Betrayed by Dr. Rebecca Sharp Release Blitz

Six years ago, in order to save her own life, Addison Williams had to die.

Returning home, she started over and never looked back. Until now. After a local interview about her business goes viral, bad things start happening. So, she turns to the only man she trusts—the man who helped fake her death.

Ace Covington knows the situation is serious when independent Addy returns to the doorstep of Covington Security with a plea for help. But it doesn’t take long for her stubborn streak to shine through.

Addy insists on being part of the investigation. Ace knows it’s too dangerous for her to get involved. A testy compromise results in a roommate situation where the only thing they can’t argue over is the attraction burning between them.

When the demons from Addy’s past come looking for the woman who cheated death, Ace will risk everything to protect her and prove her betrayed heart is always safe with him.

Addy is living the best life that she can muster right now. After she realized her soon-to-be fiancé was not whom he claimed, she was in extreme danger and, despite the fact that she escaped, Addy can't help but hide, start over, and try again. Addy wants justice for the lives that she couldn't help. When she gains some press for her new venture, little does she know that it will cause her past and present to collide violently.

Ace knows that Addy is stubborn, smart, and the strongest person he knows. He wants to help Addy see her strength. But after her past comes back and starts to mess with their future, Ace is done waiting on the sidelines.

As Addy and Ace race against someone else's clock to save more people, including Addy's peace of mind, they can't help but fall more in love in the process. Ace shows Addy that he isn't scared off by her strength and Addy learns that she has to celebrate the successes as much as the losses.

Together with Ace's security brothers, they have to take down Addy's past piece by piece.

These two have amazing chemistry that has been building for years. Because they have a quasi-friendship first, I think it makes their relationship that much stronger. I am so glad to have read this book and can't wait for Dante's. He was hilarious and I have no doubt that his book will be filled with hilarity and steamy scenes.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆
3.5 stars

This is the first book in a new series and there is some world building, although much of what we learn happens organically so there is no feeling of stuff being explained, it just falls out naturally.

Whilst I really enjoyed the premise of this book, I did feel that we were sometimes required to suspend disbelief a little too much. I can absolutely believe that Addy could be incognito in a country as large as the USA – even that she could be under the radar and still be close to her ex-fiancé, Mitch, but that she could work with her siblings in a women's refuge in the same city and not expect him to find her? I also found the length of time that it had taken to find a way to out him was also incredible –especially when they were, in theory, such experts.

That said, I enjoyed the back burner attitude that Addy and Ace had to the simmering attraction between them, and the explosiveness of their relationship once they finally gave into it. It was crazy to think that it took them six years to reach a point where they could be honest with each other, and Addy with herself. I thought that the attitude of the others to them finally getting together was funny – and Dante would no doubt take some credit for forcing the issue with his flirting!

It will be interesting to see what the Covington Security guys will be involved in next and how that plays out romantically for one of them!
