{{BLOG TOUR & REVIEW}} ELASTIC HEART BY MARY CATHERINE GEBHARD
What do you do when the man who raped you has the entire police force in his pocket? When you’re called a slut, a whore, and a liar? You get your own justice.
My name is Nami DeGrace, and six months ago I was a normal college student. I was volunteering on the campaign of a man I believed in, a man I thought to be good and noble. Then one night that man forced himself on me and everything changed.
The media reviled me. The police didn’t believe me. My friends abandoned me. I dropped out of college and only have one mission in life: make him pay. That is, until Nick Law came in to my life.
Indomitable, infuriating, and irresistible, Law is complicating things.
Law gripped the back of my neck and pulled me into him. It wasn’t a kiss—it was a merging. I didn’t just taste the power, I felt the cutting intensity throughout my body. I responded instantly, wrapping my arms around his neck and moaning into his mouth. Law stopped and undid my hands from his neck. I opened my eyes, confused.
“Can’t have you waking everyone up,” Law said, grinning. “Be good and you’ll be rewarded.” I wanted to rebel at that. I nearly slapped him across the face. Yet deep inside, his words made me glow. I dropped my arms to my sides and waited for instructions.
Law traced a finger from my cheek down to my collarbone and carefully brushed aside my cotton shirt. I shivered as my shoulder became exposed. Bending down, he placed a light kiss on the tip of my shoulder. I bit my lip to keep from whimpering.
“Good girl,” Law murmured against my skin. It took all my willpower not to grip Law by his powerful shoulders. I didn’t want him to stop, though, so that meant playing by his rules. I kept my hands next to my sides because that meant Law would continue kissing me.
Law placed a hand on my stomach and I gasped.
“Shh…” Using his other thumb, Law tugged my bottom lip. “You have a beautiful mouth, Dandelion. Don’t let it get us in trouble.” I was speechless, or at least I thought I was. My thoughts got jumbled up with his hands on my mouth and my stomach.
Then he did something amazing.
Something reckless.
He slid his hand from my stomach and beneath my jeans.
I was captivated with this book from beginning to end. The authors writing was beyond believable and pulled me in. There are triggers throughout this book but the handling of these situation was well executed. My heart broke for what Nami had endured at the hand of a man who was so highly respected. Not only that but the justice system aswell as friend let her down but some how she remained strong.
Nami's life was turned upside down when she was raped. When she reported this to the police she was told to drop it and move on. Nobody believed her, her friends disowned her she was called a whore and a liar. She knew the truth and made it her mission to reveal the truth and bring the man down herself. She dosnt trust easily anymore but who could blame her.
When she crosses paths with Nick Law, she starts to question things in a different light. He is everywhere and when things go wrong he helps her pick up the pieces. Slowly her walls start to crumble...
Nick Law is not what he seems, there is a reason he is around so much but are his intentions good or bad? And how will Nami feel when truths are told and secrets are unveiled?
