A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power…
Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it’s the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love…Love isn’t patient, love isn’t kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that’s how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I’ve never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I’m being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don’t regret.
Trey…
With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She’s the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she’s back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don’t know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she’s the closest I’ve ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it.
How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?
The Thrill Of It was a great read. Love, Sex, Addiction, Blackmail & Thrills this is all that the author gave us the readers in one book. There was a little bit of everything I love to read about. I was captivated in this book from the beginning. I felt a tug to my heart strings for Harley from the get go and I wanted to know her story I wanted to know more and with every chapter I was given just enough to not want to put the book down.
Normally you favor one character over another in a story but in The Thrill Of It I couldn’t decide who I loved more. Harley or Trey. Trey was sexy, smooth, but most of all he was broken. He had a story that broke my heart once it was revealed. All I wanted to do was hug and comfort him once Trey found it in him to tell Harley his secret, what had broken him so long ago. He finally learned it was okay to talk about something bad that happened in life instead of acting as if that chapter of his life never existed.
Lauren did an amazing job at the end of the book just enough to keep me wanting more and THRILLED that there will be a book 2!!! I give this book 4.5 stars
