Its Throwback Thursday! These two books are still one of my favorite series! If you haven't met Marcus DeLuca yet... you are missing out! Go pick them up!
Disastrous
Marcus DeLuca is living two lives: one that involves his successful career and the other that could potentially ruin his entire reputation. Every day is a stressful and hectic environment with his busy schedule. His secret could jeopardize not only his life but everyone he loves.That’s why he has no extra room for a serious, romantic relationship, but after meeting Mia he cannot resist her. She is innocent, humble, and pure, the total opposite of him. She distracts him from all of his deep, dark secrets. He knows once Mia finds out the things he has done and who he truly is, she will never want to look at him again. Deep down he knows he must stay away but he can’t.
Mia and Marcus are heading down a path of love, lies, heart break and betrayal. Can their love conquer all or will it end?
Cautious
Marcus and Mia share a LOVE stronger than others, but their relationship was built on LIES and deceit.
Cautiously, they continue to struggle for what they desire more than anything, each other.
Though, that comes with a price … one that involves more HEARTBREAK and deception.
Can they survive another disastrous path?
Is their love strong enough to defeat all the obstacles, all of the BETRAYAL?
Not all broken relationships are repairable, but Marcus and Mia try their hardest to fight for themselves and for each other.
The story starts right where Disastrous left of with Marcus and Mia reconciling after the great scene in the rain. Mia recognizes that their relationship, up to that point, has been more physical and they knew very little about each other. If their relationship was to work, they had to almost start over and get to know each other a person and not just lovers. We are taken on their journey of getting to know each other and building their relationship.
Just when things look like they will work for Marcus and Mia, the lies and secrets catch up to them. It’s heart breaking as I just want them to work things out. They belong together! They are soul mates. With the book being from both POV you truly grasp the amount of love they have for each other. But with Marcus working to protect Mia from his lifestyle he may do more harm than good. Also this time, Mia is holding her own secrets that she has learned about Marcus’s family that he is unaware of. She also believes she is protecting him but when Marcus finds out, can he look past her keeping this huge secret?
Then… literally all hell breaks loose! My heart felt like it was ripped my chest as I was reading and I was just thinking… no… no… no… This cannot be happening! This cannot end this way! What the hell! Why is E.L. doing this to me!!
You will have to read the book to figure out if Marcus and Mia get the happily ever after or will the lies and deceit be the death of their relationship???
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book.
“I had this feeling deep down that I couldn’t live without her. When you finally find a person who makes you feel alive, how you could possibly breathe if she were gone” (omg… so swooning… sigh….)
“You can’t help who you fall in love with. Yet I had fallen in love with a man that most women would run away from”
“Every single aspect of her drove me insane with want, desire, love, and so much more”
“He was a man with two lives: one that he wanted no part of and another he desperately tried to keep successful. Any man that had to survive the turmoil and struggles that Marcus had in life was usually twice his age. He was a man with many flaws, which haunted his very existence- a man who had held so much hatred in life. Yet when he loved, it was strong. It was hard. It was passionate. It was without control”
I so loved this last one! It is Marcus… it totally sums him up! I was in tears at the end of this book. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! 5 huge stars from me!
