Violet Haze is a big fan of writing & reading romance. The autistic mother of one, she currently lives in Ohio and is self-employed. When not working or writing, she spends her days reading, procrastinating, & listening to her son play video games she doesn't understand, at all.
As the blurb explains, the proverbial cat is out of the bag and Simone now knows that Isaac was her master. He makes it clear that she will not be leaving his house with their son and that's perfect because she has no desire to. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't struggle to understand why Isaac lied by omission and wouldn't tell her who he really was. He tries to show her some papers and explain but she already knows the story from her ex-husband. She drops more f-bombs which is pretty funny because he's still counting and she's still antagonizing him. It is epic when they finally come together for the first time with her knowing who he is. I love the explanation of the name Cara that he called her in Part one and the explanation of why he won't call her that now and the exact point in time that this conversation is taking place is perfect. Things are going well between them for a couple of weeks when something from Isaac's past rear's it's ugly head and by ugly I mean ex-fiance troubles. Here is where Ms. Haze throw's you for a freaking loop once more during the Mate serials. I didn't see the ending coming like it did. I'm not going to say it was perfect because I hate cliff hangers and I'm pretty sure I called her a few not so nice names because of this ending. Totally hooked and part four can not come soon enough for my taste.
Simone's compassion and ability to forgive is amazing and something that Isaac almost can't accept. We really get to see them grow as they face what really happened and the deception that followed. Isaac deserves to find happiness but he is so reluctant to allow it to happen. I love how Simone seems to know just how to push him to get him to open up and see the truth. Simone shows incredible strength as she copes with the deception but also opens herself up to love and something she never thought she would find for her and Malik, a family. Will we ever know what hurt Isaac so deeply to keep him away from love, breaking his ability to trust? Yes, we get just enough information and then a totally crazy cliff hanger.
With Isaac's secret now out just how will Simone react? After learning who he really is and how he is the man that she fell in love with, she just has the face to put to the one she knew as master. But now Isaac's past has come back to haunt him, will this mean trouble for Simone, Malik and Isaac?
After reading this I soooo desperately want the 4th book now, I am not a patient person and I said a few choice words with the cliffhanger of this book.
Issac and Simone's love story continues in part three of this serial. I always enjoy Violet's writing and Part Three has that same mix of sexy and romantic with just a hint of humor that makes the characters very relatable. Throw in a crazy twist that had me reeling and you've got one excellent read! I can't wait for Part 4 and anything else this author has in store!
Isaac and Simone's love story is beautiful now. They still struggle but it's getting better, forgiveness, understanding, love, sharing. They are getting there. I love how Simone helps Isaac open up and how she doesn't want to leave with their son. Their love for eachother is growing and it's a beautiful story. I can't wait to see what happens next. Great writing Violet!!!
Simone and Isaac work through their shared past and his secrets only to be bombarded with a skeleton left in his closet!! Hurry on to the next book to find out what happens!!
