Silent Guilt (Silent #2)
N.E. Henderson
When Shannon Taylor entered his world, Nicholas
Lockhart found everything he always wanted, but knew he could never have.
Neither of them knew how connected their pasts
were nor the secrets that lay waiting to tear them apart. Shannon and Nick fell
hard and fast for one another.
Nick struggles with his own demons and guilt
that he’s been carrying around for the past ten years. When he learns what
happened to Shannon all those years ago and knowing the part he played in it,
he feels responsible. Can he let it go and forgive himself?
Or, will his silent guilt consume him and make him lose the two things that have become his life, his world, his love...his everything?
Or, will his silent guilt consume him and make him lose the two things that have become his life, his world, his love...his everything?
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Silent Guilt picks up right where we are left at the end of Silent No More. Definitely a lot of high drama going on here, and you really are going to want to read Silent No More before reading this one. Shannon and Nick are very much in love, but they have found that their lives have a dark connection that threatens their already challenging relationship. Nick struggles with his own demons that tell him he is responsible for some of Shannon's pain and he feels that he will be and for her if he stays in her life. Shannon is devastated by Nick's erratic behavior and feels that she can't live without him even though living with him is also challenging. It is unclear whether Nick will be able to tackle his demons and be the man that Shannon needs him to be.
Get ready people, because the emotions in this book are all over the place. This is one of those books where I connected with the characters even though I would not want to be in this relationship. There is tons of passion, but with the intense love and lust comes the other side of that coin, which is a hot temper and a short fuse. It was tough to see Nick want to be the person that Shannon needs, but finding himself over and over unable to keep his emotions and behaviors in check. I love it when we get to experience stories through characters who are flawed. It makes a book feel more real when the people in it react badly to things sometimes, make poor choices, and have to deal with and figure things out after experiencing the consequences of their choices. Through all the chaos and drama I really did want Shannon and Nick to figure things out and find a way to be together in a way they both deserved. This book held my attention throughout and I am hoping that we may get more books in this series to continue to get to know Nikki better and see where things go in her relationship with Jase. There is a whole lot of sexy in this book, and I have a feeling I'd love to get to see the kind of sexy times Nikki enjoys!
