"Darkness is the only thing I see. Ever since the day my life changed. The day that everything and everyone I held close to me ceased to exist. The day I lost it all and the demons of my past consumed my every waking moment.
I tried to keep others at arm’s length. Tried not to let my darkness taint them. Ruin them. Harm them. And whether I want to admit it or not, as much as I wish I could keep them locked out, they refuse to leave. Refuse to let me suffer alone.
If I hadn’t been so focused on keeping those demons from flying free, I wouldn’t have missed how one perfect angel was able to sneak her way under my skin—refusing to let go. Making me want things I don’t deserve.
She consumes me. Her beauty knows no end. The love she promises tempts me every time she’s near. But that pure heart that makes her MY Emmy is the one thing I’m convinced I’ll destroy if I ever let her close.
I’m a broken man. A broken man with too much darkness in his soul to ever let her light shine upon me. But even that doesn’t stop me from craving her with every single breath in my body."
This is the 5th and final book in the Corps Security series!
This is one of my favorite series, full of alpha males and seriously fierce ladies.
In this book we get to learn about Maddox and Emmy's story, which of course, we had been teased with since the beginning of the series.
The book starts with flashbacks all the way back to when Mad lost his leg and how horrible his family was to him growing up, and to when Emmy was learning to be a stripper at her parents' strip club (I totally didn't see that coming!).
The story however starts when they are both away from each other. Since the tragedy that had happened to the group of friends previously, Emmy can't take any more reminders of what once was and decides to go back to her parents and an abusive wannabe-husband (who only wants to be her husband so he can have the parents' club and seriously gave me the creeps whenever he was in a scene).
As would be expected, Emmy's return to her old life is very far from perfect or even bearable, and soon enough Maddox tracks her down and does the alpha macho version of taking her back home (super entertaining fights and steamy sex scenes included).
I obviously can't tell much more, because some chaos comes into their lives, one life is threatened, but all ends well for the couple, which to be honest, is all I ever want when I read a book!
I really loved this book. Maddox and Emmy are really entertaining when they fight and hot when they get into it. Plus, this is one of those stories where you don't have any other option but to cheer the couple on. Maddox had been pushing Emmy away for years, even though he loved her, so this how they got their second chance and how they expelled their demons away (hopefully) for good!
As a bonus, the very last paragraph of the book teases the new story related to this group of awesome people. I got very excited at the hint of a book about the kids (now grown ups) of the Corps Security guys, went to confirm that there really is going to be a book about them (Cohen and Danielle, for now anyway) and there is! I can't wait to know how much the kids are alike the parents!
