Happily ​ever after doesn’t come easy. But for love, it’s always worth the fight.

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest. Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past threatens to turn their world upside down.

Dangerous people from his father’s world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time. And they’re willing to do anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back. Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this new threat arises. Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well. She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s only option. And this… (tovább)

M. Leighton: Up to Me

Ebben a reszben Cash/Nash probalja elsimitani a maffiaval a konfliktust, Cash es Olivia kapcsolata pedig tovabb melyul. Nehez anelkul irni rola, hogy egybol elspoilerezne az ember.
Nekem kicsit nehez megfogni, miert, mikor es hogyan szeretett bele Cash Oliviaba. Mi annyira kulonleges benne, hogy 5 perc utan szereti es megbizik benne egy verbeli rosszfiu? Nekem ennel egy kicsit tobb leiras kellett volna, hogy aterezzem. Nem igazan hiszek a szerelem elso latasra es egybol meg is javulo szoknyavadaszok tartalmu tortenetekben.
A tobbi viszont rendben volt – szeretem az irono stilusat, erdekes volt a tortenet, a humor is a helyen volt, bar kicsit kevesebb, mint az elso kotetben.

Hááát… Nekem az első könyv sokkal jobban tetszett. Nem azt mondom h nem volt jó de jobbnak gondoltam. Azt hittem több lesz benne az izgalom meg a vége is csattanósabb lesz. De sajnos nem lett. Az elrablós részt (mindkettőt) szerintem sokkal részletesebben és izgalmasabban is leh lehetett volna írni. Nekem ebben a könyvben Nash nem igazán jött be. Valamilyen szinten őt is meg lehet érteni, sok minden ment kersztül. Azt viszont nem igazán értem, hogy miért viselkedett úgy Cashel. Na mindegy…
Szóval mindent összevetve jó könyv volt. Várom a magyar megjelenését, hogy úgy is elolvassam, hátha megváltozik a véleményem.

“What? Ginger’s gorgeous!”
“If you’re into that sort of thing.”
“What’s ‘that sort of thing’?”
“Well, she’s just so… blond and so… plastic and so… feline.”
Olivia laughs. “I thought guys liked that kind of thing.”
“Some do.”
“Well evidently you do, too. Taryn is all those things, too, only Ginger has a personality.”
“Okay, then I used to like that kind of thing. Now I like your kind of thing. It’s the very best kind of thing. Makes all other kinds of things look like shit.”

“Girlfriend?” By the look on his face, you’d think I suggested he was having sex with animals. “That’s trouble I don’t need. All that emotional shit just messes up great sex and someone to have a few laughs with.”

When he lifts his head, his eyes meet mine. I’m not sure what they say, but I think my heart understands.

So I’ve made some mistakes, made some bad judgments. Is that so terrible? Is that so abnormal?

“Not all guys that look a certain way or dress a certain way or act a certain way are the same. You’ve tried all my life to drive me toward the kind of guy you wanted me to be with. You made me feel as though there was something wrong with me for liking anyone who rode a motorcycle or drove a muscle car or played in a band. But there was never anything wrong with them, Mom. They just weren’t for me. I wouldn’t have wanted to end up with any of them. Not now. But you don’t see that. You don’t see that now and you didn’t see that then. You could never be like a normal mother, one who holds her daughter when she cries and tells her that one day she’ll find Mr. Right, that one day love will be worth it. That was just beyond you. You had to do your best, at every possible opportunity, to convince me that the only way I’d ever be happy would be with a guy like Lyle, one who is so focused on his job and his money that he doesn’t have time for love. But Mom, if falling in love means risking getting hurt, then I’m okay with that. Because finally, for once, I’ve found someone worth the risk. I wouldn’t have missed out on Cash for the world, Mom. Did it ever occur to you that it took all those heartbreaks, all those tears, all those failed attempts to be able to recognize something real when I found it? Can’t you just be happy for me and leave us in peace?”

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life since I left home seven years ago, it’s that I can trust no one.
And that includes family.

“Stop walking so fast, you crazy foreigner!” I mutter.
In front of me, Gavin tips his head back and loud whispers up into the night, “Walk faster, psycho sheila.”

Within seconds, the door swings open to reveal my mother, standing just inside, wrapped in a high-dollar silk robe. From her perfectly coiffed (yes, even in the middle of the night) sable hair to her sharp blue eyes to her thin arms crossed over her chest, she oozes disapproval. Essentially, she looks much like she did last time I saw her a couple of years ago. She’s pretty much always disapproving. And she’s pretty much always the same age. No doubt she spends thousands of dollars on preservatives. Eventually I’ll catch up to her and we’ll be the same age.

Up close, I can see how this guy differs from movie mobsters. It’s not his face. It’s scarred, but not too grotesquely. It’s not his size. His heft is intimidating, but not overly much since I’m the same height and obviously in much better shape. It’s not his words. They’re direct and innocuous enough.
No, it’s his eyes that make my palms sweat. They’re cold and dead. If I ever had to describe to someone what the eyes of a killer look like, I’d describe these. Not the color or the shape, but what they say. They say he doesn’t mind doing his job and that he probably never has. They’re the eyes of someone who’s never had a soul, someone who was probably born into this world doing horrible things to innocent people inside his head until he was old enough to do it in reality.
