The Pawn and The Knight

Stupid, stupid, stupid... I kept reading thinking this has to get better but it never did. There were several moments when the story started making sense and I thought I would get answers to my many questions, it never happens. The story flies off in another direction after repeating details that just never conclude with a satisfactory closing scene. In the end, I felt the main characters should do everyone a favor and commit suicide.

The Pawn I was on the edge of my seat for the entire story, I expected nothing less!!!! The blurb for the book explains the circumstances, but what it doesn't tell you is that you will feel every raw, stark and wild thought and experience Avery has. And you will, you will be on the edge of your seat, your heart will be pounding and brain will implode with every action, reaction and event that occurs. This book is from Avery's perspective, so you never quite get what is going on behind the scenes with Gabriel, but that won't make you love or hate him more. You will regularly have both those thoughts with him, though you will marvel at his dirty ways, sensitivity and cunning at manipulating the situations to his liking The Knight I think I had a good abs workout reading this book, my stomach was clenched the whole time!! This isn't dark like The Pawn, but it is full of suspense and wondering, what next, why that, and, wow, that was not what I thought, now what about..... you get the picture. To say it wasn't as dark doesn't mean there aren't some deep and emotional moments with Gabriel and Avery. It still is more charcoal than black, and definitely not pure lily white, but then again, there relationship will never be that. With so much going on around them, and because of them, and to them, this is how they forge together in that fire, and are stronger because of it. We get more of their stories, some they didn't know they had, and some that were inevitable. So, this book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but the story does continue. Those of us who crave and HEA, we get a version of it here, but the fight, the battle, is still not done. I'll be along for the more, because these characters need to have some semblance of peace in their lives, and I'll follow them until they do!

Absolutely unique, exciting,emotional and enlightening story of desire and passionate love between two people who met under uncertain and unusual circumstances!
