Wire (Wrong Series #3) ~ Stevie J. Cole & LP Lovell

Tor 
Jude and I managed to salvage something beautiful from the war torn rubble of our lives, a blissful happiness that we paid for in blood. We fought our way here, leaving pieces of ourselves along the way. I thought this was the happily ever after in our twisted fairy tale, but I was wrong. 
Jude 
I may be free by definition. That freedom came at a heavy cost and my family is about to pay the price. At any moment, this façade will come crashing down. Hard. The life I've lived—that kind of world—it stains you, and no matter how hard you try, you can never escape its wrath. Not even in death. 
Love. Fear. Loss. 
We're walking a wire and all that's beneath us is destruction.




**WARNING: Contains Spoilers if you have not read books 1 & 2!!!**
All we have is sacrifice, and there is no fairytale in which we all walk out of this. That is the cold reality. 

Two years in paradise. Two years of leaving America and both of their pasts behind. Jude and Tor thought their fresh start would last them a lifetime but are unpleasantly surprised when trouble makes an appearance of a dead man in the garden. Without much warning, Tor, Jude, and Marney are thrown back into the turmoil of the underground criminal world.

My beautifully broken man, so strong and fierce, so loyal. ~ Tor 



Gabriel “Gabe” member of the Juarez cartel is a new character in this book and plays a very pivotal role. He is Jude’s current and only employer but is a powerful man and soon both attract the attention of a rival cartel. I loved Gabe’s character- sometimes hysterical but also ruthless and cold at the core. I felt his character never strayed from his core being. 

To be honest, in this installment my enjoyment of Jude and Tor lessened. In the first two books I found both of them so raw, so redeeming in this book I found both so OVER THE TOP in their angst and drama that they seemed almost juvenile. Tor and her endless “F- you Jude” *slaps face* and Jude’s never-ending jaw clenching that made him too angry to be an Alpha in my opinion and more like a hormonal boy. Ugh- even Marney was sick of their sh!t as he told us many times…he’s too old for this. 



Despite all, I was still rooting for Tor- still rooting for her to come out on top! Wire was jam-packed with action, heartbreak, and betrayal. About half way through I could not put it down for one second because the plot was moving so fast! Now I’m not a prude at all but I thought the f-bombs got to be a little too excessive and it did detract from my reading experience because I stopped “hearing” the dialogue and the characters in my head-just f*ck this and f*cking that. Overall, the plot still outshined any minor detraction I felt. 

The ending KILLED me- just when I thought the action couldn’t get any better-it did. I absolutely cannot wait to find out what happens next and am very grateful the authors continued the journey of this series. Overall, 4 stars for a highly entertaining and violent read! Highly recommend the series!

My life was mapped out and planned to perfection. I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was going, until I was thrust into his world and ripped from mine. In the blink of an eye everything shattered, proving to be nothing more than a cheap illusion. Now I’m living in this twisted form of hell, where enemies and friends are one and the same. I thought I wanted perfection. Now I don’t know what I want - perhaps not even my own freedom.

Jude 

I'm the definition of wrong. I'm violent, I'm greedy, and I stop at nothing to win. I'm a notorious bookie and in my game paying with your life is not just a figure of speech. You lose, I collect. I take whatever you have. She’s collateral for a debt, and if that debt's not paid someone will die. This should be just business, so why can’t I kill her?
Everything is not always as it seems.

Lust. Blood. Lies.

Nothing this wrong should feel so right.
 


WRATH

Amazon US | Amazon UK

***Warning. This book contains extreme violence, and scenes that may upset some readers. ***

Tor
Jude Pearson could just as well kill me as kiss me most days. He was my captor, my living hell, and yet, he became my saviour, my heart. Stupid. Hes heartless, conditioned to feel nothing, and so I ran... straight into the clutches of his enemy. Joe Campbell wants Jude to suffer, and I just became a pawn in a very dangerous game.
Joe has broken me in every way, everything that I once was stripped away, and in its place is festering hatred and a rage so cold I feel nothing else. I have one purpose. Revenge. 

Jude
Love makes you weak, it makes you irrational. She was collateral, completely innocent when she was unwillingly dragged into my corrupt world. With the damage Id already caused her, I couldnt let her love me, so I let her go, and now...he has her. 

No matter where she is, she will always be mine. This man has taken every-fucking-thing from me, and he has the last thing that matters to me. I will kill him. Slowly. Joe Campbell better run because the devil is fucking coming for him. 


Sometimes two wrongs can make a right.

Rage.
Hate.
Revenge. 


Our Wrath binds us, but it may also break us.
