CONFESSIONS AFTER DARK BY
KAHLEN AMYES
BLOG TOUR APRIL 15 - 30, 2014
BLURB:
Sparks Fly … Lines Blur… Hearts Break
Alexander Avery is rich,
powerful and the sexiest man Angeline Hemming has ever laid eyes on: a man like
every woman dreams about. Angel is not
immune to his sensual and ruthless pursuit, and Alex is intoxicated by the
beautiful doctor; overwhelmed with desire like he’s never known.
As one of Angel’s profiling
cases gets more and more dangerous, Alex finds himself filled with unfamiliar
panic and emotional turmoil; his need to protect her goes against Angel’s
adamant insistence that she doesn’t need his help. He isn’t a man to sit on the sidelines when the woman he’s
obsessed with is threatened, so he takes control to protect her without telling
her of his plans.
Angel’s fortitude is shaken
when her stalker invades not only her personal life but also those close to
her… even when that someone is as powerful and seemingly untouchable as
Alexander Avery. Professional ethics insist
she keep the details or her work secret, even as their newfound closeness has
her yearning to confide in him. But,
as Angel’s quest to protect her heart from Alex’s undeniable pull equals her
need to keep him out of a dangerous situation, circumstances dictate a huge
decision; which could have detrimental, and irreversible consequences for them
both.
When danger threatens and
jealousy reaches the boiling point, lies will be told and secrets kept… Even
with the best intentions and the most undeniable connection … the deepest of
loves will be tested.

EXCERPT:
“Mmmmm…
” Alex murmured. The sound of his voice begged her to push the door open
further. The smooth mahogany gave way beneath her trembling fingertips to
reveal a lone figure sprawled face down on the bed.
Angel’s
breath left her lungs in a grateful rush as she leaned on the doorframe, hands
reaching out to take her weight. Relief washed through her. He was
here and he was alone. God help her, that fact was just as important.
The
sheet was falling low on his waist, clinging precariously to the curve of his
butt, the strong expanse of his shoulders presented to her below the dark
hair. It looked longer than she remembered, and she stood there, willing
him to turn so she could see the lines of his face. Her lips parted to
call his name, but he stopped her by calling hers first.
“Angel,
don’t do this.”
She
gasped softly and moved to the side of the bed, crawling gently onto it to
kneel beside him, her rear resting on her feet. His scent surrounded her,
a mixture of musky cologne and Alex. The skin, molded over the strong
contours of his back, fascinated her. She wanted to touch, to feel the
silken texture beneath her fingers, to run her nose down his spine, to taste
the salty tang on her tongue.
Angel
was falling apart, her weakness overwhelming her. Earlier, she’d fought
ruthlessly, but now, she had no fight left. With Alex, she wanted to
surrender. The truth of it was undeniable.
“What
am I doing?” she asked softly, reaching out to smooth her hand over the back of
his head and down the strong muscles of his back. He was warm, a sharp
contrast to her own skin, and the familiar electricity ran between his flesh
and hers—tangible and alive.
Alex shifted, turning his head toward her. He was still
sleeping, his features soft in the dark blue glow of night. “You deny
us..."
REVIEW:
This was better than book one. Kept you on the edge of your seat! The scene with the dog and the note on the fridge almost made me piss myself. CAD was medium in length so I was not able to read it in one sitting, but if I could have skipped work, eating and sleeping for 24 hours I probably could have knocked this out in one wop- lord knows I wanted to! Angel drove me absolutely insane with her all over the place emotions and hard headed ways, as she was so strong and put together in AAD, so seeing her break down and cry and be so overly emotional and insecure in this book was somewhat surprising but not a turn off of her character. She still gave as good as she got when needed and broke a clavicle when necessary ;) (That will make sense if you read the book).
Alex's temper and need to be in control would make me absolutely insane and I am not sure I could be in a relationship with a man like him, but his chemistry with Angel is undeniable and the 180 she spins him in definitely changes parts of him for the better. I give this 4.5 stars, only deducting for a couple times I found myself skimming over parts that were not needed for the development of the story and added nothing for me. Definite recommend and loved it enough that I will probably find myself looking this up in my Kindle queue for a re-read again soon. <3 Kellie
Dr.
Angeline Hemming is a beautiful, sassy, no-nonsense type of girl who has risen
from a difficult past to become one of Chicago’s most successful and respected
criminal profilers. In exchange for free commercials to promote her favorite
charitable causes, Angel answers calls and gives relationship advice on a
Friday night radio program.
Alexander
Avery is a gorgeous and successful corporate genius who doesn’t believe in
love. When his girlfriend-of-convenience calls into Angel’s program, he is
furious with the show’s host who doles out (what he considers) blind advice,
without knowing all the facts… and he decides to give her a piece of his mind,
and his side of the story!
When
Angel informs Alex he’s the one in need of a much-deserved lesson, all hell
breaks loose as these two type-A personalities battle it out for control over
minds and hearts, and yes, in bed. Not only are they fighting each other at
every turn, but they are also struggling to uphold the convictions they each
live by.
It’s
unclear who is stronger, but both must discover that to get what they
desperately want, they may have to give a little… or a lot.
