One week. No future. No past. No more.
Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.
"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”
Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:
One week. No more.
When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.
"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?
BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.
I felt like the book was off to a slow start. The first half seemed to be really long and drawn out but that is to be expected with the intricate tales that Aleatha normally spins. Jumping back and forth between the past and present gave the story two different feels and, of course, perspectives. I definitely enjoyed the "present" chapters more as it was the complex plot being spun while the "past" chapters was more the "action" part of this first novel. I've always been more of a story > sex kind of reader so I definitely appreciated all of the issues Alex faced at home and was running away from. It seemed like the more characters that were brought into the novel the more layers were being added on. I was back and forth on Charli's/Alex's character for the longest time. Part of me rolls my eyes as to how easily she fell into Nox's arms but part of me loves how strong she is to stand up to the bullshit put forth by her family. The ending was a bit of (expected) messed up and left me craving more story. As a fan of the author's other series, I was expecting a twisted plot with a cliffhanger-type ending and she didn't disappoint!
