Plot: **Warning** This book is intended for a mature reading**
DEE
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man.
But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.
All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-looking, sex-oozing self right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want what I know I can’t have.
So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run.
But he just won’t let me go.
BECK
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.
To make her mine.
She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her.
She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.
**NO cliffhanger, HEA, inter-connected standalones**
About The Author:
Harper lives in small
town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and
her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to
her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books;
you can almost ALWAYS find her with her ereader attached. As an ex-reviewer and
blogger, Harper's passion for reading runs deep. It wasn't until 'Axel' decided
to take up residence that she realized her true calling.
She started using
writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a
house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't take long
before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their
story told.

To put it in a nutshell:
Beck tells the story of….
A broken girl whose life is filled with nothing but anguish and disappointment.
And a guy just wanting to prove to her his undying love for her.
My thoughts: I’m not going to lie, I had a lot of moments in the beginning where I almost put down this book because I got so fed up with Dee’s demons and insecurities. She’s kind of an enigma for her own existence really. It constantly led to self-destruction and sabotaging her relationship with the only guy she could see herself loving.
You see, Dee, comes from a family of money but no love. As she grows up, this missing quota festers and after being let down and betrayed constantly, she develops this wall of trust issues which in turn effects her budding romance with Beck.
At first I wanted to hate her, but in the end after learning her background, all of my past frustrations with her all dissipated. She's been through a lot of tough sh*t in her life and it's plausible that this backlash would happen. It's just an honest reaction is all.**
As for Beck, well, what more can I say other than the fact that he’s….charming, lovable, and an all out devoted guy who’s fixated his life in making Dee finally his. *swoons*.
But as you can already guess, a lot of push and pull happens as Dee’s mental and emotional states are constantly in a hot and cold spiral of turmoil.
How will it all pan out? Will Dee ever decide to let go of her past and move on with her future? And with a threat on Dee’s life, will these two ever reach their happily ever after?
A very heart-wrenching and captivating story that focuses on love and friendship; as well as healing, forgiveness, and fighting past all your past obscurities.
~~And btw, on a side note: Doesn't the girl on the cover (on the bottom) kinda look like a dude? Just saying is all... lol ;)
