Five Star Review
What I Loved
Wow! Once again Aleatha Romig has created a world or mystery,
intrigue and betrayal that I can’t get enough of. Cunning has picked up where Betrayal left off
with Alex facing the consequences of her decisions and it all blowing up in her
face. I couldn’t wait for the moment
Alex and Nox lay eyes on each other again and not only was it phenomenal when
they finally did but heartbreaking all at the same time. Alex is in so many ways is in over her heard
when it comes to her relationship with Nox and the issues with her family. But the physical attraction that was there
when they first met comes roaring back to life in many delightfully naked ways
throughout Cunning.
I love that there
are two sides to every story and in Cunning we get to see Alex’s mom, Adelaide’s
story. There are so many times my heart
breaks for Alex because of her family and seeing more of the Montague family
history answered a lot of questions. In
the first book I pitied her mother and some ways I still do but it’s great to
see how her choices in the past has shaped the present. I love complex characters and as this series
moves along the many layers of each character is finally starting to be peeled
away. This story is so complex and has
tons of twists and turns I just can’t get enough of it!
Not So Much
I really have nothing negative to say about this book. I think the mother was the most frustrating character
for me because I hate when someone has something to say and keeps on putting it
off. It becomes a little tiring and
annoying at times and it’s hard to understand why Adelaide just doesn’t spit it
out and explain everything to Alex.
To Sum It All Up!
This was yet another amazing Aleatha Romig book that left me
breathless with my eyes bugging out of my head.
Alex is thrown into a world she knows nothing about when it comes to Nox
and his lifestyle while at the same time beginning a journey she has always
dreamed of. Nox totally broke my heart
at times and made me smile like a giddy school girl at others. The intrigue builds and builds as the story
goes on and explodes at the end leading to another cliffhanger!
The details in this book were right on,
I could clearly picture Nox’s apartment in my heard or the actions or looks of
each character. The story answered some
questions while tons of other ones came up which I loved because I have no idea
how this will all end. I can’t get
enough of books that keep me on my toes and each and every Aleatha Romig book
does exactly that. I am totally addicted
to this author and I NEED more!!
Excerpt
Charli
The storm
of raging tension that had surrounded us since our eyes met in the bar changed.
The intensity was still off the charts, but this was something different.
Whatever it was affected us both. Our breathing suddenly took effort as both of
our chests rose and fell.
"Take
off that dress."
Nox's
command echoed throughout the glass stall. I considered arguing, but common
sense stopped my rebuttal. I'd already pushed him far enough. Starting at the
neckline, I slowly exposed myself, inch by inch. His gaze followed the soaked
material. As I revealed my breasts, my nipples hardened, and he let out a low
growl. Down the dress went, exposing my tummy and red lace panties.
Shaking
his head, Nox ran his finger along the edge of my panties. With his large hands
now at my hips, he asked, "Did you do anything I told you to do in my
note?"
"No."
My honesty left a trail of vulnerability and shame.
In one
quick motion, Nox ripped the lace, and the shredded panties joined my dress on
the shower floor. I blinked away the water as he tipped my face upward.
"No
more disobeying. Do you understand?"
I
nodded—not in acknowledgment of his words, but in response to the rush from
once again being in his presence. Nox electrified me in a way I'd never known,
and even in the absurdity of our current situation, he was doing it again. The
way he scanned my nakedness as his Adam's apple bobbed tingled my skin.
He hadn't
released my chin. "Say 'Yes, Mr. Demetri.'"
My chest
hurt. "N-Nox."
His grip
tightened.
"Yes,
Mr. Demetri."

Synopsis
One week. No future. No past.
No more.
Alexandria Collins
has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future
haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is
knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she
never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made
in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.
"Some of my tastes are
unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”
Lennox
"Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he
wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he
wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they
agree on one:
One week. No more.
When betrayal comes
from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go
to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the
heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are
meant to be broken.
