Excerpt:

“What the fuck is your problem?”

Leona ignores me and continues to leave with her friends, but I won’t

let it go that easy. I know her type, they think they can walk all

over people and no one will stand up to her. She’s got another

think coming if she thinks I’ll let it pass.

“Leona, I asked you a

question. What the fuck is your problem?”

She turns towards me, her

face surprising me. I expect anger but instead she has a sickly sweet

smile on her face as she stalks towards me.

“Problem? There's no

problem Ella. For there to be a problem you would have to mean

something, but you're nothing. You’re insignificant like all the

other little bitches Damon picks up. Do you really believe you're

that special Ella? Do you think the words he mutters to you he hasn’t

muttered to someone else before you? What makes you think you're any

different than all the others before?” She lets out a condescending

laugh, “What about Abigail? Oh, you met her didn’t you?” She

acts surprised before sneering again, “At your romantic little

meal. Ring any bells?” She doesn’t give me a chance to answer.

“You will be gone before you know it.”

She turns to leave again,

thinking she’s put an end to me. I don’t fucking think so. What

she said cut deep but I won’t let her see that. I won’t let her

know how much her words can hurt me. She’ll get a kick if she knows

she’s keyed into one of my biggest fears.

Am I just one in a long

list of many that Damon plays with? Or is what we have real?

I am fucking furious. Who

does this bitch think she is? My inner bitch is coming out to join

the party.

“You're so fucking

jealous, aren't you Leona? You would give anything to be with him,

but he doesn't want you. Every time you throw yourself at him, he'll

turn you down, because you’re the one who’s nothing to him. He

feels sorry for you, that’s all. It’s nothing more.”

A livid Leona steps toward

me but Lacy holds her back. If I wasn’t pregnant I would slap her

right across that scheming face of hers, but I have something better

up my sleeve to hit her with.

“Don’t you think we

know Damon a little more that you?” Michelle pipes up, looking

smug. “We’ve known him a lot longer. You’re nothing but a new

toy to Damon and he gets bored with his toys very quickly,” she

finishes on a smirk, making me want to claw her fucking eyes out.

I laugh at her. “Is that

so? Well I happen to know different.” I start to walk past them to

exit the toilets but Sharn steps in my way and speaks for the first

time.

“We’ve not finished

with you yet. You need to back away from Damon before he breaks your

heart. I can see he already owns it. You wouldn’t take up for him

like this if you didn’t love him. We’ve been around longer, will

continue to be around long after you’ve been kicked to the curb.”

She pushes her face close to mine, invading my personal space, no

doubt to intimidate me. “Damon is Leona’s. He will always be

Leona’s.”

I raise a brow at her

arrogant comment. “Funny that,” I look at Leona, “he told me

you’re nothing more than a tag along. An acquaintance that never

leaves. He only deals with you because of your parents being good

friends with his.” I smirk when I see shock hit her eyes. “Yeah,

that’s right. You’re nothing more than a family friend.” I look

back at Sharn, who is still invading my personal space. “Now if

you’ll excuse me, I have better places to be.”

My Review

Damon and Ella, 2 people keeping secrets.....

The second book in the trilogy and Ella is totally lost to Damon, even if she thinks somewhere her plan is working.

Damon wow his lovely, he has a secret and says his not good enough for Ella.

Ella is pregnant and so messed up, but they make a lovely couple. They have many obstacles ahead of them including the horrid Leona who appears to be holding something against Damon.

I need to mention Tom his so sweet and a great friend to Ella.

Sizzle factor, yes these two love each other's body and show it very often.

The story developed really well in this installment and we got to feel a lot more for Damon. The ending.....it had me nervous!

A great read, I can't wait for the final part.

4.5 stars
