Synopsis:
*This is a stand-alone sequel to Fearsome. No cliffhanger!
Dylan Blackard is back in town and certain everyone knows his secrets.
Putting away his notorious reputation as the wild guy with a womanizing past, he’s now on a new path, wanting to be the good guy his brother can stop worrying over. As long as he gives up his old vices—including women—he can keep himself on the straight and narrow and finally live up to everyone’s expectations.
However, obsessing about his lack of self-control is making Dylan one humorless, cranky hermit. That all changes, though, when his brother hires a new employee, the stunning Emma Keller, who will be sharing an office with him and all of his tightly wound nerves.
Emma, a spunky young woman from New Jersey, isn’t about to feel sorry for Dylan and his situation. She is beyond distracting to him, and that is enough to turn his emotional balancing act upside down. Not only is she intelligent, and a smart aleck, she’s also very determined to pull the sexy Dylan Blackard out of his self-imposed isolation.
From the moment he meets her, he feels alive again, but Emma doesn’t come as a gift with a pretty bow; she comes with major baggage—a family embedded in its own tumultuous history.
Will Emma be the tipping point that causes Dylan to regress into his past destructive behaviors…or will he actually pursue her for keeps?
*Due to adult language and sexual content, this New Adult Contemporary Romance is intended for readers over the age of 18.

Review by Gia:
Freedom is the second book in the Fearsome series. It as it can be read as a standalone. I did not read the first book in the series, Fearsome, and I was not lost. I felt as though there where things that are discussed in Freedom that happened in Fearsome.
Dylan is back in town after leaving to get help for his demons. He has turned over a new leaf and is trying really hard to be good. Dylan's brother has hired Emma to work at their business. Dylan and Emma have to work really close together. Soon their attraction for each other turns into a romantic relationship.
Emma has a past that includes her father being involved with a mob boss and her ex, Robert, is the mob boss's son. Robert shows up. I didn't like the slang terms for Italian American, that Dylan used to describe Robert. They bother me a little but not enough for it to ruin the book for me.
There is a lot going on in this story. Both Dylan and Emma have a lot of stuff to deal with. They both seem a little broken and you can't help but hope that they can fix each other.
