Her
secret lover…is her new husband…
Amelia Grant never expected to become Mrs.
Nicholas Riley—despite their torrid affair. But now the wife of London’s most
infamous businessman, she knows her life will never be the same. Nick has shown
her the ways of sinful pleasure and the depths of his desire—but the truth
within his heart is another story...
Amelia knows his past is a dark secret, but
will their new marriage bring them closer than ever? Or will the pain of the
past keep them from finding their happily ever after?
My Thoughts:
We have arrived to the final part of the Desire Me books. If you haven't read the first two stories, you will need to pick up them before proceeding to the final installment. Like the previous story we are picking up where we left off, and there is vital information that is require for this story. Cause we learn a great deal about Nick's past and how it fuels his need for vengeance. We get see Amelia and Nick marry in Desire Me Always. However, will Nick's need to for vengeance cause strife in this newlywed couple. The first couple of chapters is Nick and Amelia enjoying their honeymoon, but Nick needs to satisfy his hunger to get revenge on the vicar. Killing two birds with one stone. However, we have Shauley making a nuisance in Nick's plan. You will remember him as the guy who kidnapped Amelia and from Nick's past.
Overall, the Desire Me stories need to be read in order, to get the full benefit of Nick and Amelia's story. As a whole it's a pretty good read where you see two people who overcome the past to find love. Nick never envisioned himself being married, but when Amelia entered his life that all changed. She changed him for the better, but it wasn't an easy process. She stuck by his side through thick and thing. I have to say that ending is a sweet conclusion for this couple and leaves you with a smile to see them overcome all their obstacles. So, if you don't mind going through dark times to find a happy ending, you might consider reading the Desire Me books.

Excerpt
“You
are the most beautiful bride I’ve ever laid eyes upon,” Nick said, and it
melted her heart to hear those words.
Nick’s
hand slid away from her face to grasp her hand. He led her out of the church.
His focus was solely on her, as though she were the only person to look at—as
though it was only the two of them here witnessing this great event.
A
carriage waited just outside, ready to take them back to the inn. As they made
their way to the open barouche, guests threw seeds and nuts over their heads
that rained upon them in a rite of fertility. It shouldn’t surprise her that
everything down to the finest detail had been planned for them while she hid in
her room, ashamed that she had once again been the victim of another’s hatred.
This
one moment of normalcy brought more tears to her eyes.
Her
wedding day proved to be the most perfect day in her life.
Before
she knew it, Nick was handing her up into the carriage, pulled by two white
geldings, champing at their bits to be given free rein.
“How
ever did you procure them?” She leaned forward, wishing for a better look at
the beautiful animals, wishing she could touch them in all their majesty.
Nick
hauled her down next to him on the soft velvet seat and pressed his fingers to
her veil-covered lips. “We didn’t have time to plan a wedding more deserving—”
“Nick
. . .”
“It’s
a gift. One of many I intend to shower you with.”
Amelia
lowered her gaze, but she couldn’t hide from Nick for long; his fingers were
beneath her chin, lifting her face, forcing her to look at him and see the
truth in his eyes.
“Don’t
shy away from me, Amelia.”
“Today
has been everything I ever wished for—and everything I never imagined possible.
I’m overwhelmed by the emotions flooding me. By the love I feel for you . . .
by everything. Oh, Nick, today has been so perfect I can’t find the right words
of gratitude.”
“Words
aren’t needed.”
Nick’s
hands gathered up the lace of her veil. Amelia grasped his wrist before he
could reveal her face. The carriage hadn’t yet moved, and she wasn’t ready to
share her wounds with the world, even though it was only a matter of time
before she would have to face all the kind people who had attended their
wedding.
“I
will kiss my bride and claim you in front of our friends and guests.”
Amelia
gave a sidelong glance toward their audience, waving good-bye and cheering for
them. What did she have to lose in ceding to Nick’s one wish?
“Trust
me,” he said.
Nick’s
hands engulfed hers, and he lowered them to her lap, quashing her efforts to
try to pull the veil back in place. He used his free hand to gather up the
delicate gauze. As the last bit of Chantilly lace cleared her mouth, Nick laid
his lips upon hers.
There
was latent promise in the fold of his mouth over hers. It was like he was
daring her, pushing her boundaries to see just how far she’d go. Would she deny
herself something she wanted as much as he did? If she were a braver person,
she would have lifted her veil in front of the guests, but she still wasn’t
ready to take that step. Instead, she pulled away, thankful the veil hid her
furious blush from everyone who cheered them on.
“Wave
good-bye to our guests, Amelia. I’m about to steal you away for what remains of
the week.”
