"The first time I saw
her, I knew this girl was wilder than any stallion I’d ever trained. She was
headstrong, wounded, passionate and free. And I had to have her…"
Brittany Ray doesn’t care
about her bad reputation. Growing up in a sleepy beach town with a junkie mom
and a runaway dad, Brit’s learned the hard way that the people you love will
only let you down. It’s no use hoping for love or happiness. Some dreams aren’t
meant for girls like her.
Hunter Covington is one of
those dreams.
Gorgeous, charming Hunter
is damn near perfect—and it’s killing him. Son of Charleston royalty, he’s been
trapped in a gilded cage since the day he was born. Now he’s breaking free.
He’s quit law school to restore his grandpa’s old horse ranch, trying to soothe
the demons in his soul. But Beachwood Bay is full of old ghosts, like the
mysterious girl who spent an unforgettable night with him—and then slipped away
before dawn. Brit.
Everything about her
screams danger, but Hunter doesn’t care: he’s never felt a connection so deep.
And try as she may, Brit can’t resist the desire consuming her —or the safety
she finds in Hunter’s arms.
A reckless passion. An
undeniable bond. Scarred by their pasts, Brit and Hunter fight to heal old
wounds. But will dark secrets tear apart their new beginning? And when love is
the biggest risk of all, can they find the courage to face the future unafraid?
This book was received from Inkslinger PR
in exchange for an honest review.
Unafraid was another new adult win for me! It is a really refreshing
storyline and I read it in one sitting. I dare ya not to like this one.
Brittany is such a strong girl. She was dealt a shit hand in
life, her dad leaving their family and her mom loved booze more than Brittany.
She has dreams, dreams she wants more than anything to accomplish She’s extremely pessimistic and I really
can’t blame her because of her upbringing, but I wish she didn’t have such a
load on her shoulders. She expects the worst out of Hunter, just because of her
past experience, and I love when he proves her wrong.
Hunter truly is a golden
boy, just like Brit thinks. He is so dang considerate, sweet, and just
perfect. And yet, he is messed up inside just like Brittany. But he doesn’t let
it stop him from giving his all to her and showing her so much love. He’s
headstrong, just like his counterpart and never gives up no matter how many
times she tells him to go away.
I loved seeing Juliet and Emerson back in action. They are
so cute together and Emerson loves his little sister and will beat up anyone
that hurts his sister. Garrett is like a surrogate brother to Brittany as well
and I really love his character.
The thing I loved about Unbroken, Juliet and Emerson’s book,
and this book is that the couples have a past. Brit and Hunter have a
complicated past, and I enjoyed having it unfolded in pieces. I love having deliciously
tortured pasts. :) Hunter and Brit may have not seen each other in three years,
but none of their feelings ever diminished. Their relationship develops fast,
and they feel so strongly for each other. Their sexy times were beyond sexy and their sweet times were
adorable.
I liked this installment even more than Unbroken and I can’t
wait to see what Melody has up her sleeve for us!
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: It’s the kiss I’ve been waiting three long years to taste again, but it’s
nothing like I imagined. Sweet and soft, hot and slow. My eyes drift shut with
bliss as his mouth dances softly over mine. He’s barely touching me, but the
shudder of pleasure that rolls through me is enough to make my heart stop and my
legs buckle. Hunter wraps an arm around my waist, holding me up, and I sway
into him, lost in the darkness.
