Kensey Lyons has never had ‘normal’. Instead, she has a mother who lives in her head, a stepfather who’s on death row, and the stigma that comes with being the child of an extramarital affair. Writing has always been her escape. Knowing the reception her books receive will be tainted by her personal life, Kensey secretly writes under a penname when she’s not working part-time at her godmother’s bar. Her world might not be exciting, but she likes it exactly as it is.
When she meets alarmingly compelling businessman Blake Mercier, the snap of attraction is instant. She doesn’t like it. Doesn’t want to be drawn to this man who is blatantly dangerous, carries dark secrets, and lives life by his own rules. Neither of them make a great first impression on the other, so she’s more than surprised when he begins to pursue her with a single-minded focus that is unsettling, thrilling, and infuriating. Her gut tells her to keep her distance, but Blake won’t let her run. Won’t give her space.
There’s another person who won’t give her space. Someone who has discovered the secret of her penname and who seems intent on taunting her. And as Kensey struggles to identify her persecutor, Blake is by her side, determined to keep her safe … because Blake Mercier always holds tight to what’s his. Always.

I´m a huge fan of Wright´s work. I loved "From Rags", the "Dark in You" series, and many other books by her.
And this one couldn´t be different.
Sometimes Blake was a little ( I mean, a lot) over the top. He was invasive, and too forward in his way to conquer Kelsey, but it didn´t bothered me. I felt as a part of the story, it was necessary, because she was really closed off, and if Blake wasn´t like that, they would never pass through the first stage of chemistry they felt toward each other.
And, oh my, what a chemistry they had. It was "melting panties" kind of chemistry.
The plot was good, the mental diseases subject wasn´t treated lighlty. I loved how much Kelsey understood her mother limits, because of her issues.

Eu sou um grande fã do trabalho de Wright. Eu amei "From Rags", a série "Dark in You", e muitos outros livros dela.
E este não poderia ser diferente.
Às vezes Blake era um pouco (quero dizer, muito) demais. Ele era invasivo enquanto tentava conquistá-la, mas isso não me incomodou. Eu senti que era necessário, parte da história, porque a Kelsey era uma pessoa muito fechada, e se Blake não fosse assim, eles nunca passariam pelo primeiro estágio da atração que sentiam um para o outro.
E, Meudels, que química eles tinham. Era do tipo "calcinha derretendo".
O enredo é bom, o assunto das doenças mentais não foi tratado levianamente. Eu amei como a Kelsey entendia os limites de sua mãe, e aceitava mesmo sendo difícil pra ela.
