EPISODE TWO: As a calculated assassin, Ripley thrives on always being in control. But when the woman he’s sworn to kill makes an offer he can’t refuse, his control is what he risks losing most.
Ripley
They call me RIP.
I’m a killer. A murderer. A psychopath.
In the eyes of the righteous, I’m a monster, born of sin and depravity.
I want to protect her, but I’m not a good man.
I want to love her, but I no longer feel.
She gets under my skin, though, and has awakened something inside of me.
Something I’d kill for.
I’m not her savior—not even close. In fact, I’m worse than the hell she’s already suffered.
I’m her vengeance. Tit for tat, as they say.
And if she’s not careful, I’ll be her ruin.
Dylan
For months, I’ve watched him.
I’ve fantasized him as my savior, my lover. My ticket out of the hell I’ve lived in for the last six years.
I never dreamed he’d be my nightmare.
Had I known what he really is, I’d have never gotten in the car that night, but life is full of cause and effect.
And sometimes the choice on offer isn’t a choice at all.
It’s the result of something already in motion, and we’re merely left to survive the ripple effect.
*This is an erotic suspense/erotic romance not recommended for readers under the age of 18 due to graphic violence and sex.

REVIEW:
Fans of Dark Gritty & Intense read the Ripple Effect Episodes are definitely for you!
These books must be read in order you will never follow whats going on.
We jump straight back into the story where Episode 1 left off. After being caught trying to steal six thousand dollars from Ripley, Dylan finds herself being held captive by him.
She's left alone coming in and out of consciousness not knowing what Rip is going to do with her!!
Ripley needs answers and answers only Dylan can give him. He needs her afraid of him and clean of the pills she's been hiding behind. While he's holding her captive he finds himself being intrigued by her but also not like this fact. Then shocks himself even more by giving her a "offer" but this is no easy way out she will be his for two months and by being his she had to do EVERYTHING
he wants her to do!!
Dylan really does try to hide and deny any attraction she has for Rip but she can't there is just something about this man that pulls her to him. And in excepting his offer she knows its like excepting an offer from the devil himself.
Again with this second episode we still get just as much intensity but with a lot more steamy scenes. Some may thing that with this being in episodes that the story may fizzle out but it really doesn't. It will still have you on the edge of your seat. The pace is action pack and never falters Ripley continues to be just as intense and dangerous but in this episode Dylan starts to show more of her spirit and i'm really looking forward to the next part to see where these two characters go.
Another great read!!
