Hunter was everything Sadie always wanted. He was powerful, dominant, and gorgeous, and, most of all, he wanted her exactly as she was. When she threw caution to the wind and jumped into his bed, she believed that her life was finally beginning. She was ready to start living, and he was the one person she knew she could trust with her heart. That was until she found out that Hunter had owned her heart all along. When his past comes back to overturn Sadie's present in a way she never could have predicted, what will be left of the two of them? As Sadie struggles with embracing the truth, she's struck with a reality that makes her breathless. First loves, new loves, and an unthinkable future leave Sadie reeling. Is her heart strong enough to accept the unavoidable truth?
Deborah Bladon has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.
She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.
Exposed- Part Two has a good kick toward the ending. That cliffhanger! Like many of her books, Miss Bladon only use heroine's POV. I got too much of uncertainty/ doubt from Sandy. While the hero, Hunter is being kept mysterious.
I usually do not like insta connection/ lust/ love, but I think Miss Bladon does not want to waste much time on the romantic connection. She just got right into the plot. And guess what, it works.
I am not a feminist, but this book is REALLY bothering me with all the stupid sh*t Sadie does because apparently, Hunter's "private places" are too gorgeous...
As I previously wrote for book 1 review - I love this author's work. There is just something unsettling with this one with Hunters obsession with Sadie but also his loyalty to Coral the heart donors family - it just doesn't sit right.
Still the worst. I called this twist but Hunter is a fucking asshole....still. I didn't like Sadie in the other books, but even now I can't possibly think Sadie deserves his controlling weird behavior. Surely such a smart chick could realize this and GTFO.
4.5 stars. Hunter is still confusing but a little less so. Whereas it seemed unclear exactly how he felt about Sadie before, it's becoming apparent he feels a lot for her. Some information gets revealed, but not the whole story. Sadie is still uncertain about everything and I don't blame her for making certain assumptions. I do find it hard to resist liking Hunter, though. He may seem guarded and potentially untrustworthy, but he also seems genuine and sincere in his affection for Sadie. However, that's not enough and Sadie gets this. He's hesitant to tell her too much and as things begin to unravel more, even more questions pop up. At the same time, the information explains Hunter's behavior more and more. He and Sadie are very hot and cold but not because they don't care for each other, because Hunter is always thinking about her but he can't get past all of his secrets. When a big shoe drops at the end, things come crashing around Sadie in realization.
Just as captivating as Part One! It sucks you in, keeps you guessing and begging for more. Just when it's getting so juicy Deborah is a wicked woman and cuts you off! I'm pretty sure I yelled Ahhhh! How could she leave me hanging! It just has me begging for Part Three! The thing I like about Ms. Bladon's writing is it's steamy and believable. The story seems plausible though Hunter's secrets are driving me mad! I don't know how Sadie hasn't stayed away! She's thinking with the wrong part of her body but part of me wants to believe everything Hunter says! I think he is harboring so much guilt and doesn't know how to deal with the past, present and future all at once. Here's to knowing Part Three will be just as amazing as the rest!!
This series is just getting worse and worse and worse....I feel my inner feminist raging with frustration and anger. Exposed is dumb and Sadie is the worst. Hunter is a creeper and not even hot. I got whiplash from these two. There is some serious bipolar-ism coming from Sadie. Hunter was a cheating douche and needs his balls hacked off for lieing so much, it wasn't even necessary to lie about the stuff he lied about but he still lied. Pathetic. I'm so grumpy right now, just because this serious sucks ass.
Deborah Bladon has done it again. Every time you think you're getting to grips with the story she throws a spanner in the works! Following the revelation at the end of part one it was great to see how the characters reacted to that. Of course in Bladon fashion we were left with another cliffhanger at the end of part two. I don't want to spoil it by saying anything but I am excited to see what happens in part three.
No!!!!! Come on Hunter, Ryder, whatever you want to be called. I did not see that coming. I was beginning to really think Hunter was just having problems expressing his feelings to Sadie. While I thought he still had some secrets, I didn't expect them to be this big. Douche move on his part. Major let down. I'm beginning to look at Mr. Reynolds in an entirely different light. I'm disappointed in him and yet I'm even more excited to read part three. I'm anxious to see how this story will end.
Spoilers---- Ok! Now I'm pissed at Hunter/Zander whatever the hell his name his. How could he hurt Sadie like that, she's already so vulnerable thinking he wants her for the wrong reasons. But as usual I'm sure it's not as it seems so I will save judgement. Can wait to see the complications the author comes up with. Another great read, I enjoyed this one too and so glad I can continue right one to the next chapter...
It's the marking of a good book when you CANNOT, I mean, YOU CANNOT WAIT for the next installment. I really hope this is the last one, then I really hope it's not. I really wanted to reach into my kindle and smack Hunter a good 180degree slap. Does anyone know when the next one comes out?????? SOONNNNN I hope!!
I enjoyed this second book in the series. Hunter was so secretive when he didn't need to be, they both could've saved themselves a lot of heartache if he just told Sadie the truth and as in the first book, Alexa was so irritating, she could never be my friend as I wouldn't put up with her behaviour. Looking forward to the third book now.
You've done it again. I got totally pulled in and couldn't put the book down. So much passion, and to end it with such deceit that your heart breaks. I think my heart just fell out of my chest. Now I have to finish this book series to find out what happens next.
WHAT????? This book is a ROLLERCOASTER!!!!!!! The Ups and Downs will make you dizzy, hold your breath and turn your stomach!!!!!! Full of twists and big ones, you'll be thrilled till the end!!!! The story keeps getting better and better!!! I want to protect Sadie and just kick the hell out of Hunter!!!! Two thumbs up!!! Can't wait to see what happens the cliffhanger is killing me!!!!!
OMG! If I thought book one had jaw-dropping cliffhanger this one was even more shocking!!! Hunter and Sadie's chemistry is intense and the story is so deep. It has it all happiness, sadness, tragedy, angst, and of course good sex! I don't know how Hunter is going to get out of this one but there has to be some sort of explanation! I'm rooting for these two!!!
Hunter, aka Zander, is a total douchbag!! What a total dick! If I didn't know that Sadie ended up with Hunter because of the other series, I'd never believe that they ended up together- because right now I don't want him to have her!
I loved the romance in this book and the sexual chemistry throughout. It was well written and really kept my attention through the whole book. I loved the pitfalls that they had to overcome and the progress they made together. It was one of the better books.
