Jade
Jade’s young life was tough. After her mother died during childbirth and her
father could no longer look after her, she was placed in foster care where she
stayed for the next ten years. She grew up feeling unloved and unwanted as she
was passed around from one screwed up home to the next.
Things began to look up for her when she was adopted by a wealthy socialite at
the age of eleven. Sometimes though, things aren’t always what they seem. Jade
didn’t know it at the time, but her new adoptive mother had big plans for her,
and spent the next seven years grooming Jade for that role.
Jade learnt early in life that she couldn’t rely on anyone but herself. Instead
of letting her circumstances beat her, she took all the negatives she’d been
dealt, and used them to her advantage. She grew up to be a strong, successful,
determined and independent woman. She was a loner by choice.
The only thing lacking in her life was companionship and love. She’d never
experienced it, so she didn’t know what she was missing, until she had a
one-night-stand with a handsome stranger. One night, that would change everything.
Brock
Brock grew up privileged. He had everything going for him. Money, looks, charm,
success and an endless array of beautiful women. He wasn’t interested in
commitment. To him women were easy. They practically threw themselves at his
feet. All they wanted was to do something nobody had ever managed before. Snare
the hot, rich bachelor.
Then he met Jade. She was like a breath of fresh air. A challenge. Nothing like
the women he was used too. Their one night together ignited something within
him. A burning desire to own her, possess her, but Jade had other plans. Nobody
says no to Brock Weston, nobody.
He’s
left wondering about a woman he knows he can never have. But, when fate brings
them together again, will he get what he wants? Will he be able to claim the
unattainable? Or will her secrets crush him, and destroy any chance they have
of being together?

EXCERPT:
After tightening the ribbon, I admire my ensemble in the mirror. It
looks gorgeous.
‘Jade,’ I hear Brock call softly, after knocking on the cubicle door.
‘Yes.’
‘Can I see now?’
The hopefulness in his voice brings a smile to my face again. Without
replying, I unlock and open the door slightly. He pops his head in and the look
on his face does something to me. I’m so lost in it, I don’t even realise when
he pushes the door open further, worming his way inside and turning the latch
to relock it.
‘What are you doing?’ I whisper.
‘Sweet Jesus,’ is all he says as his arms wrap around my waist, drawing
my body towards his. ‘You look incredible. We’re definitely buying this.’
‘You like?’ I ask as he gropes at my arse.
‘I fucking love. Turn around.’
I do as he asks.
‘Christ,’ he groans as his fingers skim up the outside of my legs until
they’re resting on my hips. In the reflection, I see his eyes planted firmly on
my behind. He takes a step forward, rubbing his body against mine. When his
gaze meets mine in the mirror there’s pure desire in his eyes. Nobody has ever
looked at me the way he does. Nobody.
His hands encircle my waist as he draws me closer, pressing into my
back. ‘What are you doing to me?’ he murmurs as his lips graze over my
shoulder. I have no idea, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing he’s doing to
me.
I moan softly, resting my head against his chest while his mouth trails
a path up my neck. One of his hands palm my breast through the corset, and the
other moves down between my legs. I’m so lost in his touch that I totally
forget we’re still in the dressing room at the lingerie store.
I’m pulled back into reality when I hear the tearing of fabric. ‘Brock,’
I say, when my eyes fly open to see him shoving the now ruined panties I was
just wearing into his pocket. ‘I haven’t even paid for them yet.’
‘Shhh,’ he whispers in my ear as the hand on my breast moves up to cover
my mouth. ‘I’m going to fuck you now. I can’t wait another second.’ My eyes
widen at his comment. Has he lost his mind? We can’t have sex in here. I
see his other hand in the reflection of the mirror disappear behind me and the
distinct sound of a zipper rings out in the silence that has now fallen over
us.
My stance widens automatically. My head knows what we’re about to do is
wrong, but apparently my vagina didn’t get that memo.
‘Do you even realise how sexy you are?’ he whispers as his hand finds
its way between my legs again.
‘Mmmm,’ I moan into the palm of his hand, my body trembling with
anticipation.
‘I’ll remove my hand if you promise to be quiet. Okay?’
I nod. I still can’t believe we’re going to do this.
‘Place your hands on the mirror,’ he demands. I do exactly as he asks.
It’s ironic how I’ve hated being controlled my entire life, yet I have no
qualms about following his orders. The way Brock takes control is sexy.
He rubs his cock between my legs as I push my hips towards him. I’m no
longer concerned about what we’re doing. I want to feel him inside me.
I bite down on my lip when he slides inside me, trying hard not to make
a noise.
‘Christ you feel amazing,’ he breathes as he pulls out slightly before
pushing all the way back in.
‘Oh god.’ One of his hands grasps my hip, holding me in place, while the
other tugs on my hair, tilting my head back so his mouth can cover mine.
‘I said no noise.’
My eyes roll back in my head as he deepens the kiss before picking up
the pace. He slams into me in short, hard strokes. It feels incredible. The
risk of the sales assistant discovering us only seems to heighten the
experience.
It doesn’t take long for him to have me on the edge. ‘I’m … I’m,’ is all
I get to say before we’re interrupted.
‘Is everything all right in there?’ I hear the skanky sales assistant
ask. Shit. There’s no holding back. I’m coming whether I like it or not.
‘Ahh,’ I moan into Brock’s mouth as my body starts to shudder and my
orgasm hits me full force. His hand quickly moves from my hip, snaking around
my waist, using his strength to hold me up. When he pulls out of the kiss, I
see a smile tug at his lips as his eyes lock with mine in the mirror.
‘We’re fine,’ he says in a breathless tone that has him sounding like
he’s just run a damn marathon.
I
see his eyes clench shut as his movements become more desperate. I can feel my
vagina still pulsing around him and I know he’s about to come as well. Shit,
could his timing be any worse?

My Review:
This is not the book I was expecting at all and it was a
very pleasant surprise! This book, unlike any other book, left me completely
satisfied (no pun intended). Everything came to a close and was answered. I
always wonder about certain things that happen but this book gave you a few
months jumps at the end so we could see what was going on in 6 months. I didn’t
feel like I was sad after this book was over because the ending was just
perfect!
I thought Jade was an amazing person. For all the hardships
she faced in life she wasn’t cold or bitter. She seemed to just take one day at
a time. Her positive attitude is one thing that really made the book and I
wouldn’t have blamed her for a “poor me” type attitude. M was the PERFECT
villain. She was quietly vicious. This was my first book by JL Perry and I’d
definitely read another if this is what they’re like!
I received
an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
