Heartless. Conceited. Shallow.
Three simple words to describe me.
I had everything a girl could ask for, yet nothing I truly needed.
I'd made peace with who I was and the expectations set upon me long ago.
Only to have that peace shattered when a nameless hero rode into my world.
I wasn't allowed to have him.
Too bad I never cared much for the word no.
Because I'd soon learn the hard way that too much self-indulgence could result in incurable consequences.
Cyanide, a surprising tale of love conquering circumstances.
Cyanide, you guessed it a deadly poison, only this comes in
the form of a privileged young woman with a sharp tongue, that can be
excessively cruel when needs be.
Cyanide, one taste is all it takes to get under your skin.
Book one of the Surface Rust series by Ella Fields
Vera Bramston aka Frost lives a lie of privilege. It is very easy to sit in your ivory tower
and look down on the world when you have every that you could possible want at
the swipe of a card. The rich and spoilt
lifestyle has lead Vera to become a bit cold hearted and cruel. She has a very sharp tongue and no filter so
if she thinks it most likely she will say it, with no regards to your
feelings.
Vera also is desperately lonely. Abandoned by her mother, an absentee and
controlling father, raised by “the help”, Vera has learned to hide her true
self and the utter devastation that people have caused her. Her one true love is books, losing herself in
fairy-tale stories of the princess meeting “Prince Charming”. She is also extremely beautiful, her
description reminds me of Snow White (my favourite of all the princesses).
She feels trapped by her circumstances – although rich, she
is surrounded by shallow, hollow people who are constantly judging everything
you do and is slowly suffocating under the expectations of her privileged
lifestyle.
What Vera is about to learn is a chance encounter with a
stranger can alter your entire existence.
Jared Williams aka Hero lives life to the full. A sexy tattooed mechanic with hypnotic green
eyes and a motorcycle, Jared has a plethora of women to choose from on a
regular basis although a repeat performance is very rare. He believes in taking risks and is a
pathological flirt with a dirty mouth.
A chance meeting on the side of the highway thrusts Jared
into Vera’s life and neither expect what is to come next.
Jared pushes Vera’s buttons and encourages her to be more adventurous
and to take a few risks with her life.
He doesn’t care she has money or who her family, he is more interested
in the exquisite beauty with the tough exterior and precious heart.
I really liked this book.
It had a very captivating storyline that just sucked you in and before
you knew it you were buried in feelings you didn’t expect to feel. It actually made me feel grateful for what I
have in life, as you can live like you have it all but without love, any kind
of love you are just hollow, a shell that wants to be filled. Moments are fleeting you need to grasp them
with two hands and hold on tight to keep them close. A life where you are unloved and unwanted can
be a very lonely existence. Definitely
worthy of 4 stars, must pick up the start of this series.
He moves to unzip his fly, and I snap into action, stopping him. Biting my lip, I reach down between us and do it myself then tuck my hand inside his black boxer briefs. My eyes never leave his, so I catch every reaction my touch elicits. His nostrils and eyes both flare when my hand finds his velvety length. Rock hard with pre-cum resting at the tip. I swipe my thumb over it, and he visibly shivers. Grinning, I squeeze him gently and start to move my hand up and down, loving the way his breathing turns ragged until he stops me. “Shit, you gotta stop, or this will be over real quick.”
“Oh? What happened to all night?” I taunt.
He leans in to nip my bottom lip, and my panties grow even wetter. “Frost”—he tsks—“this is only round one.”
My breath hitches, but I try not to let any more surprise show and lift my thumb between us to my mouth, sucking his excitement from it and fluttering my lashes.
“Jesus fucking …” His mouth crashes into mine, rough hands tangle into my hair, and I hear the ting of my hair pins as they fall to the counter and floor.
