**Received a copy of ebook from the author for an honest review.**

"I only want you."

Another great book written by the author. It's starts right from where it ended in Volume 1. Alexander and Alexia both get to know each other more in this part. They are in Dubai to handle onto the situations which were caused due to bomb attack. Things have taken a drastic turn in this book. Alexander is becoming more and more controlling and possessive. He expects Alexia to change everything for him though same goes for him too. It is not wrong of Alexia to think as to why so suddenly Alexander wants to settle down, him being so successful. Something is nagging her continously in relation to his past. When both of them return from Zurich, Alexia finds Alexander in a compromising position with someone from his past...oooppss. ..!!!

"Oh, baby, you're the sun that has dawned in my life," he whispered, his lips touching mine. "Without you there's no light."

"You are made for me. Just for me."

I must say this book was no less. I mean the way in which both Alexander and Alexia are madly in love with other is hot. But damn I must say it's so infuriating sometimes seeing both of them jealous and snapping at each other continously. But at the same time it's adoring too. There are still questions yet to be answered. Alexander's past no doubt is holding loads of secret. Cliffhangers.... argh. .. I need to read the next part now as to get my answers.

"You make me want you all the time, Alexia. No other woman has had such power over me. And you must remember this once and for all."

In this book we see more of Alexia insecurities in the relationship with Alexander. Alex past is coming back to bite him in the butt when Alexia are asking him questions he knew that would hurt her. I can see that Alexander really loves her and he is doing his best to show her. Oh, I so dislike Vanessa by the way. Another cliffhanger. Now I have to find out what's going on. Will their love survive or will it be over for Alexia and Alexander? I can't wait to read the next book.

“Alexia, be more responsible and check your cell from now on.” He sounded like my father, which made me roll my eyes."

“God, how soft your lips are. You’re so sweet. What have you done to me, Alexia? I’m losing myself in you,” he whispered, his lips touching mine. “I want you forever. I want you to be mine. Just mine.”

“You make me want you all the time, Alexia. No other woman has had such power over me. And you must remember this once and for all.”

“I hear every word, baby. It’s you who’s not hearing me. You are made for me. Just for me. I’ve finally met the woman of my life and I want to be with her, with YOU.”

Francesco took a step toward me, hugged me, and we were about to give each other pecks on the cheeks when Alexander grabbed me by the waist and pulled me toward him in a gesture of possession. He was showing a sense of property toward me, keeping me only for himself and preventing any man from touching me. He’d managed to drill that into me already. I hadn’t met a more jealous man in my life.

“We have to talk,” he said in a quiet and seemingly calm voice.

ARC/R2R received for my honest review.

I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Sharlyn :)

So this is book 2 in the series and i think that Alexander & Alexia are one of my favorite book couples..this time the detonation of a bomb in Kraftberg’s hotel takes Alexander and Alexia to Dubai

The strength of A & A's attraction, desire and need for each other is palatable. You can feel it rolling off the page. It hits you every single time. It's scorching. Consuming. Riveting. Intoxicating. But lust isn't enough to make a relationship truly work. In order for their love to have the room to properly and healthily develop, they have to learn to trust each other. And that truly is what is at the heart of this book. Trust. It was sometimes frustrating to read through their jealousy for each other BUT I sympathized with both of them about their insecurities and worries..Alexander is still holding everything back about his secrets...There were times when I wanted to bang their heads together, to scream at them to stop with the jealousy thing!!!

Alexia & Alexander are both VERY jealous types, obsessive, possessive and very alike and it makes for an explosive relationship both in the bedroom and out.

So far i really like Alexander...He’s a wonderfully attentive powerhouse of a lover, a controlling, domineering uber-alpha hero and drop-dead gorgeous..We frankly do not discover much about him in this book. Not much is divulged and of course that just leaves me wanting so much more information about this extremely passionate guy. I’m intrigued by him.. Alexander is as mysterious as he is gorgeous..

Limits of Destiny Volume 2 is an intensely passionate and sexy story

*PS. If you haven't read book 1, Limits of Destiny Volume 1, yet, do be sure to start with it. This is a continuation of the story that started there, it is NOT a standalone.

Be prepared for a cliffhanger

I really CAN'T WAIT to see what will happen next and i would love a dual POV in book 3!

Do I recommend it? YES! Happy Reading everyone!

After falling for Alexander and Alexia in book one, I suspected that things may take a turn for the worse in the second book. After all who's going to read a series where everyone is always happy-go-lucky and in love without any of the drama?
However, this book did not go quite as I expected. While in Dubai, to check on the status of one of his hotels, Alexander and Alexia are forced to deal with some issues from their pasts. As more details of Alexander's sordid history comes to the forefront Alexia starts to doubt her place in his world, not that I blame her. How can this handsome, wealthy, playboy ever really settle down? As these fears continue to weigh on Alexia, Alexander begins to show a pattern of possessive and domineering behavior.
When they return to Zurich, Alexia's worst fears are confirmed when she finds Alexander in a compromising position with a woman from his past. Will these two be able to work past their issues and find love with one another? At this point I'm not so sure.
Thank goodness I already have the third book so I can jump right back into their story and get some answers:)

The second series is a bit more intense than the first, the love that this couple shares is very strong. This keeps you wanting to know more on what is to come. Just when you think you know what is going to happen you are wrong. Such excellent writing. A definite must read.

“God, how soft your lips are. You’re so sweet. What have you done to me, Alexia? I’m losing myself in you,” he whispered, his lips touching mine. “I want you forever. I want you to be mine. Just mine.”

description

WOW! That line made my heart skip a beat.

I love the first book and I'm loving the second book of this series. Alexander what have you done to me?...Waaahhh... You're so amazing!
What I love in this book is that you will feel the strong connection and attraction between Alexander and Alexia. It's like love a million times, butterflying beautiful. Even Alexia felt jealous and insecure about Alexander's past, you will see how Alexander shows how he really feels for Alexia.

“I hear every word, baby. It’s you who’s not hearing me. You are made for me. Just for me. I’ve finally met the woman of my life and I want to be with her, with YOU.”


Alexander is a very possesive, controlling, alpha man but when it comes to Alexia you will see his soft spot and how a man experience to fall in love.
This book made me fall in love all over again.

Sooo excited for the 3rd book. And the good thing is it has vol.4! Squueee... More story of Alexander and Alexia. Love it!

*** A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review***

The second book is just as amazing as the first one such an invigorating and alluring series!

Alexia and Alexander travel to Dubai to check on the status of one of his hotels, but while everything in Paradise looks calm it’s not. Alexia is feeling insecure and can’t get over Alexander’s past, she can’t accept the fact that he chose her to settle down with. Alexander is really trying he doens’t want to hurt Alexia.

Alexander only knows how to deal with Alexias fears by showing his possesive and dominant side. When they return to Zurich, Alexia’s fear come to life and she finds Alexander with a woman from his past it’s heartbreaking and devastating. Will she be able to move past this and face their issues head on? I can’t believe it my heart literally hurt, I don’t know if I can move past what he did or if Alexia will.

Can’t wait to keep reading I need answers as devastating as they may be I have hope for these two amazing characters!

Wonderful series a definite must read!!!

Yet again Sharlyn Branson pulled me right back into Alexander and Alexia's lives from the first page.
I found myself sucked in, ignoring the things I should be doing opting to stare at my kindle for a few hours.
Alexander and Alexia head to Dubai in this volume, to handle the bombing of his hotel. During this time their relationship gets stronger and while Alexia is still insecure and a bit afraid she'll never be enough for him, her best friend sheds some light on how she's behaving and Alexia jumps in with both feet only to end the book on a heart wrenching cliffhanger.

The second book only leaves me begging for more, while I'm still not completely sure of Alexander I want more, I need more from him. He's asking Alexia to give up so many things, I need to see him give up something for her. And not just his womanizing ways, that was done before they met so I'm dying to see him actually work with her instead of demanding things. Looking forward to book three!!

Wow!!!! Addictive and thrilling!!!

*I received this book in exchange of an honest review*
Wow! Just Wow! This book is totally addictive and thrilling!!! A wonderful rollercoaster!!! The story keeps on getting better and better!!!! I was given this book to read as a standalone but i beg of you to read the first one before!!! Without the first book, this sequel will just seem incoherent and chaotic!
Entertaining, with lots of ups and downs, Alexander and Alexia's love story can become a little annoying at times, but then something jumps up (like the cliffhanger) and you are totally addicted again!!!! Impossible to put down, i really enjoyed vol.2! Well written and well researched, this sequel is full of angst and twists!!! I loved it!!! I can't wait to see what happens in vol.3!!!!

I was given book 2 in return for an honest review!!!!

What can I say about book 2 except I still sometimes hate and wanted to scream at and kill Alexander for his obnoxiousness and possessiveness and as well as still loved him for his sexyness, power and ooze of manliness!!!

Alexia is still as strong person but in this book we see a bit more of her and her history

Their Relationship is sill toxic as is intoxicating!!! Especially bringing other people (Ex's) into the mix; the deadly Vanessa and Ralph....

And I wasn't expecting that as a cliffhanger!!!! Now we need to find out what's happening!!!!

I was giving a copy of this book in exchanges for my review of Limits of Destiny: Vol.2 (Limits of Destiny, #2)


Easily to read, with some tingly erotic chapters, the book is the entrance ticket for Alexias emotional roller coaster.
And she takes you with her. The story is tenderly accompanied by pieces of music and the local color of gorgeous places. Written highly emotional with a sense of humour it delivers the message that the strongest stimulus in our lives is - LOVE.
Enjoy !

I enjoy finding new authors, and hope that I enjoy their books, and as with the first book, this one did not disappoint.
The book continues to follow Alexia and Alexander as they grow closer. This time they go on a mini vacation for Alexander's work.
Though I sometimes found Alexander to be a little too controlling, he makes up for it in various ways. Will be interesting to see what happens in book 3.

I was gifted this book for an honest review.

At times during this book I loved Alexander and at times I wanted to scream in his face, he is an obnoxious man who wants to demand what Alexia does and wears,.

Alexia is a strong women who knows what she wants but being in love with Alexander is making her a bit softer, although she still stands up for herself she gives in at times.

Their relationship is serious sexual!

OMG the ending ,how could you do that to us Sharlyn Branson!

This review is from: Limits of Destiny (Volume 2) (Kindle Edition)

Just finished Volume 2 and this books just keeps getting better and better, so sexy so hot. Alexander and Alexia have spent the majority of time in Dubai. The author has kept us glued to the story now however we see Alexander is a jealous person and wants Alexia to himself, she is worried it will not last. I must get volume 3 now to see how this is going to go since Alexia has agreed to move in with Alexander.

If you liked the first book, you will love the second.
The story continous in an exotic environment, but you recognize in every line that the author clearly gives you the impression to have visited all those countries and places.
The characters are developing further and you can quickly share the gamut of emotions with the loving couple.
Don't miss to read.

Received this book for and honest review.

I can honestly say that this is a book that I loved. The storyline, the hidden secrets and the sex was placed perfectly at the right places in the book.

I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind having an Alexander Kraftberg talking to me the way Sharlyn Branson writes.

I personally love cliffhangers and Sharlyn Branson took me there.

Happy Reading!!!

I really enjoyed it. But I have to admit that Alexander really does annoy me. He's very controlling and way too jealous. Poor Alexia always trying to please him and constantly overanalyses everything she does. Now, the ending though... I truly wonder what Alexander will say to get out of trouble. Definetely looking forward to the next one.

In the last book we learned that Vanessa had tried to warn Alexia that she shouldn't get used to being with Alexander as he will just throw her away once he is bored of her. Also we learnt that one of Alexander's hotel's in Dubai had bit hit by a bomb. Alexia hardly has the time to process anything that's going on but she wants to be with him no matter what.

As they both prepare to head off to Dubai Alexia can hardly wait as even though she knows Alexander will be working most of the time she loves that she gets to spend some time together with him. Although she is worried about the fact that he doesn't get much sleep and wants to be able to look after him, but he keeps brushing it off as that it doesn't matter and that the only thing she does need to worry about is him looking after her.

Whilst they are there they are both worried about the fact that the guy who ordered the bomb could still be after Alexander and if they are then they know that Alexia is a threat as well as they could come after her. However much Alexia insists that everything should turn out fine she can't help but worry about him as for all they know they might not ever catch the guy. Both Alexia's and Alexander's relationship is put to the test constantly as even though she keeps reassuring him that she doesn't love anyone else or even her exes for some reason all of her exes keep popping up unannounced and this is really starting to get to Alexander. However though Alexia feels that soon enough he will get bored of her and will find someone else even though he keeps promising her that there is no one else and that she has changed him for the good.

How will Alexia deal with everything when one of her exes suddenly declares his love for her and wants to be with her forever. Also how will she react when once again Vanessa seems to be involved and arrives unexpectedly at his house. Trust me you will be so deep into this book that when you finish it you will want to continue on, I'm really starting to love this series. I promise you that this book will not disappoint.

Dark past, double life and sexy hot scenes.

This book is deeply emotional. If you like this type of read, it would make you feel butterflies in your stomach or shiver as you read. However, if you are used to more trivial and light hearted type of books, which do not go deep into the psychology of the characters and their relationship, you may not be able to appreciate it for what it is.
I love this book! I love the passion, the strong relationship between the main heroes and the very HOT scenes. Alexander Kraftberg is a successful businessman with a very dominant character, dark past and a soft spot for women. People know little about his personal life because he did not have any. The most important thing for him is to build his company to one of the most successful property companies in the world.
Alexia Watson is a beautiful young woman, who has had a hard past because of the psychological traumas she had to go through in her past. She is very emotional and she needs a strong man on her side. She needs someone like Kraftberg, who can take care of her and love her for what she is. I love alpha male characters and Alexander is the definition of one. I love overprotective men who are ready to do anything to protect their loved ones. The book will take you to the Arab Emirates and will present you with the beauties of this country.
Amazing read. I look forward to reading the third book and finding out want happens next!
