Release Day – Bella Jewel’s ‘Til Death – Volume 2
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.
There is.
I married a douchebag.
I didn’t know it at the time.
He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.
I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.
Then he left me high and dry.
Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.
He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.
I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.
I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.
With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.
Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.
I
may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we
part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave
me.
He has to pay.
And pay he will.
*This is part two of a two book series and it will contain a HEA – Readers over 18+
Louisa’s Review
When we met Katia and Marcus, in book one I fell in love with Katia. I wanted to love Marcus but he was just a heartless bastard. He started his relationship with Katia under false pretenses but as time went on, he truly fell in love. The cliffhanger in book one was OMG!
Two years after book one leaves off, we find Katia and her mother just barely getting by. She’s a waitress,
and doing all she can to support her mom. Dusty comes to see Katia and explains to her that moving forwards begins with divorcing Marcus, facing her fears…but can she?
We see a whole new Marcus in this book. His actions in book one will be explained in this book. You will feel the sadness he is feel when he thinks of Katia. What they had, and what they may never have. He is truly passionate when he talks about Katia. He’s not the alpha male we met in book one (well, that alpha males come out a few time in this book!)
Katia is one helluva woman. She is trying to do all she can for her family, to keep them afloat and happy without anything from Marcus. But, her mother’s failing health will lead her back to Marcus. We know deep down they love each other, despite their beginning, but is love all we need to make a marriage work? As we see, love isn’t everything and to make their lives work together just may be impossible.
Many may find Katia to be a pushover, but I found that she is one strong, determined, passionate woman. At times she is pushed to her limis and is overtaken by her love (and hate) for Marcus. Marcus loves Katia fiercy, but doesn’t know how to show it or believe he deserves her love, which makes him do and say things that can change their lives forever.
We get to know more of about her family and friends in this book and they are a nice edition to the story line.
This book is about 2 very damaged people who are just trying to find their happiness again, with or without each other.
This book is intended for 18+ because, holy moly, Bella can write one heck of a sex scene!
