Goodreads Blurb

I'm a doctor. Mobster. Killer.
My hands are covered in filth. I don't have the right to touch anything as clean and pure as Ellison MacAllister.

I distance myself ... always remaining obscure, composed, restrained.
Careful to never allow my eyes to linger too long.
Careful to hide my interest.
Careful to keep my burning desire buried beneath the surface.

I do it for her--suffer in silence--because it's what is best for the woman I love.
And she has no idea.

She'll be initiated as a Fellowship member soon. One of my mafia brothers will go through endurance so he'll earn the right to claim her.
Make her his wife.
Kill. Me. Slowly.

I'm running out of time. Only a month remains before she's beyond my reach forever.
I want to taste her. Share sleepless nights. Ride out her storm.
I want to give her the kind of nights she will still feel between her legs the next morning.
I want us to share the kind of passion that forms on our skin and drips down to saturate the sheets.
Between the sweat and the moans and the messy hair, I want her to know how hard she's been loved.

To have her is to taint her.
I should stay away. But I won't. I can't.
I'm a selfish bastard.
A selfish bastard in love.

Thoughts

With the Sin Trilogy finished, Georgia Cates brought out this book which focuses on Ellison (Bleu's sister), and Jamie. The bones of this relationship were laid out during the previous book, and we follow Ellison's admission into The Fellowship, and Jamie's fight against himself about being able to protect her.

I really loved this story and thought it followed on so well from the Sin Trilogy, and I also liked that we got to learn more about the other family The Order, and what is needed for their retribution from the events of the last book.

I will admit that even though these books are stated as standalone, and can be read independently, I think it will enhance the story by reading the previous books in the series (especially when you read about Leith and Lorna, these sections can be a bit confusing if you don't know the backstory).

Out of all the couples Ellison and Jamie come second (I'm sorry I love Leith and Lorna and need to know more about them). Jamie and Ellison are such a good couple, and sometimes angst in a story can be a bit too much, but you really do get pulled into these characters lives.

Overall a great story, and a great addition to the series of books, and watch out for the review of Unintended, coming soon.
