Synopsis:
To give is a virtue. But to give your very self, the ultimate bequest. Offered in love, it can be wondrous. Offered in desperation, it can be deadly.
In Book Two of this three-part epic, young and tempting Kate Simmons at last seemed to have reached a safe haven of happiness when she moved in with Neil, ambitious and persevering, both in his legal practice and his love life. Taking great care to protect his trophy and the surprise he had in mind for Kate, Neil hired security to accompany his soon-to-be fiancée on a scavenger hunt of a lifetime. As Book Three continues their saga, it is life itself that is in the balance when Kate becomes the hunted as the jilted Roger snatches his prey.
The obsessed minds of Neil and Roger now take aim squarely at each other with a bare and exposed Kate directly in the crossfire. Knowing her very life will be the winner’s spoil, Kate stares agony in its ghastly face as it approaches for the death dance.
There is no time, no place, no safety in a war of fixation. A war in which the winner will be either the last one standing, or the last one to die.

My Review
5 of 5 Given To You
Holy Effing Cow! Man does Carlie know how to keep somebody on edge and full of angst anxiously awaiting the next book to see what happens. Lord I have seen a lot of crazy and I have read a lot of crazy but lets face it when it comes to psychopath and sociopath Roger takes the cake with those labels actually he owns them hell. He is one crazy son of a biatch and I mean lord he is just crazy as all get up and he does not know the word no or move the eff on! Stalk much..... yes and as we left it off in Taken By You Roger has Kate and Neil has no idea where she has gone off to but he knows there is something wrong. Roger has lost it and he feels like Kate is his and always will be and he intends on making her his own and soon.
Kate God bless her because she knows in order to stay alive she better play it cool and do everything Roger says because at this point he is unstable. Kate is worried about Neil because she doesn't want Roger to hurt him and just when she is ready to throw in the towel Neil finds her and he and Roger go at it. Yes my man Neil is kicking some serious ass and guess what holy effing Roger he gets away!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay so about this time I am so ready to throw my freaking Kindle because I am like what the hell is he not going to get caught? Christ almighty Kate and Neil deserve their happily ever after are they going to get it?
After all this goes down with Roger Neil and Kate are ready to start living and doing things together. As they are getting on with their life enjoying themselves and preparing for the big day someone else has something in store for them. See someone else wants Neil and she is not happy about what is going down and she is determined to ruin it for Kate and Neil. She knows Neil will not listen to her so she goes after Kate. With this someone else because I am not going to ruin for you she does everything in her powers to stop Kate and Neil. But what she did not know was that Roger is back and he has been watching Neil and Kate and he plans on stopping the two.
Will Roger and mystery lady get what they want? Or will they get caught and Kate and Neil will finally get their Happily Ever After? This is a must read series that will have you biting your nail and on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next and let me tell you that Carlie does a dozy with a cliff hanger but shizz when you get the next book you are like holy mother that was worth the wait!
How tragic it is when a caged spirit finally finds its freedom and — entranced in its ecstasy — is invited by that freedom into a cloaked dance with danger.
In Book One of this three-part epic, Kate Simmons — young and alluring, and finally out of her cage of grief — attracts more than attention. Intoxicated by her newfound independence, a blithe Kate is on her way to finding out that around the corners of life, some life-changing eye-openers await. As the story continues in Book Two and she begins to churn a dangerously turbulent trail, it is Kate who now has to snap to, to react, to outrun, or become yet another tortured victim who vanishes down the path of wrong choice.
Having already roiled the risky waters of jealousy, Kate moves in with Neil while Roger — an enamored oddity — visits his son in Germany. Upon his return and finding Kate gone, Roger’s predator mind becomes unhitched, and then unleashed, on the hunt of a lifetime. But whose life?
Step by creeping step, even as Kate’s future closes in on her, she attends — obliviously — to her new life, working through the challenges of fresh relationships, losing family members both to death and to deceit, questioning the depth of love.
Every path offers a choice. Every choice offers a consequence. And every consequence summons its due. As emotions swirl across fateful days and nights, some in Kate’s life will reach out to touch happiness in warm embraces, others to sever ties in bloody traces.
The stains of passion are frequently mistaken. The question here is who will be taken?
Goodreads:
If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside watching you sleep.
And so it is with Kate Simmons, a young woman who, by choosing to regain her life, actually puts it at risk by the very choices she makes. After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a three-year blackness of self blame that brings her to the edge of life, itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.
Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices more than ever mark a splattered line between being happy and being dead.
Care to choose? Here’s your menu:
A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.
Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.
You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.
