This story is full of love hope happiness and striking shocks and sadness. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it myself and not spent more time on the audio book of it. I went back and forth between reading and listending. But i also don't typically read anythi mg other than fantasy

This story was my first from this author, and it was good. I liked how she described everything all the details where well placed, along with the characters as well. The 3 POV I could have done without but in the end it really helped with the flow of the story. The characters now those were super amazing, always seemed to come off as the nice and sweet guy but had an A## side to him as well. Hettie that name I have never ever heard before shocking but it was different and fit her to the "T", she's this sweet and caring woman with one thing on her mind starting a her life, kids, marriage the whole package, what she didn't want was to be hurt twice. This story follows them both as the grow by themselves then together. Towards the end I really liked how the story turned out I couldn't put it down it was the start of the story I had such a hard time with then bam chapter 5 hit me and it was a non stop reading journey. The love, romance(man that was steamy as hell), the sex, banter everything was worth the read.

This had to be one of the best stories I have read in a really long time. I married A Dead Man is a fictional story that draws you into a world of life, love, wonder and hope. Good things come to people who wait and help others and don't expect anything in return. This story gives you chills, and inspires you like never before. It gives you the true definition of love that so many of us search for. I was so drawn into the story that I didn't want the last page to come to an end. This story offers you hope that even if you have been burned before in your life with past relationships and never think you will find that right person they are out there, its just a matter of when. I left this story believing that there is someone out there for me, and even if it takes a few bad apples that I can have the whole world like Sharon did. I think that many can relate to this story and that no matter what just believe even if it may sound a little crazy. The author does an amazing job of taking everyday scenarios and making it relate to the readers. I would highly recommend this story to anyone that wants a good love story!

Wow. At the beginning I didn't know what to think and I was skeptical. I have my difficulties with stories about love triangles and I don't like stories about cheating. It is a personal thing and based on personal experiences. But the recommendation from an avid reader I know and the great reviews on Goodreads kept me reading. I didn't regret it. It is one of the interesting and smart stories I ever read. With an issue I read way to rare. It is one of the few books who give me a moment of WOW. Im so glad I read the book despite of my withholding.

I really like this story and how she always wondered what happened to the guy she fell in love with and why he left with out a word. She held a flame for him for many years but continued on with her own life raising a child as a single parent. She never could get over the love and connection they had even though she tried with the father of her child. However, once they meet up via a reunion, then fate takes over and their love, passion and friendship blast off like never before. Now, the relationship was not with standing problems and secrets but they communicate and build their relationship to a love that is beautiful, heart felt and lovely. There were many emotions I felt while reading this story that I looked forward to reading. If you want a feel good love with some angst then this your novel.

Heart warming, a good change from typical love story

There were many aspects of this story that really intrigued me. First off in the initial scene, Claire is venturing out for the first time after over coming a heart break. The first place that she chooses to re-enter society is a book club at  a local indie book store. Slowly she is able to start developing friendships there and start picking up pieces of her broken heart.  Claire had broken up with her long term boyfriend and she felt she was to blame. Claire found herself having a need to treated roughly to be intimate. Her boyfriend after much persuasiveness gave into her need but it ended up destroying him emotionally an mentally.  Feeling that she was abnormal for having the desires she did, Claire turned to her love of books to not feel alone.

As she discovering the world of BDSM through literature, her desire for more knowledge became apparent to the book store owner Evan. But his interest in her book choices was more involved than that of a warm blooded male having a reaction to a woman reading erotica, but more to do with the fact that he was a former Dominant. Noticing her desire to learn more about the BDSM culture he starts leaaving more and more books out for her, in places he knows she will find them.

Evan want to help Claire learn the ropes of BDSM but is scared to fall for her emotionally. Evan lost his wife and former submissive a few years back from an illness and before she died he  made a promise to not fall for anyone again. Torn between protecting Claire and keeping his promise to his ex-wife. Seeing how devoted that Evan is to his ex-wife was beaututil and I was eager to learn more about their past relationship. This was a beautiful story about second chance love and I loved reading and getting to know  about these characters.

Well that was a surprise. A pleasant one, but still a surprise.

Why you ask?

Because I didn't expect to become so immersed in the story. I had a good inkling that I'd enjoy it, since I've enjoyed other books by the author and my interest was definitely peaked due to the promise of a true mnage happening. But I didn't expect that upon starting the book that I'd become so invested in the the journey the characters travel that I'd have to force myself to put the Kindle down because my lunch break was over.

I really liked Mikey, Krissy and Rafe and the chemistry between them from the start.  They all had such distinct personalities that ended up melding well together once they got a little more comfortable together. But what held my interest the most was how each of them was at a crossroads in their lives. None of them were truly settled into who they are supposed to be, whether it be because they questioned their sexuality and how it would impact their lives, what they wanted for their future and how they wanted to live it, or simply fighting to be who they wanted to be while walking that fine line of being who others thought they should be so they wouldnt rock the boat. All of these are generally the same, but each of them had a different path and it was really interesting to be apart of it as they each dealt with what deviance meant to them and the impact theyd allow it to have.

Things progress quickly with their relationship and though it is, it didn't necessarily feel like it. With the knowledge that Krissy and Mikey had kept in almost constant contact with each other since meeting at her sisters wedding and had spoken about almost everything it gave it a believability that things could escalate as fast as it did. I thought it was sweet, sexy and I liked how they all ended up finding a connection with each other outside of the physical attraction they felt for each other.

The writing was engaging and I liked the pacing of the story. I loved seeing things through Mikey and Krissys eyes, but do wish wed gotten a bit of Rafes POV tossed into the mix since he was pivotal in moving the story along. I also liked how the issue of religion and belief was handled in the story. It never felt preachy, it was more contemplative where a character was reexamining what God and religion meant to him and how he could still maintain a relation with them while following his heart.

Not only was all the characters really well together but they fit and made this story strong from the start to end. No matter what it was family and love. The passion that happened in the main characters are wow. It's a MUST READ 2 person POV love story that will have you twisted up inside with the love and crying out for more at the end. It's filled with amazing characters you cant get enough of. Over all story is one in a million laugh aloud and feel goods that is totally worth reading over and over again.

I THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS WELL PUT TOGEATHER. IT WAS INTERESTING ENOUGH TO KEEP MY ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STORY. BASICLY I READ IT IN A SHORT AMMOUNT OF TIME. NOT ONLY WAS IT ABOUT TWO COP KILLERS BUT I ALSO FOUND IT TO BE EXTREAMLY ROMANTIC. AND I THOUGHT THE CHARACTERS WERE CAREFULY CHOSEN. IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT HOW FAR SOME WOULD GO FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE. I DEFINATLY THINK IT'S WORTH A GOOD READ.

At the beginning some might find it the situation very disturbing and Harper Sloan does warn the reader that some many not be able to handle it. Although it is very much shows a part of the lead female character.
Harper Sloan touched my emotions, heart had me smiling and crying, a roller-coaster of emotions.
The story is a beautiful love story, like so many its puts the character through tortures and turmoil.
The characters Axel and Izzy have survived what they believed to be lost of their young lives to find one another twelve years later. Although their re-introducion of each other might tear their worlds apart just maybe they kind find what they once had. To find out you must read Axel.
There is lots of hot men in this story making me as a reader wanting each of their stories and since this is the first of the Corps Security series it hard to say who my favourite will be for now its the gorgeous Axel whos love for Izzy will never die, and hell protect her from all thats bad in her life.
