{{BLOG TOUR}} BETRAYAL BY ALEATHA ROMIG
One week. No future. No past. No more.
Alexandria
Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her
future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she
is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like
she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions
made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.
"Some of my tastes are unique.
They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”
Lennox
"Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he
wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he
wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they
agree on one:
One week. No more.
When
betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is
willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they
involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and
some rules are meant to be broken.
"Is it really cheating if
you're doing it to yourself?"
From New
York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant
hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her
own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this
new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the
next. Have you been Aleatha'd?
BETRAYAL
is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.
This is the kind of book you come across once upon a time and always pray for as a blogger/reader.
My first read by Aleatha Romig and I’m telling you that she’s a true literary genius.
Betrayal is a story that’ll draw you in and will not cut you loose until the very last end and beyond. I’m still not so silently cursing aloud for that one! ;-)
Addictive like crack and the intimate scenes are written like few I’ve read in the past; it’s almost like you are right there with them throughout the entire story without it being overly descriptive.
Alex/Alexandria comes from an influential Southern family and has been able to escape from their high demands whilst at college. But now graduation has come and gone and she’s about to prepare for graduate school, she is summoned. Before the family is faced, one week of pure, unadulterated pleasure with her best friend is foreseen and Charli is born.
During that week Nox comes into the picture and that’s when things are starting to heat up and get complicated real quick.
One week. No questions asked. Rules are set.
Once the week is gone both will resume their regular old life's and will never see each other again.
What happens next is full of ups and downs and more intrigues.
Nox is the dirtiest, most romantic man and 'll take two please! ;-)
A few teasers to peak your interest :
"Where others saw beauty, I saw a prison and loss of innocence."
"The man who'd placed my shoes back upon my feet was indeed my prince charming; however, my best friend was wrong: the clock would strike midnight."
"You deserve to be treated like the princess you are, like a queen."
The first book in this five book series is fast paced and highly addictive with an urge to make you laugh, cry and scream throughout.
I feel like we only scratched the surface with this one - I’m anxious to get to know the elusive Nox more.
A recommendation for all of you wanting to try something completely fresh with a guarantee for more books!
A playlist is in this case of course a must as y’all know from me by now:

I'd tried to recall exactly
what he'd looked and sounded like earlier that day. But with each passing hour
the recollections had become embellished in my mind. I recalled the sun behind
his head now as a radiating glow. His voice, deep and stirring, in my memory
rolled like thunder, fluttering my tummy while melting my insides. His chest
wasn't just muscular, it was sculpted, and I no longer just remembered the
sight of his dark hair and slight facial stubble. Now, my skin tingled at the
thought of its touch—so real, as if I'd felt it against the most sensitive of
my parts.
When I stepped past the woman
and exited the glass doors, my breathing hitched.
I hadn't embellished, not
really. With the orange glow of the setting sun sending prisms dancing off the waves
below, the man casually leaning against the rail was everything I'd imagined
and more. Despite the ocean breeze, his casual stance, the way one hand
lingered in the pocket of his pants while the other held tightly to a tall
fluted glass of light colored liquid, filled me with warmth.
I was glad that Chelsea had
talked me into wearing a dress and
that I'd insisted on wearing panties. As he stood to walk toward me, the light
gray suit coat he wore moved effortlessly accentuating his shoulders and forming
a V to his trim waist. If I'd thought he was handsome in his swim trunks, he
was even better in a silk suit. The white shirt he wore was unbuttoned at the
neck and his strong jaw was covered with just a hint of stubble. Whoever this
man was, he wore the combination of casual and class with ease.
I remained still as his grin
grew and he scanned me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Just
like earlier at the pool, the gaze of his light blue eyes burned my skin,
sending a rush of heat and leaving goose bumps in its wake. I found myself lost
in the paleness of his eyes, like pools of liquid, I imagined drowning in their
depths, and then, they settled on mine.
"Welcome, Charli, with an I. I'm very glad you accepted my
invitation." Flutters like butterfly wings filled my tummy as I searched
the horizon for clouds of an impending storm. There were none. It was him. His
voice did roll like the low rumble of
thunder.
"Would you like to have a
seat?" he asked, reaching for my elbow and leading me toward the table.
I almost jumped at the touch of
his warm skin against mine. Electricity like I'd never felt surged through my
veins setting off detonations at each synapse. My eyes snapped to his, and for
just a moment, I believed he felt the same thing, but just as quickly, his
expression found its casual confident demeanor.
"Yes," I said, trying
also to ignore the chemistry that threatened to knock me off my feet.
"Thank you. You didn't need to go to all this work."
He laughed. "It wasn't
me."
