Dena’s Thoughts 
This is my second favorite book in this series. Vicious will always have my heart but Bane is a close second. Roman (Bane) is just as arrogant, vane, conceited and all the things we should hate but love. He has a vision for their ocean side town and in order to succeed he needs the financial backing of Darren Morgansen. That however comes with a cost, befriend his step daughter, Jesse and bring her back to life. 

When Jesse was 18 she was violently attacked and sexually assaulted. Since then she’s been (understandably) hiding from the world. When she meets Roman she doesn’t know how to act or what to think about their odd friend ship. What she does know is that he’s giving her strength and courage to become herself again 

When I tell you the TWISTS in this story had me!!! Like I said above this book is my second favorite in the series. I just love Jesse’s character so much and honestly Bane is pretty irresistible. The bad guy with a good heart.
