, between Liam and his abusive
father. In this story you are able to see the characters
grow, you see them as teenagers, you feel how they feel,
you learn as they learn, you're angry when they are angry,
and overall you just want to jump in the story and make
them see what's standing in front of them. Sarah Mayberry
truly is a gifted author and I can't wait for more of her
work. Mayberry knows how to heat up the pages.
Twelve years ago Zoe Ford let Liam Masters break her heart.
But now? There's not a chance. Zoe is as tough and wild as
they come. So when Liam shows up at her tattoo parlor, she's
more than ready to take him on again. That's not going to be
a hardship, since he's hotter than he ever was.
This
time she's staying in charge. And she's not going to
consider their score settled until he's hot, bothered and
begging for more! Then she'll move on as callously as he
left her. Unless all that deliciously bad sex is just too
good to give up….
