Escalation, (Clandestine Affairs, Book 2) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The moment Rafe appeared on her doorstep, he was everything Brie Latham didn't know she needed. Sexy. Mysterious. Provocative. The absolute opposite of her domineering ex. Like a white knight in the form of a rugged, handsome construction worker, he freed her from her cage, allowing her to spread her wings and find herself again. To find love again.

Just as she was ready to give in and finally admit her feelings for him, her past swooped back in, death and destruction in its path, causing her to question everything she knows.

And everything she feels.

Was their relationship all just smoke and mirrors? Was she destined to repeat the vicious cycle with yet another manipulative man, only to crash and burn yet again?

Who is Rafe Matthews, and will Brie survive long enough to finally discover the truth?

**Escalation is book 2 in the Clandestine Affairs series. Book 3, Culmination, will release early 2016.

Tessa Teevan is a twenty-something book junkie who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are who she spends her time rooting for. She’s a research analyst by day, reads/writes by night, and is married to a guy 15 inches taller than her, making them quite the pair!

They currently reside just outside of Dayton, OH with two adorably grumpy cats. If she’s not writing or scouring through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find her curled up with her Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world.

I just get a little irritated when you fall in love with characters near trying to follow them along and you think you are reading a book that has an ending to it give me five thousand pages and I don't care but give me a book that has an ending and if you're going to break it up then tell me and let me buy it together because now I can't find the last book and as much as I love the story I'll never go back and read the end of it.

This was a great second book. As the race to find the hidden truths become a mystery that must find the light, danger for them all is just around the corner. including the one that is venerable the most.

4.0 out of 5 stars On Crazy Ride!

I've been waiting for this book for what seems like FOREVER! I needed to know who Rafe really was and what was going to happen to Brie after the end of Instigation.

Escalation does not disappoint! We finally get to know who Rafe really is, and to see more of the mystery that surrounds Brie. Finding out who Rafe Mathews was was an awesome thing. I had ideas, but when it was all laid out there, I was like well hmm.... wasn't expecting all of that. I am definitely wanting to know who "The Boss" is and I have some suspicions, but am not sure if I'm right, as I have been wrong about a lot in this series already.

When Brie found out all about Rafe she was ANGRY and hurt, but the draw to him is too strong that she understands what he did and why he did it, even if she doesn't fully agree with everything he's done. It took some time for her to get why he did what he did, and she was definitely hot and cold with him during this time, which I enjoyed.

Brie and Rafe have a long road ahead of them, and unlike most second books in a trilogy, Escalation has a thick plot and gives us some answers. This is not a filler book, but one that you have to read. The things we find out from Brie and Rafe's past are amazing, and even more confusing. For every one answer we get, I feel like I have two more waiting to be answered. I adore Rafe and Brie and truly hope they do get their HEA, but there is so much that needs to be answered before they can even think about this.

Seeing Brie wanting to help Rafe and them being equals in their relationship now that most of the secrets are out was awesome. You can't deny how much Rafe feels about Brie, and Brie is definitely in love with him as well. They are HOT together, but it's not just the bedroom chemistry that makes these two work. They make each other laugh, they care, and are there for one another, and I adored this about their story.

Needless to say you have to read Instigation to read Escalation, this is not a stand alone. This trilogy is AMAZING and I absolutely cannot wait till the third and final book is here so I can get all the answers that are swirling around in my head.
