4 Smooches!

Synopsis

Trapper Montgomery
His darkness drew me in.
A mystery with a past I wanted to solve.
He was cold, like ice, but set me on fire.
A heat I hadn’t felt in ages.
But when I saw his face, I burned…
In mourning
Again.

Brea Bradley
She melted from my voice–shuddered from my touch.
But trembled from the memories
That my face brought back.
She wanted more…
Maybe even him.
I wasn’t the hand she counted on.
But I was what she was dealt…
A Wild Ace with no way to win.

Review

Trapper is a cold, mysterious, broody poker player, who mostly keeps to himself and his dark secrets so as to avoid his past hurting him anymore that is has done. But when he meets Brea at a masquerade party the sparks between them fly! But when they see each other it’s not only Trapper is hiding a hard past; Brea is mourning a love. A love she is reminded of when she is with Trapper. Can she overcome her lost love? And can Trapper let go of the past to allow himself a future?

“It was strangely hot to be gazing into this superhero’s eyes and extremely confusing at the same time. Despite how much of his face was covered, I could feel his sensuality radiating through the latex.”

This was such an intriguing and mysterious story. The whole way through we know some things and then there are other things we only get a hint of and you are wondering the whole way through what is happening? What is it? Like the mysterious compound and what happened to both Brea’s lost love and Trapper? And that’s what I loved most about this book; the constant surprises and the fact you had to keep reading to find out the full story!

“If I didn’t get my mind off those screams—and the memories of my own—they’d haunt me for the rest of the night.”

Trapper is seriously full of mystery; we know he plays poker and we know he has had a very dark past and a very secretive present. But not much else. As we go through the story we get to know that he may be silent and broody but that he also cares deeply for those he let in. Brea has also had a very sad past but she remains caring, funny and loving despite her sadness and she is a character I loved throughout this story.

“I felt like I finally knew who he was, what drove him, what pleased him, what hurt him, and what hadn’t weakened him.”

Such a fascinating plot line; full of unexpected twists and turns and great supporting characters in the form of Brea’s best friend and husband. I really didn’t have a clue what the compound was until the very end and it was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Which is exactly what this story was throughout; beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
