Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Jose and Chanda. He is a pledge to The Brotherhood and she is the woman that just might bring him to his knees. Jose’s family has been disgraced. They were nearly pushed out of existence. Now he is here to bring honor to his family and he will do whatever he has to to do that. He will play the game but he never bet on Chanda. She is the woman that could possibly bring him to his knees. These two have some of the most amazing chemistry. It bleeds off the pages. Jose is a protector. A man who will go to great lengths to avenge his family name but he really is a man that you are going to want for your very own. Chanda is a special kind of crazy. She is ruthless and she really is not afraid to show it. If she wants something she will have it by any means necessary. She actually would love to do nothing more than take over the Illicit Brotherhood. However she never saw Jose coming. He is the man that makes her feel things she has never felt before and could possible derail everything she has planned. They have quiet the taboo relationship or I guess I should say one night together that was just supposed to be that. She is so unlike anyone that he has ever met. He is always so calm, cool, and collected and she makes him lose all of that when she is around. He is dominant and possessive but at the very heart of him he is a protector. I was hooked on this book from the very first page and I didn’t lay it down. I devoured it. I have loved all the books in this series. You do not want to miss this book. If you haven’t read the first two books in this series, Pledge Your Loyalty and Smoke the Enemy, you need to do that first. While these books focus on different people, some things carry over from the story in the previous book. I promise you you need this book in your life.

Ashton Brooks is an author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult Romance. Her writing style is suspenseful and sometimes leads to heart-wrenching conclusions. With a background in forensic psychology she really goes for those investigative, dark and twisty feels. And of course, lots of love!
Brooks enjoys reading as much as writing. Television shows such as Criminal Minds, Scandal, and One Tree Hill are her go-to binge worthy series. She loves spending time with her friends and family with a good glass of beer or wine. If she isn’t reading or writing, Brooks is Pinteresting future home projects for her wonderful husband to accomplish.
Gail Haris believes in fairytales, love, and laughter as the best medicine. However, she enjoys writing. murders, laughter, and steamy happily ever afters.
She loves living in her small town in Southeast Missouri, and then taking adventures all over the world with her two wild and fierce princesses and Boo Bear aka her ultimate real-life book boyfriend and. high school sweetheart, Bobby.
When she’s not getting into mischief or scheming with her two girls, she’s busy coming up with crazy scenarios for her characters. Using coffee and her imagination, Gail writes contemporary romances that blend laughter and true love out of everyday chaos while incorporating her warped sense of humor and awkward charm. She writes in a variety of genres, including romantic comedy, romantic suspense, and new adult/coming of age romance.
Hopefully, by following her own dream of becoming an author, she can be an example to her daughters that dreams can become a reality.
Never stop believing in love, dreams, and yourself. And coffee…don’t forget the coffee and books.
