I'm trying for a normal adult review here. Be the first to admit I tend to gush a bit here and there over my favorite authors. Which I feel is normal, I mean they take me away from the every day issues in life and pull me into the world they created. And really, we all need some escape, this is my escape of choice.
Now the story.......

I've been binging this series, and I have to say, this is my favorite book of this authors yet!
We met Preston in book one, so we know that he's a recovering drug addict who is trying so desperately to right all the wrongs he did when he was using. Part of that is the one night of passion he and Landon shared two years ago -- one she promptly ran away from. Here are two broken characters, struggling to make peace with their always, who come together and form a beautiful love.

Your past is the foundation for who you become but you don’t have to let it define you. Landon has secrets that threaten to destroy her sanity if she can’t learn to forgive herself. Preston has overcome his narcotics addictions and is clean but he knows it’s a slippery slope. Maybe they can help each other use lessons learned and come out stronger on the other side. This romantic suspense will have you rooting for two very damaged people and leave you with a heart full of hope.
Two years ago, Preston and Landon shared a night of intimacy. It was the first time in their lives that they were able to let their guard down and relax with someone. Landon ran away, never to be seen again. Until now.
Preston is a drug addict. He has been clean for a while now and he and his brother have reconnected and started a PI agency. Their first case just so happens to be a drug case. His expertise as a previous user will allow for him to gain information that someone else wouldn’t be ab ...more

We met Preston in book 1 – he’s Brody’s brother, and he is determined to atone for his sins, and he has ample opportunity for that here. Landon is part of his history – a hot night that she ran away from. Landon’s awesome, but it’s Preston that I fell for. It’s painful to watch him struggle with forgiving himself and hard to watch Brody try to help with that and protect him from himself. Landon is also fighting the demons of her past, and, finding herself as a DEA agent on the same case as Prest

I really enjoyed this novel. Preston and Landon both have their own shadows following them. Guilt is a dangerous, and sometimes, debilitating emotion.
That night in the bar, Preston fends off an over bearing man. Before leaving, he wants to be sure, the lonely woman would be okay. Could Preston take away Landon's pain? Just one night?
Ms. Shaw did an amazing job with both of the main characters. I felt their pain, and felt their "recoveries." I felt deeply for Preston. He is my newest book boyfr ...more

This was a read that went with what I have been reading alot of lately with it also filled a need to get away for a bit. This also seems to turn out to be a second chance even though at first I don't think Preston thinks like that so much at first with her not in the know. The alpha that he is we quickly attach to him again. Now with Landon on the scene they need to find some answers to some dangerous and killer questions. They have to be on the same page though if they want to be alive to exper

LK Shaw keeps outdoing herself with each new release. I love the suspense, passion and intrigue that come with the Love Undercover series. The characters are so complex and deep, vulnerable, yet strong. The way that she write about characters with substance abuse in their past is so real, it makes my heart break and tears come to my eyes every time I read. I get so emotionally invested in these worlds that she creates. I was on the edge of my seat with each word that I read. I can't wait for mor

There are so many facets to this story and I was hooked from the beginning. Even if you haven't read the previous books in this story, it does stand alone and follows Landon and Preston. They both have their own demons but what hooked me, was that they were human. Preston is trying to move forward and when he sees Landon again, he knows he can't let her go. It's passionate, sexy, intriguing, emotional, and so much more packed into one amazing story.

A great story of characters that have overcome tragedy in their lives. I enjoyed reading Preston and Landon's story. I was drawn into their story of sadness and love. They both were strong and loving characters. Then add the little bit of danger and that makes the love even stronger. It was a very enjoyable story.

ATONEMENT by LK Shaw
Ms. Shaw is one of my favorite authors, and ATONEMENT is one of the reasons why. Great characters, great storyline, a twist or two here and there, and wrapped up at the end with a lovely HEA. Her stories just get better and better! Thanks LK for another good book, and I look forward to many more.

Another fantastic book in the Love Undercover series. Preston and Landon have things from their past that they are trying to deal with and get over. Also while dealing with their past they are trying to find out who is responsible for selling a new drug called Rapture. To find out if Preston and Landon catch the drug dealer and deal with their pasts read this book.
I loved this third in the series. Fast paced, a couple wrap ups on outstanding series issues, some reminders (for me at least) from other stories and positive strength attributes that the author always just gets. We also get her normal of great suspense, hidden reveals, and great sexy time with main characters. Absolutely one of my favorite covers/models this year.
I absolutely Love this series. Atonement is book three in this series and is Landon and Preston's story. These two have been dancing around each other since the beginning of the series and I'm so glad that they finally get to have their happy ending. Now if the same could only happen for Michele and Pablo

Best story of the series. I loved that the main characters have similar ghosts making them feel unworthy. The fact that together they can find peace in each other is beautiful. The suspense action will keep you intrigued till the end.

It is my biggest pet peeve in romance novels when the girl keeps pushing the guy away.. I hate such girls.. The 3 stars is for Preston & Preston alone...

I'm the best-selling author of sexy, sinful suspense. I also write steamy contemporary romance. I write characters the reader can relate to. My characters are plus-size, scarred, rape victims, child abuse victims, etc. I want readers to connect with my characters.
