Blurb
With one tug the thread unravels, and a world built on lies will come tumbling down
Too many bodies. Rivers of blood. Elias Kote sees them all in his sleep. Only the love of his husband and daughter keeps him alive and fighting. This contract killer is exhausted and weighed down with all the lies he tells every day. Who he is. What he does. How he came to have all he has. Elias can attest to nothing remaining hidden forever, but his secrets, when they do drop, shatters everything. Everyone. And leaves him scrambling to make his family whole again.
Ten years together. Three legally wed. One with their daughter. And in one night Lucky Mousasi’s world just…stops. What he thought was a random home invasion turns into way more. Masked men not only brutalize him, but they come armed with knowledge about Lucky, his husband, and the life he thought he knew. It seems nothing is coincidental, certainly not meeting and falling in love with Elias. Bruised, battered, heart ripped open, Lucky walks away.
An intimate rival will stop at nothing to neutralize the threat Elias poses, and the life he built out of guilt and desperation becomes collateral damage. When Lucky takes their daughter and disappears, Elias goes on a rampage. He will get his family back, but first he’s on an elimination mission. One bullet at a time.
REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Avril Ashton's (Watch Me) Unmask You has wrecked me! As with the previous books in this series, this book is deep, gut-wrenching and remarkable!
This story is truly amazing, with Elias and Lucky, a couple who have no right to be together, yet are drawn to each other body-and-soul.
Their relationship covers many years, starting with Elias helping to comfort Lucky when he's young, through Lucky's early twenties, and beyond.
In the beginning, Lucky is devastated as Elias flits in and out of his life, leaving him lost each time he leaves. Lucky's alone in the world, having lost his parents, and then his aunt. Elias is the only steady person he has, yet he is never around, going years between visits.
The strength of the bond and chemistry between these men is breath-taking and riveting. But they are drowning in their issues. Even if Elias is able to give himself to Lucky, he still isn't giving Lucky the real Elias, as Elias is living a life of lies.
The beauty of this romance is the way that Avril Ashton can once again have us falling in love with a man who does awful, unforgiving things. How does she do this so darn well? How can we fall so hard for Elias, before even knowing the full truth, and rooting so hard for him? It is a testament to the strength of her writing, that's how. Elias is so broken, and breaks Lucky in return, yet I love every second of it, and I am thrilled to have found these amazing men.
This story contains suspense, extreme chemistry, action, violence, and more. The beauty comes in the strength of love and the ability to listen, understand, and forgive.
(Watch Me) Unmask You is as powerful of a story as I've read. Avril Ashton's Run This Town series is a must read for anyone who loves an action romance.
