Twenty-nine-year-old Narine Carmichael is full of talent but going nowhere. Stuck, her life was no longer her own and the road that took her there was full of agony. When a blast from the past reappears in her life, she realizes how far gone she really is. In a fight for control of her life, she must decide if loyalty is worth the price she paid for her soul in exchange for the sins of her past.
Gunner Armstrong has finally figured out what he wants after thirty-one years and returns home to obtain it. Just when he’s ready to plant his roots and find peace, everything he left threatens the growth he seeks. In his own fight with the past, he must find a way to settle the dust before it muddles his future.
In this second-chance standalone romance, the reunion for these two lovers is anything but joyous. The stakes are high in this sweet, dramatic story of redemption and the illusion of control. Can the past be forgiven in an attempt to salvage the future? Is love enough to break a deal with the devil even if the collateral damage would be catastrophic?
Sweet Subjection had elements I enjoyed, but too many errors, missing words and confusing dialogue for me to applaud. This book just left too many unanswered questions. There were too many time jumps and suspense for the sake of who knows! Also, Narine and Noelle’s relationship with their parents made them seem much younger and way immature. I like Gunner, he was the perfect alpha male, however, I did not like how he didn’t seem to see his cousin and business partner, Caelan, as an equal in their business dealings.
Better then Sweetie’s story - that one I couldn’t make it through.
The whole, “I have a secret,” thing was an overkill. Ms. Faye dangled that carrot in front of us the entire book. It was very frustrating to keep reading about this big secret then when it was revealed, it didn’t even make sense. Not to mention, that it started off slow. There was nothing to like about Narine. She was passive aggressive at best. Of course Caelan and Gunner were strong characters but everyone else, left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, I will not be reading anymore of Ms. Fayes books, I do not have time to be strung along and not fulfill at the end.
