I. Remember. Everything.
Only now I wish I didn’t.
When the fog is sucked away from my mind like smoke through a vacuum, the truth that has been beyond my reach for months finally reveals itself.
But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed.

But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed.
Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know.
I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul.
I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day.
He’s already saved me in more ways than one. Now it’s my turn to do whatever it takes to save him.
Even if that means marrying someone else…

First Impression:
I...Read more
If you haven't read the first book, you might want to stop reading this and just trust me to read this series. It's amazing. This review will contain spoilers from book #1 but no spoiler for the #2.
I couldn't wait to dive into this book, after the way the first one ended I need to find out exactly what happened. I needed to make sure Doe/Ramie was going to be ok and I needed to know that Doe and King were going to find each other again. This book brings on a bunch of new characters and gives you a glimpse in the background of Doe. It also wraps up their story nicely and I was very happy with how this ended.
The story basically builds around Doe and uncovering the mystery of what happened to her. Slowly her memory comes back and things aren't as perfect everyone was making it out to be. I was sort of thrown by the end and what happens (sorry can't say anything more than that) This book also contains a lot of triggers and one or two of them really made my skin crawl. I am worried about reading Bears books next since what happens in this book will be revisited and I am not sure I want to revisit that. The scenes between Doe and King in this book are just as intense if not more than in the first book. I love their chemistry, I just adore them together. This story really blew me away and totally worth the 5 stars I gave it.
Overall this was my favorite out of the two, I am not sure why I liked it so much more. It might have been, now that I read both books I rated them together with 5 stars. I thought this was fantastic and like I said totally wrapped of their story perfectly, I was quite happy with it. I want to read Bear's book but I might hold off just a bit before I get into it, I need to be in the right frame of mind.

After reading both King and Tyrant, I'm changing my review name from Sassy to Bad Ass Mother Trucker. Bring on the dark and gritty...I can handle it. Murder, mayhem and torture...I can read it...Read more
Behind the facade lurks a Tyrant
After reading both King and Tyrant, I'm changing my review name from Sassy to Bad Ass Mother Trucker. Bring on the dark and gritty...I can handle it. Murder, mayhem and torture...I can read it all. I cheered King on when he needed to teach some lessons. I was looking forward to seeing people dead, and if they did it screaming all the better.
KIDDING!!
This was definitely out of my comfort zone. I don't mind visiting the dark side from time to time, but I think I'm more suited to hearts and flowers. Definitely no hearts and flowers in this one. T.M. Frazier made me look at things differently. What I would normally find abhorrent, seemed justified and necessary. There was violence, torture, lies and deception. You didn't know who to trust and it all seemed like a mirage. The revelations kept coming and with each of Doe's memories that returned, I was even more unsure who was good and who was bad.
Both King and Doe make decisions that do not help them in their journey back to each other. I never doubted that they could do it, but I was concerned what they would be left with. There is only so much abuse a person can take before they shatter. I hated seeing them struggle being apart from each other and knew they would be stronger together.
I enjoyed both King and Tyrant, but King just a little more. I was disappointed that we don't get as much time seeing King and Doe together in Tyrant and felt that this one dragged a little because of that.
This was not a normal read for me but I'm glad I experienced it. I learnt that love comes in different packages and some have a little barbed wire ribbon to cut through first to get to the happy ever after.
