LAST DAY OF READER ROUND UP

  Good morning peeps , sadly it is the last day of reader round up for this fall . We are going to go out with a bang with the second book in the Invictus Securities series UNLOCKED by Angela Rush

                          BOOK BLURB

 Shelby

My life is passing me by, but I’m helpless to stop it. I’m undesirable and too broken to change. No one will ever love me, the fat girl. I’ll never be what society deems acceptable and will forever be alone.

Bo

I’m at the prime of my life. I am the king of the one-night stand. I don’t stay the night. I don’t do repeats, and I absolutely don’t do relationships. I never have to fear losing my heart to someone who could break it. Yet, I’m no longer enjoying my life as I’ve lived it.

Shelby Brooks turns my world upside down from the moment I lay eyes on her. I can tell she’s attracted to me, but she does her best to ignore me. Not the reaction I usually get from women. It makes me want her all the more.

When Shelby is taken to be used in a terrorist attack along with my brother’s fiancée, I’ll do whatever it takes to get them back, to get her back. When I do, I’ll make her see just how much she means to me. I’ll admit she’s unlocked my cold heart, but have I unlocked hers, too?

                               MY REVIEW 

 Shelby is Marley's best friend since school. When she is asked to be in Marley's wedding she is excited and kind of scared. Ever since that fateful night in college she has sworn off men. But when she meets Bo at the airport things start of prickly, there is an attraction but both of them have a past that they need to work through. Things are happening so fast as they try and figure out what being in each others lives means and also getting ready for a wedding . Oh yeah they are still trying to figure out why a terrorist group want with Marley. 

    Shelby is a sweet woman with a tragic past . From the abuse she had from her father and then not being the it girl in college. It has left deep scars on her soul and has broken her trust in all men. There are moments that she does come off as a little bit naive and sheltered but underneath that there is a woman that has the strength to get through all the worst in her life to find happiness that she does deserve. Bo is a good ole boy that is hiding the pain of being a pow. He hasn't had a real relationship just a bunch of one night stands and that is the way he prefers it. He is hiding a hurt. He is one of those guys that can come off as bossy but only wants what is good for the ones he loves . 

   This is the second book in the series and we get to dive into Shelby and Bo and understand more of what has happened to both of them. The author did a good job in entwining their story with Luke and Marley's keeping them separate but keeping the story going with the kidnapping and the brotherhood. Just a couple of things that I think were dragging just a little was the over use of sweet girl. I also wished that she would of expanded the Roscoe and Bo always scrapping just a little . Over all I did enjoy this book and I think you would also. I will tell you there are triggers in this book, especially abuse . But if you can put that aside check it out you will not be disappointed.
