ESCALATION
Author: Tessa Teevan
Series: Clandestine Affairs #2
- SYNOPSIS -
The moment Rafe appeared on her doorstep, he was everything Brie Latham didn't know she needed. Sexy. Mysterious. Provocative. The absolute opposite of her domineering ex. Like a white knight in the form of a rugged, handsome construction worker, he freed her from her cage, allowing her to spread her wings and find herself again. To find love again.
Just as she was ready to give in and finally admit her feelings for him, her past swooped back in, death and destruction in its path, causing her to question everything she knows.
And everything she feels.
Was their relationship all just smoke and mirrors? Was she destined to repeat the vicious cycle with yet another manipulative man, only to crash and burn yet again?
Who is Rafe Matthews, and will Brie survive long enough to finally discover the truth?

- EXCERPT -
While I hang my head, shame and remorse fill me. I promised to protect her. And what did I do? I let her down. I should’ve known that it would end up like this. I should’ve seen it coming. Yet my mind was clouded as my days and nights—and, soon, my heart—were filled with her, and she was all I could see. I let my guard down, and this is where it got me. Where it got us.
I never got to tell her the truth.
I never got to tell her how I feel.
I will never forgive myself if I never get the chance.
And I will spend the rest of my days hunting the man who did this to her. When I find him, I will kill him.
Because for her? I’d do anything.

- ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
Tessa Teevan
Tessa is a twenty something book junkie who loves creating books boyfriends as much as she loves reading them. Government worker by day, writer by night, she gets little sleep, but couldn't imagine her life any less hectic. She lives just outside of Dayton, Ohio and has been married to her own book boyfriend for nine years.
If she’s not writing or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find her curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. Her other obsessions include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Stone Sour.

Sonja's Review
You know that moment when you've been reading your book thinking when you finish it the story will be finished too, but then when you notice your progress and you know that the actual story can't possibly be finished before you run out pages? You know that wide-eyed, jaw-dropping, open-mouthed moment? Yeah, well, it happened with Escalation and the way it ended - just ARGH!!! ARGH as in anger! I'm actually not mad that it's not over because I love the whole mystery aspect to it and I'm really looking forward to the next book, it's really just the particular way ended. I just want yell, more than I already have, and I wish I could just reach through the book to just shake some sense into one of the characters because UGH! But despite all that, I really loved reading this book!
Oh, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie, Brie. I love her, but sometimes it's really good that's she's only a fictional character - well, good for her anyway since she doesn't have to deal with my yelling. She definitely knows how to drive me totally batty sometimes, but for the most part, I really like her. It's true that she gets confused and she struggles with her head and heart, but Brie is truly brave and she becomes a stronger person every day. I love seeing it and I'm proud of her.
I didn't think it would be possible for Rafe to steal any more of my heart than he did in Instigation, but boy, was I ever wrong! He completely and utterly stole my heart and owned it. He's so sweet and protective and devoted to Brie and he just says the most perfect, heart melting things that Brie and I never stood a chance. Rafe is the kind of hero that you want your book boyfriend to be like. He's just amazing and I loved, loved, loved him!!
Escalation is a heartbreaking, beautiful, touching read full of mystery, suspense, steam, and some sweetness. It will keep you on your toes and guessing what's going to happen next. There are times when it frustrated me and made me yell, times where it made my heart ache and melt, and a lot of times where it made me laugh, smile, and sigh. It's an amazing read and I enjoyed it quite a lot!
Escalation needs to be read after Instigation, it's told from Brie and Rafe's POV, and although it does end in an argh-cliffhanger, I'm unbelievably excited for whatever comes next!!
