RELENTLESS (Shattered Heart series) by CASSIA LEO ~ Review and Giveaway!

 

SYNOPSIS
To Claire, Adam Parker is just another flirty customer at the cafe, until a chance encounter and seemingly innocent comment spurs a bet between them. The bet is simple: If Adam can get Claire to reveal the secret that made her drop out of college, she has to re-enroll. If he doesn’t succeed, she gets to keep her secret and he has to stop stalking her at the cafe.

Claire thinks she has this one in the bag. She’s perfected the art of forgetting her past. But she isn’t prepared for Adam’s relentless pursuit or for him to share his own secrets. And she’s definitely not prepared for her rock star ex, and her secret, to come banging down her door one year later.

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language, drug use, and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

MY REVIEW
This was my first time to read Cassia Leo and it certainly will not be my last! I loved all the characters and the scenes were so well developed. I could literally smell the ocean or feel the sand between my toes. This story is the first in the Shattered Heart series and boy oh boy will you be anxiously awaiting the other two books.

Claire Nixon is such a strong young woman who went through hell and back as a child. At the age of 16 she entered what the social worker called her “last chance” foster home. But what Claire found was so much more than a place to lay her head. She found her soul mate and the one person who knew how to really talk to Claire. Only that love was not meant to be. Chis Knight leaves Raleigh to follow his dreams as a musician whereas leaving Claire all alone to face what comes to be her hardest struggle yet. 

 A quote from Claire:

“Chris was more than my first love. He was my first friend, my first family, my first heartbreak and my deepest betrayal.”

A year after Chris's departure in walks Adam Parker. He has the most amazing green eyes, his body is perfectly yummy and he makes Claire laugh while putting her at ease. However Adam has his own host of demons which include deep secrets, a bad temper and he is a pothead. Adam works for his family's construction company but his heart really belongs to the ocean and the waves within. He boasts a "Ride It Out" tattoo that Claire can’t keep her hands off of. Adam wins Claire's heart with his silly jokes and his steadfast persistence.

 A quote from Adam:

“I want to leave you dazed and confused for a week with nothing but my name on your lips.”

The book unfolds a love triangle, one that Claire knows where her heart lies. Will you be Team Adam or Team Chris? Get the book and pick your team...

The second book in this series is Pieces of You which set to release on May 17th .
