*This is an Adult Contemporary Romance and is not
suitable for younger readers dues to its sexual content and language.
** This is a Stand Alone Companion Novel to
Tragically Flawed.
My name is Gemini Sheridan. At least that’s what
I thought it was for 23 years. Then one day a slight adjustment on the wheel of
my mountain bike set into motion a series of catastrophic events that changed
my life forever. Now I’m running from the headaches that threaten to destroy
me… from the assassins that threaten to kill me… from the truth that exposes
who I really am… and from the man that wants to save me. Because he now owns my
heart and I fear him above all others.
My name is Drexel Wolfe and I’m a private
investigator. Nothing ever stands in the way of what I want because when I see
something I just take it. All of that changed the night my life collided with
Gemini Sheridan’s and now everything is one hot damn mess. And the worst part
of it all is that I’m trying to save her ass and I don’t know why the hell I’m
even bothering. Well, that’s not exactly true. Fact is, I can’t stop thinking
about her. She’s crawled into every thought I own, asleep or awake. I have
serious plans for her that include making her mine. What she doesn’t know is
that when I play, I play for keeps. Nothing and no one will get in my way or
stop me… not even Gemini Sheridan herself.
**This book is NOT part of a series, but Drexel
Wolfe, the main character, was first introduced in Tragically Flawed.
My take...
I loosen my grip and when I do, so does he. But
this whole thing has unhinged me. Nothing is the same. My entire life has been
rewritten. I’m a character in a novel and I’m not sure how this story is going
to end.
***
This book was not at all what I was expecting. I
am not even sure what I was expecting, because I had forgotten over time what
the book was even about. That is a little habit of mine. I read the blurb, then
by the time I read the book, it has been some time and I have no idea what it
is about. Another thing, I know this author will give me a good read no matter
what. But with this story…it was an absolutely thrilling read. You get so
caught up in everything going on, that you forget about the going-on of the
real world.
I was so caught up this story that I didn't
realize I had spent hours captivated by the book. Missed lunch? Who cares!
Drexel is enough to satisfy my hunger. This guy was intense and fiery! He comes
charging in and you just have to give him all your attention. He demands it and
we readers gladly hand it over. He is very confident of himself, but not in an
annoying cocky way. He knows what he wants and he goes after it. But that is
all on the outside. Inside, he has a few issues that he has to work through.
Issues from his past that have wrecked his life in more ways than one. But with
Gemini entering his world, he is able to face those issues head on. And I
really loved reading about him.
Gemini is another character that you just have to
love. I had a connection with her from beginning, starting with the prologue.
She was once an adventurous girl with big dreams until her biking accident. Now
she is just a shell of a girl that is just existing, getting by with a little
help from her friends...her meds and illegal drugs. They help her get through
her crippling migraines. Throw in some terrorists that are after her and life
just seems to be getting better and better for her. *insert sarcastic sigh
here*
This book was a definite page turner and I was
gladly giving up a day of cleaning to see how it all worked out in the end.
Hubs? Yeah not so much. He just doesn’t see the justification of a dirty house
just to read a book. Men! What do they know? I will say this…this book is
perfect for any gender. There is action and suspense that will appeal to the
men in your life. Read it and recommend it to them. TRAGIC DESIRES is so very
suspenseful, an absolute thriller, and amazingly hot! Hargrove gives us not
just a book full of words but an adventure so intense, it will have you hanging
on to every word. 5 Suspenseful Stars!

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove,
realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it
would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming
of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous
(not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the
pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick
reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad
guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side
street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out
the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell
phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call
to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was
beating properly again).
So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer.
Her books include the following: Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge and Kissing
Fire (The Edge Series); The Guardians of Vesturon series (Survival,
Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent and Beginnings); Dark Waltz and
Tragically Flawed.
Other than being in love with writing about being in love, she loves
chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of
the USDA food groups.
