It was his lips.
The way his stare sent shivers down my spine.
The way his rough voice whispered my name.
So I caved.
I did what I knew I shouldn’t.
But as quickly as he’s there, he’s gone.
Leaving me confused.
Devastated.
I hope I’ll never see him again…
Then I do.
He’s my new boss.
And he has secrets.
*Sordid is a COMPLETE standalone novel.
Well, one thing's for sure: this certainly lives up to its title! There are all kinds of sordid little things going on here and most, if not all, of them lead back to family. In one way or another. You get a glimpse of Grant in the first book about the Lancasters, Clandestine, and it's not a very good one. First impression: he's a jerk who sold out his family. In Sordid, you get the truth. You see what happened to lead up to every step he took to become what he was - and the real reasons behind it. And let me tell you, there's so much more than what was on the surface. The passions of this man run deep, as Bridget - sister to his brother's girlfriend - discovers firsthand. There is so much sexual tension running between the two of them from the get-go, I can almost forgive and overlook the over-used age gap between them. Usually, I hate that and often skip over a book because of it (what's with all the stories about men in their thirties going for so much younger girls? I don't get it), but this author didn't make it as much of a big deal as others have, so you soon forget that there's a gap at all. Something about them together just works and carries the story. And poor Bridget, she has her own issues with family. Namely, growing up in and living in the shadows of her two sisters, who garner all the attention in the family. I know what that is like, so I really felt for her. This also made the story more believable for me, more relate-able. I understood her motivations and cheered her on while she strove to carve out something just for her. The road to happy isn't easy for these two, but it is an exciting one that'll have you putting off everything else to read it - I know it did for me!
