Illusion Trilogy #1
Illusion
FROM CATWALK TO CROSSFIRE...
Top designer Alexis Costillano fashioned a high society existence of beauty and fame most women could only dream of. But a charmed life isn’t immune to cancer, and Lexi must leave her glamorous City of Angels behind to fulfill her dying mother’s last to see her estranged son one more time.
Soon, Lexi becomes entangled in her brother’s secret labyrinthine life in a notorious motorcycle club. And the road to family is about to turn deadly as it leads Lexi deeper into an underworld of guns, drugs, and the dark desires of a gang leader who’s got his eyes set on her as the next big score.
Now, as Lexi senses those eyes upon her, she can try to run, but she will never be able to hide…
BORN TO RIDE...
Screaming Skulls right-hand-man Riley Jackson knows how to catch a woman’s eye. But one in particular—a pretty fashionista-for-ransom—seems to be capturing more than that.
Lexi’s out of her element in his rough and rumble biker gang world. And with the infamous Black Jack Trolley calling the shots—and staking a claim to Lexi—Riley must now hold her close to his chest…without risking his heart.
As taboos break, rivalries flare and a lust triangle rages, Riley and Lexi will be forced to trust one another with their deepest secrets...or risk being shattered by the very Illusion that now protects them.

I'll start off by saying that I read several books a week. When a book grabs me from the beginning, I usually can't put it down until
It's done. This book didn't do that. This author is very wordy. Although that's not necessarily a bad thing, I found it hard to get through the beginning. I would pick it up and put it down over and over. Then around 35% or so it grabbed me and I could not put it down until it was done. I really likes the developing feelings between Lexi and Riley. It took twists and turns that I never expected. I like it when a book can surprise me. It doesn't happen enough. I constantly looked at how long I had until the book ended, hoping for more time and not wanting there to be a lot of questions left unresolved. I honestly can't wait for the next book to come out. If you can get past the overly descriptive writing style, it's definitely a good read.

It took me a bit to really get into this book. I'm glad I stuck with it!
Mostly told from Riley's point of view.
I loved the twist. I need to start the 2nd book now! But the 3rd book isn't out yet....ugh!
