Sins of Bliss

Vinnie:

I made a vow to protect Sly, even if that means giving away a piece of myself by marrying a man I despise.

The only thing keeping my heart beating through the grief is when August drops a new set of surveillance photos onto my lap.

It's enough to keep me compliant.

But when I hear Sly's in a hospital in California after being shot, I stop everything and get on a plane.

It never occurred to me that while I was doing what was necessary to make sure he stayed alive, there could be outside factors that would risk his life, too.

He can't die.

I love him too much.

And I'll do anything to keep him alive.

Sly:

For months, I've tried to stop loving her.

Begged myself in the darkness of the night as I lay awake, to let her go.

So badly, I've wanted to move on from the hurt inside and the love I still cling to, but I can't. Telling myself not to love her is like telling myself to stop breathing.

Impossible.

Unfathomable.

But watching her prepare to marry another man is like a searing knife to the heart that keeps twisting.

Beginning a new life in California seemed like the only option, but seeing her while I lie in my hospital bed, I can sense something is amiss.

What should be a beautiful reunion feels like goodbye.

And I'm not ready to let her go.

<div>This is book 2 in the *With A Kiss* duet. Each book must be read in order!&nbsp;</div><div> </div><div>After Sly told her to meet him the next day she knew what they needed to do. The only problem with that is Joseph and August will do everything to keep them apart. How do you explain to the love of your life you will do anything to protect them?&nbsp;</div><div> </div><div>The fact that August came into her apartment and did that made me furious. I feel awful that Sly thought she didn't feel the same. Living without the love of your life is painful. Sly's new tattoo is everything. It's sweet how when Vinnie found out Sly was hurt she went right to him. It hurt my soul that Sly really thinks she wants to marry August. When the pieces finally came together I almost jumped out of my chair! That ending is perfect. I'm obsessed with Sly and Vinnie!&nbsp;</div><div> </div><div>I definitely had a hard time sleeping in between books because I needed to know what came next. Being so invested in a great book will do that. The way everything came together was good. I didn't see anything coming and then bam: it changes. Absolutely fantastic! Easy 5 stars.&nbsp;</div>
