One week. No future. No past. No more.
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 contemporary 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.
This series isn't about cheating.
my rate
I have been obsessing these days reading MC books, so I really thought that I needed a breather and this series caught my eye a long time ago… I guess I took the leap and read this book, the first,
Betrayal.
The story of Alex Collins, who has a longer name but I really will get tired by writing it, is definitely a still confusing for me. I’m trying to pierce thins together with the little I have read about her. But the biggest mystery is Nox, who we do not know his last name till the end of the book. They made the rule of not knowing anything about themselves while they were in Del Mar together for that week. A very marked regret from both sides, I’m sure.
Usually, I hate the back and forth between past and present, so I was totally annoying to find how this book was structured. But I think the suspense happening in one time with the other things happening in another part of the storyline keep me in check, and reading. I have to confess that reading it from Alex’s POV was a little exasperating because she thinks more than she says, which is totally not me in real life. So I totally hated when people bulldoze everything she actually had to say.
It really threw me off the whole
Infidelity company when the time came up, but it did not surprise me that Nox was going to be totally into it. This will get interesting and I’m totally in for the next twists. Something I have to learn shortly starting this book is that every twist connects and sometimes you will not even notice one is coming. I yearn to learn more about Nox and read more his side of the story in the next books that I will read right away.
Have I been Aleatha’d? Certainly. Should you? Hell yeah.
