Moving to New York as meant to be a fresh start, away from the scandal, from the relentless hounding of the press. With college now completed and certificate in hand the time has come to look to the future and plan the rest of their lives together. But things are never that easy. The years have been hard, but Penny is starting to realise one thing very quickly. Despite everything they’ve been through, James is still keeping secrets. His ex is unwilling to let him go, his parents won’t even meet her, and she has more questions than answers. How can she look to the future when everyone who should be involved in her new life has no intention of welcoming her? She had never liked New York, but now she feels more isolated than ever before. Can she really embrace a future built on lies and uncertainty?
Eruption is the third instalment in Ivy Smoak’s Hunted series. Ivy Smoak is such a talented author that I have already reread each of her books twice, and I am generally not one to reread a book, but these books are just so addictive, because of this I decided it was about time I wrote a full review. The only reason I didn’t do this at the time was because I literally read her books one after the other. I must confess absolutely in love with this author’s writing, Ivy has a way of engaging the reader and pulling her into the world and lives she has created in such a way you can’t help but become invested in the characters and their lives. Life isn’t easy for Penny and James, their relationship is still new and with an ex wife who will go to whatever lengths needed to ensure she doesn’t have to surrender the man she still thinks of as hers. Gripping, intense, and emotional, this series will break your heart as much as it will warm it. Filled with challenges, obstacles, and a person who hands-down, has to be one of the most infuriating antagonists I’ve ever crossed paths with. If you haven’t already picked up one of Ivy’s books, what are you waiting for. Join the addiction, because it’s one you’ll never want to shed.
