Synopsis

Jared Roman has lived his entire life feeling unworthy, unwanted and unloved. He’s lived a life of abuse, addiction and abandonment.

Zhoe Dawson comes from a different world than him. She comes from money and social status. But with that comes the dictatorship her father runs. All Zhoe’s ever wanted is to break free of his rules, and to feel loved.

When they learn Jared is the reason for Zhoe’s pain, her loss, and heartbreak he tries to walk away.

But, Zhoe offers him the one thing he’ll never be able to leave behind – her heart.

Can Zhoe’s love save him from his past?

Can she help him conquer his fears and doubts?

EXCERPT:

At least he can’t say I was giving mixed signals. I think it’s pretty obvious what I want at this point. I can’t wait one second longer. Done with his games, I decide to take things into my own hands. Turning around I place my hands on his chest and shove. He only stumbles back a step or two before regaining his bearings.

With my wrists locked in his large palms, he yanks on me until I’m flush with his body. He reaches up with one hand and brushes away the tears I didn’t even know were falling. I don’t even know why the hell I’m crying. Sexual frustration, maybe? Is that a reason to cry?

When Jared Roman has been haunting all of your sexual fantasies, giving you small glimpses of what he’s capable of but never giving you the real thing, I say yes. Sexual frustration is a damn good reason to cry.

Review by Gia:
I loved reading Vanquish. It starts off heavy and you just know it's going to be an emotional read. It starts off with Zhoe visiting her brother Cole's grave. Jared goes to visit Cole too but at the time Zhoe doesn't see him. Zhoe meets Jared latter at a club. Jared slowly puts together who Zhoe is.
Zhoe and Jared are good together. Jared keeps to himself that he knew Cole.
Jared feels guilty and responsible for Cole's death. We don't find out why he feels that way into very far into the book. I was a little frustrated by that, I wanted to knew why right away. We do get to find out his involvement before with Cole before Zhoe does.
Jared also has issues of feeling that he is not worthy of love. Zhoe and Jared have a lot of issues to work through if they want there relationship to work.
Vanquish is a great story. I can't wait to read book 2.
