Immortal Billionaires #3
After I Run
The truth can set you free but sometimes fate has other plans…
★★★★★
Harley
Clever. Thief. Liar
This was supposed to be the last job. The big score. If only I’d known that hacking into Cassius Reed’s account would spin my life into chaos. All I wanted was a big payday and the resources to find my birth parents. Now I was Cassius’s prisoner and I had information he wanted. To make matters worse, he was sexy as hell. Just one look into his eyes and I was tempted to spill all my secrets. But the man I worked for was even more dangerous than Cassius and if I snitched, there would be two immortals that wanted to punish me.
Cassius
Immortal. Billionaire. Werewolf
All I wanted to do was find the hacker and ruin them. But I wasn’t expecting her. Harley is smart, beautiful, and full of secrets. I’m an alpha without a mate and I swore I’d never fall in love again but I’m drawn to her. She awakens a part of me that has long been buried. I should find out who she’s working for but all I can think about is how badly I want to claim her. And when pieces of her past start to intersect with mine, I know I can’t let her out of my sight.
When Cassius and Harley’s worlds collide, their connection is undeniable but it sets them on a path full of secrets, lies, and ancient wounds. Harley must make a choice, give up the dangerous man she’s working for and trust the one who holds her captive, or run far away from both of them before their feud ends her life. But when Cassius sees a side to her that could change everything, he must figure out how to convince her to stop running. Because the only thing they have left to lose is their hearts.
When the lines of passion are blurred, can it ever become love? Or will it destroy them first?
AFTER I RUN is a standalone book in the Immortal Billionaires series, a steamy enemies to lovers paranormal romance with hot alpha shifters, a strong female heroine, and a HEA.

Just when I think I have a favorite book boyfriend, the author writes Cassius. All man, all wolf. I can’t get enough of this series! There’s always the perfect balance of suspense, action, and tons of heat. I really enjoyed the connection between Harley and Cassius. A total slow burn. This book is unputdownable! It will sink it's claws into you and won’t let go till the very end. You as a reader are ok with this! There are some twists and turns. One I had hoped was true!! Ah this book has me all in my feels.
If you haven’t read this series, what are you waiting for? Start it today! You won’t be disappointed and you’ll find a new fave series and author. I need the next one! I give this 5 stars.

Werewolves at their finest! I’m loving the direction Melissa Sercia is taking with her Immortal Billionaires. After I Run is a fantastic addition to the series. The chemistry between Harley and Cassius is off the charts, and I adored the trio of werewolves (Cassius, Marek, and Lars) and their brotherly affections. Fierce and cuddly! Just how I like my werewolf men. Harley fit in with this trio seamlessly. The book progressed the Immortal Billionaires story arc in a believable way, and I love that we got to see a different side of Kade. Looking forward to more of what Melissa Sercia has to offer!

This is a great continuation of the series and it was definitely a story that I did not want to consider putting down. I just love a well written paranormal romance and I loved every bit of it. Now, this has left me wanting to know what is next. This is a great world! No spoilers here so give it a read.

Harley needs money so she can find her birth parents and funds are hard to come by.
Hacking a known billionaire's account seems like the best idea but she didn't realize it would change her life forever.
Doing the job for a big pay from her boss was meant to be easy but when the billionaire finds her... She will be his snitch.
Cassius was determined to destroy the hacker until he saw her right in front of him.
Keeping her for information and to unravel her secrets, he can't deny the feelings she provokes inside him.
Harley knows spilling her guts will probably end with her losing them for real... The person she was working for is more dangerous than the werewolf she's stolen from.
Cassius has to fight the part of him which needs to claim her.
With them both so desperate to have each other... What will she decide?
Will she risk telling him all or will she protect herself at all cost?
This was a brilliant read with many secrets and danger on both sides.
I was quick to read this as it was so entertaining in more ways than one.
Who wouldn't want to read about a sexy alpha wolf?
This standalone will make you want to read the others in the series whether its necessary or not.
I enjoyed the development from enemies to lovers with everything that came in between.
I highly recommend this paranormal romance for its individuality.

I enjoyed this one. This is Cassius' story.😊
The werewolf. The ferocious and gentle immortal. The incomplete Alpha.
Also, it's Harley's story - the hacker who kind of spoiled the wrong waters.
It's full of surprises and I liked the twists in this one. It has some thriller vibe all along.
Even more, I liked the way it opens the door towards Kade's story.

Harley and Cassius . . .
Harley is trying to find her birth parents but needs money to accomplish that. Hacking an account seemed to be a fast way to get what she needed. But she gets caught. When Cassius and Harley are brought together, the connection between them is obvious. But Harley will have to give up the dangerous man who she works for and instead trust the man who is keeping her a captive. Or should she stop running and make a stand? What kind of future will she choose?

This is a very good enemies to lovers paranormal story. The suspense, mystery and intrigue along with the romance and heat make this a do not put down read. Now I want to read the rest of the series even if they aren't connected.

Real good!
So happy Kade is getting a boooook! I love the chemistry between all of the couples but can't seem to get passed that this was a missed opportunity for a reverse haram story with Lars and Merek. But also enjoyed their friendship. Can't wait to read the next book :)
