At The Brink

At The Brink
By Anna del Mar

SUMMARY

Lily:

I should never have agreed to it.

A woman will do a lot to keep her husband happy. But when my husband sells me to the highest bidder—billionaire, former navy SEAL, pride of Boston's business scene—I agree, not to keep him happy, but because it gives me the chance to finally escape. Escape my marriage, escape my debts, escape my life…

Josh Lane demands a steep price: my pride and my morals. But the truth is, I've never felt anything like what I feel for him. He brings color into my gray world. And his insistence that I submit to his commands—his depraved, filthy, amazing commands—only feeds my craving to be taken by him. Again. And again.

I should never have agreed to it, but I'm so glad I did. 

Josh:

I don't need to pay to keep women in my bed. Though my preferences may be unorthodox, I never leave a woman unsatisfied—far from it. Lily Boswell, though… Her innocence draws me, her secrets intrigue me. Having her is worth dealing with her cowardly scum of a husband.

I want to release her passions and heal her wounds.

On my terms.

Because the blindfolds and restraints hide more than she could imagine. I must keep her safe from the people who would destroy me—and the demons that haunt my dreams

REVIEW
What a gripping powerful story! It starts out very scandalous and and some parts outrageous but turns into a heart wrenching romance with a back story that explains it all.

Lily starts out as a scared little rabbit that is so unsure of herself. She suffers from panic attacks but then has the guts to stand up for herself. She definitely knows how to scarfice to get what she wants freedom and security. Lily grows into a beautiful strong woman as the story goes on and fights for what she wants, I didn't want to strangle her and she didn't make those dumb heroine decisions where you want to pull out your hair and scream "You dumb ass!!!!" I like that she speaks her mind to Josh and let's him have it when he deserves it! I love her progression throughout the story! 

Josh is a very in control man and I mean he has total control. You will want to throttle him at times because he is so arrogant and conrolling, He at times was over the top, but he fits the very high IQ person that has no common sense or emotional sense. He has his reasons to act and it is hard to see the reasons. I never figured out his secret and for once I was surprised with the big reveal. He is sexy as hell and kinky too. Total male whore before he meets her, but totally rock steady after. He is a damaged hero, but once the reveal is opened you understand him and just love him even more.

The sex is kinky and fun nothing over the top. When he has her paint herself it is really hot! The sex isn't the whole story and just the right amount of ummm. The two have so much hotness between them! I think I need a shower! 

Great emotional read loved it couldn't put it down even read some at work...but don't tell. First book from this author and I will check our more from her.

Received an ARC from the publisher for a honest review.
