Review

5-Stars!
Dark & Steamy - Yes to Hudson!
Alexandra Andersen, wineanddrama.com I can't say enough about Shayne's phenomenal work, she's been a constant source of inspiration and entertainment to me. I love Hudson, it's one of my favorite novels. Hudson is a dark romance, be prepared there's no sprinkle of happy fairy dust here, but he's a dynamic force of nature. Anyone that comes into contact with him either bends to his will or is eliminated from his universe. Except for Gabriella, she's the ray of light that intrigues Hudson with her sweet, no-nonsense demeanor. Don't mistake Gabriella's kindness for weakness, she brings Hudson to his knees. Natalia is no slouch either, she's the only constant in Hudson's life. I love these women and how they keep Hudson on his toes, (even though he thinks he's in control - silly man). But be prepared there are twists and turns in this novel. It's definitely not what you expected. Hudson keeps you on the edge and will satisfy you greatly. A must-read!!! Get it now.

Series Chronology:
The Barter System - Book 1
Hudson - Book 2
Pushing the Envelope - Book 3
Backstage - Book 4
Liberation - Book 5
Radiance - Book 6 A lightness of spirit often draws the darkness. Gabriella Hernandez admits her irrational attraction to Harper Delkin and his bodyguard Elijah Eklund. Despite a little bit of fear about why they want her, she can’t deny her excitement. She has no doubt they'll leave her body humming but her heart shredded. Harper Delkin didn't like her. The woman was too emotional and dangerous to his self-control. There was something about Gabriella that twisted him up and made him harder than he’d ever been in his lifetime. Elijah Eklund knew the moment Harper mentioned Brie that things in their life were about to change drastically. He never suspected she would ultimately turn their world inside out or the lengths he would go to keep her.
