My Review
WOW! Bound By Lies started out with a bang and ended the same way! This is a continuation of the first book "Broken Promises Never Mend". If you haven't read that book, you need to!!!
I was hooked from the very first page! The event that took place right at the beginning changed Tamika's life forever. I couldn't believe what she had to go through! On top of that, she gets those mystery flowers. All of the whispers on the phone, lies, and secrets that Quincy is keeping from her still is enough to just drive her over the edge. The sex scenes in this book are scorching hot!! I didn't know what to expect when Tamika had rose pedals leading up to the person in her bed. I sure didn't expect what happened! The way Quincy's friend Malik talked to Tamika after this incident made me wonder how he is going to be in the next book. He acted totally different from the rest of the book. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next!
I would highly recommend this book! It was a page turner from beginning to end! Allison "Essence M" Edwards wrote an excellent story and did an amazing job in continuing from the first book. It was perfectly written. She held my interest and kept me wanting more at the end! The very last word in this book made my JAW DROP! I am waiting in anticipation for the next book!
Quote from the book:
"It's amazing how we can love someone for so long and still not know them." (Kindle loc. 1536-37)
