{{BLOG TOUR}} ZERO HOUR: A GYPSY BROTHER EPILOGUE BY LILI ST GERMAIN
They say a human being needs few things to
exist.
A purpose,
Hope for the future,
But most of all...
Love.
Juliette Portland had all of those
things. Her purpose was simple: Seduce. Deceive. Kill. Avenge. Once Dornan Ross
and his sons were dead, her future was supposed to be clear. Her life was finally going to begin. And love...
Against all the odds, she had the love of a boy she never thought she'd see
again.
Everything should have gone
according to plan. Everything should have been easy once Dornan was dead and
buried.
Of course, life has a way of
fucking with even the most meticulous of plans, and calling in owed debts can
have the most severe consequences. Thanks to Juliette's diabolical retribution,
the Il Sangue Cartel has lost it’s Kingpin, but not for long. There’s always
someone in the wings, ready to step onstage and seize power. The Gypsy Brothers
Motorcycle Club might be reeling from the deaths of their President and his six
patch-wearing sons, but they’ve come back swinging.
Two deadly enemies, hundreds of
bloodthirsty members, both sides eager to punish those that would try to topple
them.
Two survivors, a man and a woman,
forced to flee in the night.
For Juliette, vengeance is a
hollow victory.
It never, ever ends.
The flames of incomplete vengeance
are licking at her heels, and it’s only a matter of time before the Il Sangue
cartel and the Gypsy Brothers catch her in their grip and crush her.
Unless she
crushes them first.
“When
you blank out. When you go away. You’re with him, aren’t you?”
I take
a step back. I feel like I’ve been punched. I don’t respond. I don’t even say, who do you mean, because we both know
who we’re talking about here.
“Hey,”
Jase snaps. “I want you to answer me.”
I can’t
breathe. It’s like Dornan’s in the room. I feel his warm breath on my neck, the
way he always tasted the same in my mouth. Like salt and cigarettes.
“Answer
me,” Jase growls.
I
break. “What?” I hiss. “What do you want from me? Do you want me to lie? I was
supposed to kill him, and that was meant to be the end of it.”
Jase
looks like he’s about to hit another wall. Or me.
“He’s
dead,” he spits, “He’s dead, but you’re
the one who’s gone. I need you to come back. I need you to come back to me.”
“I
don’t know how!” I yell.
“You’re
not trying!” he explodes. “You just sit here, in your dark little universe,
thinking about him! Did you think about him while I was fucking you last night?
Huh?”
I don’t
even stop to see what kind of furniture the room consists of. I throw Juliette
on the floor and pounce on her like I’m a lion and she’s my catch.
My
dick’s inside her within three seconds of the door closing, even though its
dark in here, the only light from a couple of candles throwing off weak light.
It could be the middle of the day and I wouldn’t have a clue, because all I can
see is Juliette Portland underneath me, her legs spread and her pussy full of
me. I put my hands around her neck. I want to squeeze. I want to choke her so
fucking badly. Goddamn it! I stop
grinding my cock into her. I just stop.
“I
don’t want to hurt you,” I whisper in the dark. “Julz, the things I used to do
in this place—I used to hurt people and get off on it. I don’t want to hurt
you, baby.”
She
reaches up and grabs hold of my face; I can just make out her eyes, her pupils
almost swallowing any trace of green.
“Jase,”
she breathes, “What if I want you to hurt me?”

I am truly rendered speechless after reading this book. Zero
Hour definitely packs a punch that you feel in your stomach. After everything this
trio has been through individually and together my heart bleeds for them all.
Still on the run and never catching a break Jase, Juliette,
Eliot and his family are still on the run from the Cartel and remaining Gypsy
Brother. With Dornan finally dead they still have so many obstacles to over
come. Their fears and insecurities are very apparent and for them to survive
they have to conjure up all their remaining strength and face their demons head
on. With heartbreaking secrets being revealed they realize they are still
firmly in Dornan’s grip but they have to break free and the only what to do
this successfully is to move on and live the life they choose.
They all feel guilt, pain, anger and resentment but some of
that is aimed at the wrong people.
Can they ever be free of the evil that is chasing them?
Will Elliot and his family ever be able to place their
roots?
Will Jase and Juliette be each others light at the end of
the tunnel?
Whilst this book does answer a lot of questions and finally
reveals the unknown, I still feel as if there is a question to be answered…AND
that is “When will we see Jase and Juliette again?”
