book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I am at a loss for words\u2026this book.\u00a0 It is soooo very different from anything I have read by her.\u00a0 Its dark, gritty and gets in your head as to the how\u2019s and why\u2019s of people. \u00a0\u00a0It kinda freaked me out because I wondered if this was all real or some kinda crazy head game.<\/p>\n<p>Tack and Juliette are both sentenced to the island to repent for their crimes.\u00a0 They both are guilty of crimes that are inter connected but neither knows the other will be there.\u00a0 They both are sentenced to one year in what they presume is solidary confinement.\u00a0 When they stumble on the other, it\u2019s a\u00a0 hot mess because we, the reader, don\u2019t really know the story.\u00a0 As the book unfolds and our characters let us in\u2026holy shit is all I could say.<\/p>\n<p>Tack has always been the golden boy who gets caught being not so good.\u00a0 Juliette is the little mouse in the middle of the games Tack is playing with his friends but her retaliation is what gets her in trouble.\u00a0 This book is crazy good.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t put it down because I was seriously like \u201cWait how can you consider this guy after he did this stuff.\u201d And then I was like \u201cwait after you did this stuff you are going to pick her wild flowers and offer her steak!\u201d\u00a0 GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>This book gets in your head because the dark content makes you not want to see these two together but then again they are both in need of love, care and compassion that how can you not what them to be together\u2026\u2026.Gosh so mind boggling!!<\/p>\n<p>I am eager to read book 2 in October because the ending leaves you going WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<h3

Author<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Avid drinker of Coca-Cola, L.B. Dunbar loves the sweet things in life. Her affair with all things romantic began with her first book at the tender age of six: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One can never forget her first! From there, the reading journey includes a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused, yes, that\u2019s the correct word, of having an over active imagination; to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she\u2019s created small town worlds, rock star mayhem, and MMA chaos. Her other duties in life include: mother to four growing children and wife to the one and only.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Connect with L.B. <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Newsletter Sign Up: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2vmKemx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2vmKemx<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Facebook Author Page: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2vcOEx3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2vcOEx3<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Goodreads Author Page: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2wlwz3O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2wlwz3O<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Twitter: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2xaQGzd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2xaQGzd<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Instagram: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2wm5Dkt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2wm5Dkt<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Amazon Author Page: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xb3OV6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xb3OV6<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">BookBub Author Page: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2g4zKpT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2g4zKpT<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4342 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forewordpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Foreword_ALT_Logo1-1024x340.png?resize=450%2C149&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"149\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cover Design: Shanoff Formats Release Date: September 15, 2017 Synopsis The Island Welcome to the island.
