My Review:

When I first read the title, It immediately gave me a soap opera vibes from back in the day.  And once I cracked it open and started reading it, it didn't disappoint.  Boy, the drama was no joke in this book, and I am so here for all of it.  As tired as I was, I refused to go to sleep until i had completely finished this captivating read.  And the secrets that ended up being revealed, baby, there was nothing like it.  And I at one point agreed with Easton, but I totally understood why Korienne did what she did.  At some point, I will have to go back to the author's back list and check out her other books.  Wow, I'm still a bit lost for words.
