Jean-Pierre's greatest gift was a lack of feelings. His past had ripped them away. But then he saw Eden. On stage, she played her violin, spinning his head with songs that he'd tried to forget. Unable to stop himself, he makes Eden his obsession. And unlike any normal man, he takes what he wants. But there's someone in the shadows, blocking his path. His plans for Eden won't be so simple. This mystery person sends Russians his way, igniting a war with the Bratva. It's too bad that there's no limit to his obsession for her-no force that can stop him, no bullet to get in his way. Jean-Pierre would kill anyone and destroy anything to taste Eden's love, even go to war. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Listened to audio narrated by Blake Stanton and Cami Darian. I enjoyed her narration of Eden but Darian's narration of Jean-Pierre was awful. Jean-Pierre is suppose have a French accent but Darian's narration at first sounds Russian than switches to sounding like one of those old, dubbed, asian movies accent. Stanton nailed Jean-Pierre's accent, reminded me of my trip to Paris. Kudos to Stanton.
Eden is a violinist at loose ends after her symphony is closed and agrees to perform at her aunt's brothel, the Candy Shop. When an admirer she's attracted to offers to hire her for a month for a girlfriend experience she agrees and gets more than she bargained for.
Jean-Pierre was a talented violinist before his hands were injured and he went to jail. He's now the head of the French mob and has been obsessed with Eden since he first saw and heard her play his violin. He will do ANYTHING to have her.
There is absolutely nothing PC in this book. Jean-Pierre is not a good man, he's nick named the Butcher for a reason and he's been stalking Eden for years. The only reason he hasn't approached her is Eden's aunt has been getting in his way. Jean-Pierre has spent the last three years killing in order to get to Eden and circumvent her aunt, while Eden has been oblivious.
Jean-Pierre doesn't apologize for what he's done or what he will do in the future, he is not a good guy but he will do anything to make Eden happy and to keep her in this life. I really liked that about him, while simultaneously creeped out by his murderous, stalker tendencies.
I tried to believe a talented violinist would agree to get paid to sleep with a man for a month but it wasn't easy. She wanted him and it was the only way she could have him, it wasn't like she was going to change her profession so I hated that she repeatedly kept pointing out that she was prostituting herself. It weirded me out when she was sharing intimate details with her handler, a prostitute who claimed to have slept with Jean-Pierre before, those conversations always felt very odd.
The heat is off the charts and I don't think I'll ever forget the violin playing scene, who know it could be so erotic. These two burn up the sheets and the story is definitely a dark fantasy as only a romance book could wrap up the end the way it did.
