Still
struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she’s known about Kayden
Wilkens—the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an
alleyway a month earlier. But was he truly a stranger—or did Kayden know her
before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with
fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard
reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing
she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.
Excerpt
Crossing behind the couch toward the
kitchen, I find myself remembering those naked, intimate moments with Kayden
only a short time ago. The passion. The trust I’d felt for him. And then his
words: “We both want more. Until we don’t.” The words send a surge of
adrenaline and nerves through my body.
The scent of freshly brewed coffee
teases my nostrils as I reach the kitchen, where I immediately find Kayden
standing behind the island. But it’s not him that makes my heart lurch, as
usual. It’s my gun that’s lying on the counter between us.
And when I should perhaps step
backward I find myself charging forward to claim the other side of the counter.
“What is that for?”
“You thought you needed it earlier,”
he says. “I want you to have it now.”
My fingers curl on the tiled
counter. “Do I need it?”
“That’s for you to decide.”
“That isn’t the answer I want.”
His jaw sets hard. “If you’re
expecting an answer you’ll want, you’d better pick up that gun.”
We stare at each other, a push and
pull between us that has nothing to do with fear or intimidation, and
everything to do with a bond we both know is being tested. “I know what you’re
doing.”
“What am I doing?”
“The same thing you did outside that
church, when you helped me hold the gun to your chest.”
“Which is what?”
“Offering me the façade of control.”
“You holding a loaded gun on me in
no way equals a façade.”
“I know you now,” I counter. “You don’t give
up control, even when you say you are.”
He rests his hands on the counter,
one turned just enough for me to catch a glimpse of the hawk inked on his
wrist, its wings spread, the mark of a man whose rules of many must dictate his
actions. “There are two sides to this coin,” he says, his words drawing my
attention, his pale blue eyes piercing mine. “The me with you, and the me with
everyone else.”
“We barely knew each other at the
church.”
“I’d already decided you were mine.
You just didn’t know it yet.”
My Review: (ARC provided)
4 stars!
Demand starts off where Denial ends and I love how there
is a recap at the beginning of the book as well as a list of characters
reminding us of who everyone is. That bit of info helped me so much. I was
thinking I would need to recap myself but it was really nice how it was already
done.
So in my opinion Kayden did a complete 180. I wasn't
sure what to think of him in the first book and being that it left us hanging I
didn't know if I particularly liked him. Well I think in this book we really
get to know him and the person he is. Yes he still is a little hard to read and
keeps his guard up but all with good reason, we slowly get to see the soft
side of him too, and his love and commitment to the people he is close to.
Ella is starting to remember things but her amnesia is
still very much present as memories come to surface she finally begins to discover the reason why she was running. Let me say I loved Ella and as the book
went on we find out what a badass she really is. She's a strong and tough woman
who wants to uncover the truth. I really love the relationship between her and
Kayden and by the end of the book it is clear they each have a mutual respect
for each other. I like how Kayden was protective but let her be her own person
too.
I think there is still a lot to be learned in this series
and I'll be anxiously awaiting the next book.
I recommend but make sure you read Denial first.
.
Although the Careless Whispers series is a
continuation of Lisa’s Inside Out series, the books from Inside Out do not have
to be read first. However, Denial, Demand and Surrender, must be read in order.
Book one, DENIAL, is available NOW!

a beautiful, complicated, and sensual world that is filled with intrigue and
