Book Review: Axel

AXEL (Corps Security, #1) by Harper Sloan: Fate hasn't always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a downright bitch.

Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn't by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door.

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

TeriLyn's thoughts: I really liked Axel. The book and the man. Axel was an alpha male, I liked him and Izzy's back-story, I liked his story. Izzy, although I completely sympathized with her, I wanted to yell at her sometimes. She went back and forth too much. I knew under all her pain there was a strong woman; she even brought the strong woman out to play at times. I couldn't understand how so very quickly she retreated into herself and lost all that strength. The secondary characters were awesome and I'm so glad each one of the Corps Security gets a book. Greg and Dee were awesome and fun. I enjoyed this a lot. I didn't love it to give it five stars and would not re-read it thus my four star rating, but it was good love story. On to Cage!
