About this ebook

When Leon tries to force Violet into marriage, it's war for both of them. The battle is hot and dirty, and no one walks away without scars.

A DARK ROMANCE

I never dreamed of getting married.

I dreamed about freedom.

When my stepfather promised Leon Hart a partnership in his clandestine software company, he offered me as part of the package deal. It’s a win-win situation for both men. My stepfather gets rid of his damaged stepdaughter, and Leon becomes second-in-command of the biggest underground IT operation in the country. I’ll do what I must to escape my fate.

Even if it means turning my powerful and dangerous betrothed into my worst enemy.

Loved the way this book sucked me in, Hated the cliffhanger ending. To say Violet has had a hard life is putting it mildly. Add in the crime family her mother married into and her life only gets worse. Now Leon, one of her stepdads employees thinks he can step in and take control of her life. Too bad she kind of likes it. Leon comes from a long line of criminals and he wants to work this way farther into the Starley family, but his attraction to Violet is really. I listened to this on Audio.

Imperfect Intentions was intense! 4 stars Leon was intense, and he “always get what [he] want[s]” which was Violet. They had chemistry and an attraction that I enjoyed, but she was “fighting our attraction.” Violet was “angry, defiant and obstinate,” but I did feel for her. She could have made different choices, but as the blurb states that clearly wasn’t how this author wanted to develop this couple’s story (meaning making an enemy out of her betrothed). The tension beautifully built to a high as I waited on the edge of my seat to see what would happen. Now I have to wait for the conclusion to their story, and I have a feeling it’s going to wreck me! I requested and received an advanced copy of this ebook, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This one is a bit different for Leon, the middle brother of the brothers but second child of the Hart family. They all had their HEA, so Leon is next! I loved this one, fast paced and I just loved how swoony Leon is. By the end I need to find out how things are going to plot out with the "betrayal" of Violet. I can't wait! Leon seems he is going to flip his lid! I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book.
