Shattered Lives #2

Haunted by Him: Temptation

Rate this book
Her:
It’s research. Private. No emotions, no strings, and definitely no sex.
Just between the two of them. It's a secret she shares with a man who is wholly the opposite of the man she wants.
But he’s going to help.
Teach her to understand her own needs.
He accepts her. He sees her. And with his dominant ways, he offers her exactly what she craves.
Even as he satisfies her every desire, he can’t ease her shame.

Him:
He was alive but not living. He was alone in his appetites until her.
He found solace for the first time in his life.
In her, he found he could be so much more.
Her submission was intoxicating. It was a spark that flamed his darkest desires. What began as an exploration of pleasure, ended in a catharsis of lust. Exposing their hearts was never part of the bargain, but when has that ever mattered?
So, what now? Will their appetite for pain destroy them? Will their connection break them?
What happens when the masochist and the Dom both meet their match?
*WARNING: This book is an erotic romance with consensual sexual situations between characters including submission and domination.
BEST READ of 2019. Not even close. Uplifting heartbreaking. The intensity is so much. The chemistry between the lovers in this book is intense and I couldn’t get enough. Buy this book, and then cancel your plans.

They both need something from the other but losing their hearts to each other was not expected. Can it happen? Can they have a more normal relationship? See where they will be taken

Oh my what a sequel this book is and now I have to wait for Haunted by Him. Lanie Love has done it again. Aaron And Allie have a role in this book as do their parents Jay an Julia but the main focus is the relationship between Sage, Allie’s best friend, and Kent, Aaron’s younger brother. What a smoking relationship from the get go. Forbidden yet desired. You can’t help but want the, to be together. They are wonderful together but Sage’s live-in boyfriend is an issue. Drama dram drama all the way around and that doesn’t even come close to the explosive ending to this book. I loved this book even more than Haunted by You. Can’t not wait to read Haunted by Her so as to see what happens. Lanie is a master at weaving a fantastic story and she continues that with this book. You do not see certain things occurring until they do and you just want more and more!

Haunted By Him is captivating and enticing...while I was thrown a little bit by the different point of veiws, it allowed me to get a better understanding of the first book as I have yet to read it. Sage and Kent had me going through a roller coaster of emotions as we follow them through this story.

Haunted By Him is worth the read if you like different POVs and like to know what's going on outside of the main relationship that plays out in this book. Allie Cat and Air are super cute as well and I love how they all support each other through this difficult times for both families.

I will definitely have to read the first book to get a better understanding and will patiently wait for the next one as I'm intrigued to see how it plays out.

This book has everything from romance to erotica and it has the perfect combination of twists and turns to keep you guessing what can happen next in this drama!! Loved the book and cannot wait until book 3 comes out!! Lanie has a way with words that makes the reader dive into the book and believe you are right there in the middle of the drama... simply Amazing and could not put the book down once I started reading it!!! That cliffhanger though... it was the perfect way to end it but at the same time it had me yelling NOOO because I need to know what is going to happen next!! Do yourself a favor and read this book, you will not regret it!!

When Family Relationships Change!
by sewsummore

Falling in love and staying in love can be difficult when family relationships change. This is was happened to Allison and Wade but their love for each other was true. This was a story full of drama and loss, the characters torn by divided loyalties. the story line twisted with surprises and a new love found. This proved to be an entertaining read with a happy ending for all.

This is a story that went in a direction that the two main characters had not intended. There are some really emotional moments in this novel. The main characters have amazing chemistry and the drama about what they thought they wanted, think they now want or might want goes on, not in a boring way though, in an exciting and page turning way. There are steamy scenes in here so if that’s a no no for you then give this book a skip, unfortunately that would mean you miss out on an otherwise amazing book!

I normally hate duets, trilogies, or cliff-hanger type books but I felt invested in the outcome from the very first page! It was like these were real people and this situation could be real. I really thought this book was an awesome addition to the genre.
Great character development, steamy sex scenes and twists and turns to be able to sink into the book.

This book is Amazing so get to it! Not for the faint of heart or the impatient!

Raw tender— carnal sexy— fantastic real 10 SUPER NOVA STARS!!!!!

BEST READ of 2019. Not even close. Too much. She squeezes soooo much into every phrase. I wanna pause to enjoy, like wait. What didn’t I just read?

Emotional, angsty, romance that blisters your fingers swiping to read what’s next!!!

The chemistry between the lovers in this book is intense and I couldn’t get enough. Buy this book, and then cancel your plans. UNPUTDOWNABLE! Even on the reread, I lost so much time. Loved every minute.

The Wade brothers are gifts from alpha heaven. Night and Day is the best way to describe the amazing stories of love and possession here. They are so different but they both love so hard.

HBH Temptation is so tender at moments and gut wrenching at others. I keep rereading parts so many times and I always get that clench. You know, it starts in your throat and it feels like its tightening only it's not, and then goosebumps chase up your chest to your ears. Holy crap...can Love write! I couldn’t put this down. The sexy times where off the charts.

Aaron is the sweetest and most patient lover. Kent has his filthy ways and i wanted every scene to go on and on. Kent is beyond damaged and in such deep denial. I love a good redemption story.

Give me an alpha fighting his feelings and the smart sexy driven women with her own deep wounds, and I am in!!!!

Simply, this is an amazingly moving and sexy love story between two damaged but very compassionate people. And that’s just one of the couples in the hot hot hot book of romance and control and swoony men and women.

Mind blown...and other body parts. MORE MORE MORE

This is a story about Love and Healing. To see the love between Aaron and Allison grow is like a dream story but with real life drama. How they learn to maneuver through their ups and downs. And to see Wade finally learning to love himself. The sex is hot and the drama is even better. Lanie Love knows how to draw you in to the story. I can't wait for the next in this series.

Another twist in the saga

The Wade brothers have made it difficult to pick so I'll just take both. I wasn't so sure about Kent in book 1 but holy moly he was so hot and amazing to Sage in this book.
And then Aaron continued being his sweet self to Allie.
I am so invested in these characters that I can't wait to see what Lanie Love has in store next.

Kent is my favorite character so far in this series and I’m excited to see him fall in love! Haunted by Him is superbly written and continues the incredible story line in the Shattered Lives series. Allie and Aaron find their way back to each other and Kent meets his match! Can’t wait to read the next book in this series! Well done Lanie!

Lanie has a way of writing that satisfies the reader and bring the BOOM. These characters demand your submission and you'll have no problem giving it.

More sizzle than bacon. Hotter than hot scenes. Definitely worth reading and make sure you savor every page. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

This is the 2nd book I've read written Lanie Love; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Lanie Love has done it again. This book is Hot! Hunted by him takes you on a wild ride with the Wade’s, Turner’s and the Moore’s. It is a modern day version Beverly Hills 901210 with a healthy dose of kink. Each character has its own story but they converge and effect each other. I love that they are in and around LA. I can't wait for book three.

Loved loved this book. As much as I loved the 1st in the series, I enjoyed this one even more! The main charecters of Allie and Aaron continue on in this book and are happily moving forward with their relationship. Enter Allie’s best friend Sage and Aaron’s brother Kent. New charecters that you just fall in love with. Both have secrets and you just know that Sages is going to blow up and it does. How can you not love having the bad boy and your former boyfriend both come to rescue you from the big bad wolf? Lanie Love continues to weave an story with lots twists and turns. She left us wanting more and more. I can’t wait to read the 3rd in the series Haunted by Her!
