{Book Review} Weak Without Him (Weakness #2) by Lyra Parish (@LyraParish)

"Love is an emotion that will destroy you if you let it. It can ruin your life or create a new one. Jealousy isn't much different."

Jennifer Downs treads in dangerous waters.

Finnley Felton is unaware.

With the help of Lady Luck, they will make it through.

Or will they?

Texas is nothing compared to Vegas but among the bright lights and busy streets, Jennifer discovers who she is. Her life has changed, and for better or worse, she continues to live like tomorrow will never come.

Sabotage. Hatred. Betrayal.

Although love is beautiful and kind, it comes with consequences.

Jennifer finds herself fighting. Fighting for her rights, for love, for Finnley, and for her life.

Hearts may be broken.

Lives will change.

But the ultimate question remains: can love win all?

Jennifer’s life is turned upside down with just two words – “You’re fired.”  She is then cast out of her job, the Elite and walks straight into the arms of the man that has become her obsession – Finnley Felton. 

Finnley has gone against everything that he believes in to hold onto Jennifer – including breaking his own rules.  He knows that what they have together is all consuming and worth any risk. But should they even try when her smart mouth and his dominant personality clash at every turn?

“I moved toward her like prey. She looked up at me like she had just met her maker, and I reveled in the fact that I made her weak in the knees. Jennifer Downs might be a strong woman, but I knew what I did to her. I was a drug that she couldn't wean herself from, and she was mine.”

Jennifer wants nothing more than to love Finnley – openly and with abandon.  But there are those who would do anything to keep them apart and they will go to any length to achieve their ultimate goal.

“The word seemed foreign at times, and like my best friend at others. As much as I like to think I didn't know what love was, I thought about it way too often. If a person's name can draw strong emotions from one's core, or if the sound of their voice makes the heart flutter, that's love. Just the thought of Finnley controlled me, and unlocked places in my heart that I'd never been before.”

Lyra has really cranked up the sensual tension with Weak Without Him!  The stakes are higher for everyone – the heat, the passion and the treachery had me literally gasping out loud!  I was such a Luketon Brand fan at the beginning of the book, but totally changed my mind by the end.  The brilliant twists and turns had me glued to my Kindle all night long and I can’t wait to see what Lyra has in store for her fans in No Longer Weak…
