**I had the honor of BETA reading this book. **
"For the first time in my life, I allowed a woman inside; I allowed myself to feel emotions that I had never felt before. I told myself in the beginning that it was wrong, and that everything would come crashing in around me and right I was."
Wow! This book was heartstopping!! After the huge cliffhanger you were left with after Ashley's Bend, all your senses were on high alert. Anything could happen! I didn't think Cassy could twist this story anymore. Hence, the knot;) hehe. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined.
"I thought falling in love with a woman was the hardest thing that I have ever been through, but her betrayal was by far the worse to deal with. I knew I was risking my heart when I fell in love with Ashley, I didn't know I would be risking my entire life as well."
Ashley did the worst possible thing to protect Dominic. She pushed him away and she thought he would stay. How could he even think about coming back to her after everything she had done to him, his friends and his club? But Dominic wasn't backing down that easy. He needed answers as to why she did it.
Against his better judgement, Dominic couldn't stay away from Ashley. He was drawn to her. He loved her. But with twists, turns and lies being thrown around, could he really believe that she truly loved him?
"How could I be feeling both lust and anger at the same time? Why is it that she had to invade every corner of my mind to where I was left with nothing but thoughts of her?"
To add more fuel to the fire, Ashley begins a friendship with Rownan. This does not sit well with Dominic. I'd be jealous too, Dominic! Rownan is freakin hawt!! Lawd child! Rownan becomes Ashley's saving grace in so many ways. But Dominic only sees competition.
"I can't stop hating her, but worst of all I can't stop loving her."
How long can Ashley keep Dominic away? How far will she go to keep him safe?
"I found it hard to breathe around him, but I found it harder to breathe without him."
I want to give Cassy a big ol' high five for this book! I love how the beginning went right back into where the first book left off. There was no beating around the bush. You jumped right back into the story. You find out secrets, you find out who's really the good guys and the bad guys and you see how powerful love really is.
Hold onto your hearts! They might swell...or break.
"It's kind of symbolic too, don't you think? The Figure Eight- a never-ending path- an infinite loop- a circle in a race that can never be caught up in. That is how I have felt everyday since I have met you."

OMG OMG OMG!!! Cassy has done it again and made me want to throw my Kindle across the room. It took everything I had to refrain from the action!
Ashley is still devastated by the actions that Asher and Drake are making her do. She wants her friends to be safe at all costs. She's had to lie to the authorities and give them false accusations against the love of her life, Dominic in order to keep him, Knox, and her best friend safe. If she doesn't follow through with the plans that Asher gives her, then there could be dire consequences. She doesn't put murder past him.
The one good thing in her life right now is Rownan. He has been there for her when Dominic can't. Rownan knows that she is still in love with Dominic, but it breaks his heart to see her hurt and alone. So he helps her however he can.
Between unexpected news and unexpected plans Ashley doesn't know if she can take much more. There isn't much more I can divulge about Figure Eight without putting spoilers in it. I did not expect the ending. This whole book was a roller coaster ride of emotions. I peeled through every word waiting to see what would happen next!

Once again, Cassy Roop has left me speechless!!! AMAZING! After reading Ashley's Bend we have all been anxious to get our hands on book 2. But WOW, I never expected some of the twists and turns that occurred! This story is full of drama, passion, love, hate, and so so much more! I stayed up all night devouring every word, and what else is there to say but I NEED MORE!
*** DO NOT CONTINUE READING REVIEW IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ASHLEY'S BEND***
"Why did she do this to me, to us?"
We pick up right where Ashley's Bend left us. Dominic is in jail… his heart is broken. How could the one person he finally let in destroy him?
Ashley is miserable. She has sacrificed her love to protect Dominic and her friends. She refuses to let her blackmailers hurt anyone she cares about. But in order to keep them safe she has broken her own heart and destroyed the man she loves. She can only hope that someday Dominic will forgive her and understand why she did what she did.
"I let you in to parts of me that no one has ever been to. I confided in you. I trusted you. I fucking feel in love with you and for what? Tell me what, Ashley!"
Dominic cannot get his head and heart on the same page, making it difficult to move forward and gain back the control he so desperately needs. He has to stay strong to fight the legal battle he has ahead of him, in order to save his club and keep him and Knox out of jail. But when he is around Ashley, he can't deny the feelings and pull she still has on him. Which leads to some INTENSE and SEXUALLY CHARGED moments!
You can't deny this, Ashley. You don't get to run. You don't get to possess me and fucking leave. I own you just as much as you own me."
Ashley is alone, so when an old friend comes into her life she has to accept his help. But that only further pushes Dominic off the edge when he sees them together. What Dominic doesn't know is no one could ever take his place in her heart. How can she ever make him understand her decisions, while keeping everyone safe? Will Dominic ever forgive her? Can Ashley handle any more unexpected news? Can they ever find their way back to each other, or is it too late for forgiveness?
There is so much I want to tell everyone, but you just have to read it! I was so into the story that I never realized my kindle was slowly reaching 100% and I was not ready for it to end! We are once again left with a cliffhanger, and left begging for book 3 ASAP! If you have not picked up The Celtic Knot Series yet, you are missing out! It is so more than just your average BDSM novels. The passion between Ashley and Dominic is so intense, you can literally feel the pain, the love, the hate, and everything in between. I am a HUGE fan of Cassy Roop and can't wait to see what she has for us next!

Boy does Cassy Roop know how to keep her readers in suspense! Both Book 1 and 2 end in pretty big cliffhangers that will have readers ready to throw their eReaders across the room, but that’s exactly why her Celtic Knot series is a must read! To be able to have readers that invested in a writer’s storyline illustrates the strength of her writing and the development of her characters.
At the end of Ashley’s Bend, Ashley was blackmailed into betraying the man she loved, and her betrayal led to Dominic being taken away in handcuffs, and her heart being destroyed. Figure Eight picks up right where book 1 left off, and the fallout from Ashley’s actions continue to play out. Everyone Ashley is close to has turned on her due to her lies, and now, she’s left b to deal with the people who are not only ruining her relationship with Dominic but also trying to destroy his life and career. She has no way out of the situation she finds herself in because the risks are too high for those she cares about, so as she tries to figure out a way to turn the tables on her blackmailers, she has to go it alone, which may end up destroying her more than anything else. And then there’s Dominic…the one woman he allowed into his life fully ends up doing the most damage, and he doesn’t know how to handle it. His head tells him to forget her and get his revenge, but his heart and body still desperately want her, which leaves him quite conflicted. Will the truth finally surface? Can Ashley and Dominic repair their bond, or will they be left to pick up the pieces alone and shattered?
Figure Eight is an absolute gem of a read. Because it is written from both Ashley and Dominic’s perspectives, readers see the torment and anguish both are experiencing due to those wreaking havoc on their lives. Cassy Roop does a tremendous job of allowing us to understand the difficult position both are in and feel their emotions unravel through the development of her characters. The storyline flows smoothly, and the suspense builds throughout the text until secrets are exposed. There are plenty wtf moments, and while the truth seems to be prevailing, there’s still plenty left up in the air by the time the ending arrives, which will leave readers questioning Ashley and Dominic’s fates.
I usually don’t have a problem waiting for the next book in a series to come out, but I will be waiting impatiently for this one because from the beginning of book 1 until the end of book 2, I could not put them down. I read them both in one day and was left thinking about Ashley and Dominic’s story for days after. Hopefully, when book three releases, Ashley and Dominic will get the reunion that I’ve been hoping for since the end of Ashley’s Bend. I can’t wait to see how it will all play out!

okay first up! you MUST read Ashley's Bend before you embark on this one, not all is recapped!
so, following on IMMEDIATELY from Ashley's Bend we catch up with Ashley, Dominic, Knox and Kelly, in the aftermath of Ashley's betrayal. Dealing with all that THAT entails, along with the broken hearts that Ashley and Dominic are nursing, is just a little too much for either of them to bear. Throw in a new love interest for Ashley, and corrupt police officer and a woman hell bend on getting what she wants, and you got a fast paced, grabs-you-and-doesnt-let-go book, that i read in one sitting, in just under 2 hours!
AND duck me ( it wont let me swear on my review!) she did it again!! After Ashley's Bend i was worried that such a good book wouldnt be followed up so well, but i need not to have done. Its again written in the first person, flipping from Dominic and Ashley, BUT it didnt bother me so much this time, perhaps because i knew it was sritten like that. AND we also get some of Kelly, and the slime balls behind the blackmailing scheme. I;m not gonna say who, because that might give it away. I didnt get who was "the boss" til it was revealed, keeping me on my toes til the end!
ANd the end!! Ashley's Bend was left on MAHOOSIVE cliff hanger, but this one?? THIS ONE??? my poor kindle ended up clear across the room. (in the laundry basket, so its fine!) i was so like ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
suffices to say, i NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED the next book, like YESTERDAY!!!
5 full, twisting, cliffhanging, freaking fangs!!

Okay. Wow..I, yeah..Wow. Cassie..WHAT. HAVE. YOU . DONE. TO. ME?!?! I mean... THE END!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!! But.. BUT...prior to that ending, I got so much out of this book. There is so much going on, I literally felt like I read the whole book with butterflies in my stomach. I could NOT put this book down. I had to know what happened next. I was literally biting my nails wondering how Ashley was going to get out of the predicament she was in.
This sequel was done exquisitely..Cassie does an amazing job with this book. Not only are you hanging on every word, but every time you think you know who is involved and what is going on..you're surprised. I didn't expect (*&^%$$ to be the boss. I didn't expect her to **&&)3-0I3948_@)#($*. I didn't expect Kelly ((*#&^@^#)$). So much I didn't see coming, and the whole time, while all this is going down... Ashley is doing this all alone. And what Dominic does to her!!! What he does to her!!! OMG. Just OMG! Do I need to tell you that Cassie's writing style has a way of pulling emotions out of you, so you go through everything with the characters? The depression, the nervousness, the anxiety, the hope. You feel it all right along with them. So good. so so so good! Then the ending.... THE ENDING! I hate cliffhangers, and even I thought that was done exceptionally well.

This book is absolutely amazing and Cassy Roop did not disappoint. The last book, Ashley’s Bend, left an aggravating cliff hanger (only because I needed to know what the heck was going to happen). This book gave me more unexpected twists and turns from love, sex, betrayal, drama and the need for revenge.
Ashley is left with trying to protect her friends, while dealing with psychotic police officers, Dominic’s co-workers and so-called trusted friends. She can only hold off so much longer before she snaps or spirals down into a self destructing path of her own.
Only does she find out that not only is she protecting her love Dominic and her best friend, but there’s a new person whom she needs to make sure she protects. Yet telling Dominic is risky and could blow everything. In the midst of it all, she finds an unexpected friend, Rowan, who Dominic feels is a threat all while he also feels Ashley is betraying him. The love they feel for one another is unbreakable and spell bounding and it seems that no one or nothing can break them apart.
Then you are left with the ending…that’s all I have to say because I’m dying here to find out what happens. I am literally gripping my Kindle waiting for the next book to find out what happens!

I had the honour of beta reading this book Thank you
OMG Cassy you done it again, Figure Eight pulled me in and kept me gripped to the very end. Every time you think something was going to happen or someone done something, the story took another twist, which I loved.
This book carries on from Ashley's Bend. After Dominic is carted off to prison, everyone turn's their back on Ashley because of the lies she's been telling. They can't forgive her for ruining Dominic's life. Ashley is left in a terrible predicament which involves her being blackmailed, she can't see a way out because the risks are to high.
Dominic can't believe the only woman he's ever loved could break him and try to ruin his life. Will Dominic ever forgive Ashley?
I the love the fact the story is in both Ashley and Dominic's points of views. You can feel the characters emotions. The ending off the book has left me wanting more!!

Author Cassy Roop is truly a phenomenal erotica author! I love this series and highly recommend it to everyone! She knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and leaves you craving more. She is also the queen of cliffhangers hehe. The raw emotion that I experienced while reading this was just… WOW! Not only was I in tears, I felt every Angry emotion that Dominic felt, every Heartbreaking emotion Ashley felt. I mean the pictures she paints for her readers, every single detail or emotion of the character physically pulls you into the story that you feel apart of their world. Cassy has out done herself once again with this 2nd book. I absolutely love that she was able to capture my imagination, draw me into the book and have me not be able to put it down! AND OH MY GOD THE ENDING!!!! You will literally be ripped in two when you get finished with this book.
July 24, 2014
I was lucky enough to get to beta read Figure Eight. It was amazing!! All I can say is hold on tight and get ready for all kinds of emotion.

This book!!! It was so intense from beginning to end!! I was on edge the entire time ha I would laugh one second then say WTF the next and I loved every minute of it. I fell in love with Dominic and Ashley in Ashley's Bend and I just fell more in love with them in this book. Throughout the whole book I just want to scream at Ashley for one thing then Dominic for another ha they were a mess but such a lovely mess. I don't want to give any spoilers away because this is a book you need to experience for yourself. This book will grab you and suck you in, you will not be able to put it down. All of the characters will grab your attention in one way or another. Figure Eight is in my top 5 reads for 2014. Fantastic job Cassy Roop!! Cannot wait for the third book!!!

What can I say! I was so anxious to see what would happen to Dominic & Ashley. How would she get herself out of the horrible mess and I was so mad at her for letting it happen that I didn't know if I could forgive her! Ashley has alienated everyone around and no one can figure out why; Dominic wants to hate her but can't find it as easily as he would like. The story wraps around you and pulls you in and doesn't let go. I loved the story line, intrigue and the love. Ashley learns to rely on her own instincts and finds some unlikely allies along the way. Will the truth come out before it's too late?

Cassy Roop has got me hooked. I love that this series is about the world of BDSM but isn't at the same time. It is a great story with amazingly deep characters. It has some detailed hot scenes but they are not the main focus. I have laughed and cried and been at the edge of my seat throughout this book. The book is long enough to develop the story and still leaves you with a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book. Ashley and Nic deserve that HEA after all they have gone through so I hope they get it. I'm also hoping that Kelly and Knox get more depth too! I would love to see how their story develops.

This has you feeling so many emotions. I just wanted to strangle Ashley! She has given up her whole support system and trying to go it alone. She does find an ally in an unexpected place and is able to lean on them. My heart just broke for Nic. Since he's opened his heart he can't control the rage and passion he feels. His heart and mind are at war with each other and slowly driving him to things he would not otherwise have done. I couldn't put this book and I can't wait to find out what's going to happen Dominic and Ashley next.

This was one of the most infurating book I have ever read! I wanted to throw my Kindle more times than I care to count. Ashley is one of the most frustrating characters I have ever read at times I think I even hated her. With that being said I loved ever word!!!!
It is awesome when a book provokes so much emotion you have to stop reading and calm down. I can't wait to read the next one!

Bought it and read it today! Great follow up to Ashley's Bend, and I will definitely be picking up Triquetra when it comes out. Cassy Roop did it again!

October 1, 2014
WOW! WOW! WOW!
I was nervous going into this book because I knew what was
to come but OMG I didn't know it would rip my heart out!
We were left in Celtic Knot where Ashley has shattered Dominic’s
heart with all these lies she is having to say in order to protect her friends
and her love, Dominic. Watching her be
played like a puppet pissed me off so much. The shit she had to go along in
order to ensure their safety was just horrible. My heart broke for Dominic over
and over again. That man is tough as nails but with Ashley his heart is hers.
After everything he went through and the stuff she did, that man still loved
her. I mean he loved her hard! Although I knew Ashley was forced to do the things
she was doing it was still hard to swallow the things she did.
“I went to get answers, Knox. I’m going fucking crazy. I can’t stop
thinking about her, I can’t get her off my fucking mind. I can’t stop hating
her, but worst of all I can’t stop loving her.”
You will feel the emotions and rawness of what the
characters are going through. I don’t want to go into much detail about the
story or I will spoil it. There is so much more twist and turns and then there
is some unexpected news that unravels. I was glued to my kindle because I
needed to know how this was all going to end. Then when it ended I wanted to
scream! Yes, you are left with a cliffy and I feel like heart is in my stomach!
The next book is due in the fall and I will be on pins and
needles till it’s out! This series just keeps getting better and better and I
just know the next book is going to be Awesome!!

Sexy, suspenseful and overall absolutely brilliant; Cassy Roop has done it again with Figure Eight, Book 2 in the Celtic Knot series. I loved Ashley's Bend but Figure Eight takes the emotion to a whole new level. If you haven't read Ashley's Bend, I highly suggest you go out and purchase a copy right now and do not continue reading this review.
In Ashley's Bend, Dominic Michaels, Owner and Dominant at the Celtic Knot in Chicago falls head over heels in love with Ashley, a recent divorcee and submissive in training at the Celtic Knot. The two find something inside one another that they have never had with anyone else. Ashley is fresh out of a marriage where she couldn't have anything she wanted, she wanted a baby and instead she got a husband who was doing his secretary and was more content at work than he was at home with a woman that loved him. Dominic refuses to let women in, he's never been in love. He saw what being in love with his father did to his mother and he's sworn off relationships. He finds his pleasure in the female form and has sex a lot to get his mind off his feelings.
That is until Ashley tears down his walls and makes him fall in love with her only to be betrayed beyond measure at the end of Ashley's Bend. Dominic is shredded emotionally. He's never felt this way not by a long shot for a woman. How could he let someone so close only to have them destroy him so thoroughly. In jail for his supposed crimes, Dominic fights for his life, his best friend Knox' life and also for the life of his clubs across the country. Not only was his heart destroyed but his livelihood as well when Ashley betrayed him and turned him in at the end of Ashley's Bend. Now Dominic is left to try to put his life back together, get out of jail and try to forget he ever met Ashley, but that will be easier said than done. The woman is like a poison to his psyche. He can't shake her and worse he doesn't really want to.
When these two come together in Figure Eight, the sex is even more explosive than it was in Ashley's Bend. They are positively on fire for one another. Every touch, every naughty act, brings the other to heel and will have you absolutely panting for what comes next. The ending is gasp worthy and will knock the air from your lungs. But, rest assured there is a book 3 and an HEA coming our way. Ashley is friends with Rownan, a Dominant that we met in Ashley's Bend. He becomes the only person she can trust and wait till you see how Dominic reacts to this new turn of events. All I can say is she better end up with Dominic!
Cassy Roop is a master story teller and a Queen in my book at suspense. She had me on the edge of my seat. I haven't devoured a book in a day and a half in a while but I just couldn't put Figure Eight down. I love Dominic and Ashley and I can't wait to see what happens and how it all plays out in Triquetra, Book 3!

This book has 5 stars but I want to give her 4 for giving me a heart attack of a cliffhanger LOL!!
Cassy has done it again!! Another amazing book by an amazing author! If you have not read Ashley's Bend, the first in the Celtic Knot Series, DO NOT read Figure Eight!!
A knot can bind together, or choke you to death. That is what has seemed to have happened with our amazing couple Nic and Ash.
Figure Eight picks up right where Ashley's Bend left off, and the repercussions from Ashley’s actions continue to play out. Everyone Ashley is close to has turned on her due to her lies, and now, she’s left to deal with the people who are not only ruining her relationship with Dominic, but also trying to destroy his life and career. She has no way out of the situation she finds herself in because the risks are too high for those she cares about, including a new man in her life. As she tries to figure out a way to turn the tables on her blackmailers, she may end up losing more than she ever thought.
And then there’s Dominic…the one woman he allowed into his heart, only to betray it. His head tells him to forget her and plot his revenge, but his heart and body still desperately want her. He is seeing her with another man, a man he knows, and it is tearing him apart. Fighting his desires for her vs. his rage of anger for what she has done to him both personally and professionally. "No matter what I did, my thoughts always went back to her. I felt like I was constantly chastising myself for allowing her to invade my thoughts. It was like a fucking figure eight knot. We were two loops formed by one continuous line that crossed one another, an interweaving pattern that chased each other around, never ending."
Confusion only escalates for Nic because he is left to fight his innocence with his best friend and HERS. None of them can understand Ashley's actions for what she has done to them all. Betrayal is not a character trait for Ashley and they know it. They just have to figure out why and keep their distance at the same time.
Will the truth finally surface?
Story to continue in the third book of the series: Triquerta which cannot come soon enough!!!!

Rating: 4.5 stars, but worthy of rounding up
To begin, I have a confession... I had all but sworn off reading Erotica. I'm not a prude, but I want to read a book with excellent characters and story instead of sex scene after sex scene. I'm also not looking for total shock value. Thanks Cassy Roop for giving me confidence that Erotica books can have depth.
Okay, now for the review...
See the summary above for basic plot line, because I want to jump into what I loved about this book. First, it is very well-written and edited; another problem I was finding in Erotica books. Even better, there are memorable characters with emotional depth. Ashley is struggling with what she knows she must do and what she wants, and it's tearing her up inside. Dominic is in pain and lashing out. Yet, I still felt the love underneath their pain and fear. (And I didn't even read book one!)
I was captivated by the story line and how Ashley was going to get out of a very rotten situation. There were twists and turns I wasn't expecting. The ending came at me fast and furious, leaving me breathless for the next book. Warning: It's a cliffhanger, and I was searching for the last page hoping it wasn't quite over.
And, yes, there are steamy sex scenes. Although they weren't mild by any means, it never stepped over to offensive in my humble opinion. It wasn't just about the physical release of sex; it was about the depth of their connection and emotion.
I highly recommend Figure Eight for readers who want amped up sex but aren't willing to sacrifice story and characters to get it.
Note: I received a complimentary copy for review purposes. A positive review was not guaranteed or requested; the opinions expressed are my own.

This is book #2 of The Celtic Knot Series. You must read in order to understand the series of events that are played out. This was another 5 star read for me. This book picked up exactly where Book #1 finished.
Dominic is completely and utterly destroyed by the one person he fell in love with, Ashley Carter. Will he ever understand why she has done the things she has for him? Is she truly cold hearted or is it just her showing her love for Dominic?
Who are the people that you trust the most? Do you really know someone as good as you think you do? Will Ashley’s friends see who the real enemy is? Who is really the mastermind behind all the blackmail and deceit? What is causing Ashley to act this way? Is this her true nature or who will blackmail who to get justice?
This book will also leave you with a cliffhanger. Have you ever read the end of something and said wait, did that just happen? So you go back and read the last few pages again? That’s what I had to do, because I couldn’t believe what transpired and from whom it came from. I look forward to another fabulous read by Cassy Roop in Book #3 in The Celtic Knot Series!

I read both Ashley's Bend for the first time and then went right into Figure Eight and read both books in two days. I could not put either book down so that should tell you that this is an amazing series....
You have to read Ashley Bend first to know the background of the characters, Ashley Carter and my heart...Dominic Michaels. After Ashley betrays Dominic in a sick blackmail game I just could not for the life of me think why the hell Dominic would keep going back to Ashley for more and more...The answer love.
Dominic was so deeply, undeniable in love with Ashley that his love and the so called betrayal had actually tormented him to no end. My heart went out to him because this was for the first time in his life real love a love that he only ever felt from the love of his mother that he lost at a very young age. As for Ashley yes she is trying so hard to protect Dominic from losing everything included the Celtic Knot and now she has something else that will need protection. Can she do what has to be done to put an end to this devious game of blackmail.
Well just so you know, Cassy has once again left us with a cliffhanger! No it doesn't stop here with Figure Eight, we will have to wait anxiously hoping that she gets the next book done fast and I mean fast....

I swear I cannot take it...not that the cliffhanger was really bad because you do get a snippet of the next book but it was bad enough to leave me leaning on the edge wondering still what happens next.
I'm so glad I bought both books at the same time only if I could have the third waiting for me. I'm gonna go crazy waiting.
This book had so much suspense and drama and angst that I didn't think I was going to be able to sit still, it had me on the edge of my seat. I was up and down so much I may of worn a hole in the chair. It was that crazy.
My mind wasn't on food, cleaning, parenting, or anything other than this book. I went from iPad to iPhone because I would kill out the batteries reading. I wanted Ashley to tell, I wanted someone to figure it all out but no one put the pieces together and poor Dominic just though Ashley was intentionally ripping his world apart. Oh and I so knew well maybe I was so hoping what was about to happen when Ashley got her sinus infection. Squee!!!!
What I wasn't happy about was that her charges still stood and now I have no idea what's about to happen with her and Dominic and the new situation.
Oh please release it early, I mean today is early right???

This is my 4 star review for Figure Eight, Ashley’s Bend #2, by Cassy Roop.
Figure Eight picks right up where Ashley’s Bend left off. Dominic and Ashley have found themselves in a situation that neither of them wants to be in. Dominic feels betrayed and Ashley feels hopeless. Can Dominic get out of the nasty situation he has found himself in? Can Ashley get over the devastation her actions have caused her?
I can say that I felt just about every emotion while reading this book. I thought that the writing was good but it felt like there was a lot of frustration with Ashley. I wanted to shake her and scream “just tell him already!” I can’t believe that ending, she left me hanging AGAIN! I was biting my nails until the last word. Cassy is really good at cliffhangers. The leading villain of the book (don’t want to give spoilers), well let’s just say that I hope they get what they deserve in book three! I loved the heat but then again I have always thought Dominic had something special about him. I am looking forward to more surprises from Cassy and the guys from The Celtic Knot!!
I look forward to reading the next book of the series coming later in 2014!

Omg Cassy Roop is bloody awesome this is book 2 in the Celtic knot series and this is a must read series for those who love a awesome book with a bit of darkness, love, despair and in the end hope but be warned it does have a cliffhanger ending but book 3 is currently being written so you wont have long to wait to find out what happens next.
what do you do when the person you love the most is the one person who you have to hurt to keep them safe. the whole world is caving in on Ashley and she can’t find a way out of the trouble she is in will Dominis ever be able to forgive her for destroying his trust and making him hurt as much as he does? when there's noone to turn to and you're lost and lonely do you just give up or fight, fight for your friends and a way out fight for the guy you love and who still loves you even though he hates what you have done to him.
Buy it today and find out for yourself just how awesome this series is. I’m addicted to it and Cassy has made it to my top 5 authors she knows how to write characters that draw you in and are real with a storyline that will leave you crying, yelling and laughing.

Ashley destroyed him, absolutely. After he has finally opened his heart up it's torn apart by Ashley's lies. Now facing jail he struggles to understand why she did what she did and the love/hate conflicting feelings he has for her.
Ashley is in pain, everything she has done and is doing is to protect those she loves. No matter the cost to herself she hate herself for the things shes done, but will keep doing what it takes to keep everyone she cares for safe. How far will she have to go though and at what point will she break?
Ashley is strong, more than she ever realized and this story show it in spades. She feels deeply and loves unconditionally. Dominic worried me a bit in this one I still love him but the way he delt with his hurt feelings was a bit much at times.
There's even more going on than we ever suspected and now we see it all play out. We see the feelings of everyone and how it inpacts the story and while I enjoyed seeing it all play out reader beware it's another one of those evil cliffhanger endings!!!!!

There's even more going on than we ever suspected and now we see it all play out. We see the feelings of everyone and how it inpacts the story and while I enjoyed seeing it all play out reader beware it's another one of those evil cliffhanger endings!!!!!
