"Thou shalt take the boy out of Manchester, but you cannot take Manchester out of the boy."
Lee –
I’m a killer, a hardened criminal born into the underbelly of an unlawful world that my father crafted, and I am to be crowned the next King. I used to covet the dark; it has forever been my friend and forgives me my sins. A slither of light has dared me to hope, it has my house of cards tumbling all around me. From the moment I saw her I knew she would be my downfall, for how can something that shines so bright not burn? Yet, she is my salvation and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….
Rose –
I cringe at my own shadow; dark corners of my mind forever torment me. I have yet to escape from my demons; they beseech me with every turn of my head. Yet lurking is a promise, a promise of things to come. It has my heart in a vice; squeezing the last dregs of a love I never thought I could feel again. From the moment I saw him I knew he would be my downfall, for how can something that smoulders so dark not singe? Yet, he is my redemption and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….

My Review
This is the second book in this series and while it can be
read as a stand-alone; I recommend reading
book one first to fully understand everything that is happening. This book is about Lee and Rose. Rose like Dana from the first book has an
abusive ex that she is hiding from. The
way Lee feels for Rose he has never felt before. She has gotten under his skin and he can’t
stop thinking about her all the time. He
thinks she is too good for him and that he will taint her with his
darkness. Rose doesn’t want to like Lee
but can’t stop the way she feels what she thinks about him or sees him. She just keeps her ex in her head telling her
how unworthy she is. Will Lee be able to
show Rose how he feels about her and that he will treat her right? Lee is trying to leave his old life behind
him but things keep happening. Now that
he has Rose and her daughter Annie he wants to give them the life they
deserve. Both their pasts keep coming
back. Will they be able to have their
happily ever after or will the darkness from their pasts stop them? This book was even better than the first
one. It was great getting to read about
all the girls again. Rose and Lee have
it even tougher than Dana and Logan did.
The girls’ exes just won’t stop.
They are determined to get them back.
This story is sad and emotional.
Just when all the girls are finally getting on with their lives their
pasts come back. They are constantly
living in fear of what could happen if their exes find them. The guys are always their when any of the
girls need help. They do everything they
can to protect them but it may not be enough.
I was totally taken by surprise by the ending. I am not a crier and I almost ugly cried when
reading the ending. I can’t wait to read
the next book in this series. Dawn you
are a fantastic author.

Author Bio
I was brought up in Manchester and I am now living in the beautiful Scottish borders with my three children.
I
have enjoyed writing my story as I had a pretty hard upbringing and
have suffered like everyone does over the years in different situations,
but everyone has a story to tell.
I just hope my story can help someone out there who is, or has been through the same sorts of situations as myself.
