*Illicit Contact & Naked Risk* ~ Jordan Burke

Illicit is the Second Book in this series.

As Watts and Catherine become more entangled in a relationship marked by searing sex and imminent danger, he reveals the horrific events of his past that led to his current, dark life. Now Catherine must decide: with all that she’s been through in her life, can she risk suffering the heartache she could be forced to endure if she stays with Watts?

Watts: I’ve had to do some unspeakable things in my life. Some might even consider me a bad guy.

My secrets can get people hurt, even killed. For that reason, I’ve never let anyone get close to me.

Until Catherine.

Her life of isolation so closely mirrors mine that I feel inextricably bound to her.

She’s my one shot at redemption, and I just may be hers. If the risk is too much for her, she’ll leave. If she stays, my life’s mission changes forever…

I thought that Privacy Code was emotional enough but then came along Illicit Code and things all changed for me.  This book had me reading and reading until the small hours again it was so addictive.

I did find myself wishing and praying for a HEA when reading this book.

The emotion that Catherine and Watts go through is truly brilliant to read, you can do nothing but love Watts.  

One of the quotes in this book I loved so much I was compelled to write it into my review.  It shows the turmoil that Watts was going through:- “The way I saw it, I had three options: One, break things off with her; two, tell her everything and make her aware of who she had become involved with; three, go on like we had been and not tell her anything.”

When Catherine and Watts decide to take their relationship to the next level, well it does get hot and you will be pleased to know it does not fizzle out later on in this book, it is still intense and extremely sizzling throughout this story.  Where these two go with their relationship is a decision they both have to figure out, but Catherine needs to know more about Watts and why he needs his privacy so much.

Can these two keep going???.  Is Catherine strong enough to keep going and can Watts give up his secrets and have a deep committed relationship with Catherine...  I can’t wait for the third book.

I would have not problem in recommending this book as part of the series you will be surprised I think as to how much you are going to love it.

 

The last in the series of books

The hottest and most intense installment…this is the thrilling conclusion to the SHATTERPROOF series. “You’re going to have to make a choice, and it’s not going to be an easy one. I’m not the man you think I am.” - Watts 

Catherine made her choice. Now Watts faces an unexpected ultimatum from a nemesis that could threaten to tear them apart, just as he’s dealing with his riskiest and most important assignment yet, one that brings him closer than ever to getting caught. His decision will force them to face one of life’s ugliest truths: 

You can lose your one true love as quickly and unexpectedly as you find it. When Watts discovers that the threat runs deeper and much closer to home, his passion for Catherine becomes all the more worth the fight. Their future, and his redemption, depend on it.

I was given a ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is the last book in this series and I must stay it was the best one of the three of the books.  The intensity is great, the scenes HOT, the writing Amazing but the secrets are now out!!!

We read everything to do with Watt’s secrets, what he would do for the people he loves, the big question was could Catherine deal with everything now that she knows it all, will she make the best choice for her?

To write too much of a review would give so much away as this book was just a joy to read, the whole series was just Brilliant, Jordan kept the suspense throughout the whole series and I felt it was intensified in a way that kept you hooked, there is no way you would be satisfied just reading the first book, you need to read them all to get a full grasp of the brilliance that is this series.

Jordan Burke is a very talented writer and this series shows it.  You will NOT put these books down once you read them.

Jordan Burke could write more about Catherine and Watts and I personally would not get fed up reading about them that is how good these books are.  I was amazed at how the mysteries, ups and downs will keep you reading like me until the small hours.  The sex scenes are just panty dropping good, sexy as hell and so so so HOT, however, the body of the story is what makes this book so amazing.

This to me was more than 5 stars and would recommend the stories to anyone
