Book Review - Betrayal by Aleatha Romig






My Thoughts

This is the first book of Aleatha's that I have read and I am totally hooked. She writes these characters that give you the feels from the very first time you encounter them on the page. My heart broke for Alex and all that she had been through with her family. Those moments both past and present had me on edge as I read them. When they trick her into coming home, I couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to escape. And her parents...they both need a kick or two. I wanted to shake her mom for not standing up for her. 

Then there's Nox and the week of passion they share together. I loved that they didn't just jump into bed together. That Alex insisted on them getting to know each other. I so wanted her to call him. I wanted him to stop her from leaving. I really wanted them together.

When Alex finds out the truth from her mother, her whole world changes. She is forced to make a decision that will change everything for her and brings Nox back into her life. I can't wait to read what happens next.

I give Betrayal 4 hearts!






About the Book

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined.  With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one: 

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?

BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.

Excerpt

“Just know, Miss Charli, no last name, the next time you break one of my rules, I won’t respond as lightly.”

“You won’t?” I asked, more aroused than curious. “What exactly does that mean?”

He moved closer, seductively teasing my breasts with the presence of his wide chest. “I guess we’ll need to find that out together.”

I had to lift my chin to see his eyes. The light blue sparkled with suggestions. The longer I stared, the more a part of me wanted to find out exactly what he had in mind. There was also a part of me that knew that wasn't a good idea. I shrugged nonchalantly. “Then I guess I better not break any of your rules.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” he asked.
