Until the beautiful and feisty Gabrielle Demeres comes back into his life.<\/p>\n<p>Gabrielle learned the hard way what type of guy Brodie was the first time she met him. His crude seduction attempt earned him a slap to his face, and Gabrielle wasn\u2019t exactly looking forward to another encounter with the cad. Unfortunately, her best friend was marrying Brodie\u2019s brother, and Gabrielle and Brodie would be forced to spend time together whether she liked it or not.<\/p>\n<p>As things in the small, quiet town of Turtle Lake take a decidedly dark and dangerous turn, Gabrielle and Brodie only have each other to turn to. Will they be capable of overcoming their aversion to one another while coping with their own troubled pasts and dealing with the current dangers surrounding them? Or is their hostility just skating the fine line between love and hate?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/TBR.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7200\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"TBR\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/22559826-beautifully-used\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10982\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10982\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96\" alt=\"kellys review\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kellys-review.jpg?w=428 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I\u00a0\u00a0adore the Beaumont Brothers! This is Brodie and Gabrielle\u2019s story. We have two people that couldn\u2019t be more opposite of one another. Their first encounter was not fun and they are dreading seeing each other now. Brodie has a past that makes him who he is today, a playboy that will not commit to spending two nights with the same woman let alone commit to a relationship. Gabrielle has a past that she has kept hidden from everyone and has made her a bit more reserved than most. All hell breaks loose and they lean on each other for support. To watch their relationship bloom and feel every single emotion is beautiful. The author has an amazing way with words and will rock your world when you find out about their pasts!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no question in my mind, she was a goddess, and I silently cursed my stupid attempt at carelessly trying to get her into my bed last year. One does not simply just have sex with a goddess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;the trees blowing in the wind outside the window caught my eye. I studied them as they swayed, the way they withstood the abuse from the wind was amazing. I wanted to be like the trees. Able to stand tall the next day after being slammed by something I had no control over; only dropping a few fragments of my self-esteem the way the trees only lost a few of their leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do know that when I kiss you, my entire world stops. My head buzzes and my body goes into overdrive , making me dizzy . Just like with a car, my body goes into high gear to maintain the speed my heart is pumping because of the way I feel about you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is a respect that these two develop for one another. Fear and rejection have made them weary but their love is incredible!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Buy-Links.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7207\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7207\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"Buy-Links\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/230oz2L\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/beautifully-used-susan-griscom\/1120006576?ean=9781501044946\">B&amp;N<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/about-the-author.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7206\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7206\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about-the-author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Susan Griscom writes paranormal and contemporary romance.
