First Thoughts:  Sometimes, you have to take a chance and risk it all in order to get it all.  You have to step outside the box and trust that someone will catch you when you fall. Sometimes, you have to risk your heart.


Synopsis:

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive--he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?

BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.

My Review:

Oh Aleatha Romig...What a tangled web you weave! I loved the intriguing intro/meeting of Alex/Charli & Nox. Charli with an i wants to experience a carefree week of exploring her hard limits before starting law school. Nox is the dark, mysterious stranger willing to take her to those limits if she agrees to trust him & do everything he asks of her. And so the week begins . . . no questions, no exchange of personal info, no last names, definitely no commitments - just one week of no holds barred, pushing all limits sex. Of course, all good things must come to an end sometime. Real life is calling Alex back to her Southern aristocratic home where secrets are knocking on the closet door. The magnitude of the betrayal that she discovers there sends her running to New York and taking a strange job opportunity with a mysterious company called Infidelity. She is floored when this job not only brings her back in contact with Nox, but also in service to him! Perfect setup leading into book 2!

I'm not always a fan of the past/present back & forth action but it certainly works beautifully in this book. I found myself flipping pages as the suspense & sex set the pages aflame. Betrayal is a very intriguing start to what promises to be another great series! A Must Read!

My Rating:  4 No Holds Barred ♥'s . . . And that's the truth!
