Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her room-mate being raped by the boyfriend. She had two choices. Call the cops and be killed by his family’s Mafia connections or kill him first and hope to survive. There was no choice to her. She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her. Carter Reed. He’s a weapon for the rivalling Mafia family, but he’s also Emma’s secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she’s the reason he became the weapon in the first place.
This book is not for the faint of heart.

With many stories you have a small bit of a drag with stories as they begin. The first few chapters start slow and then begin to pick up pace and interest, but a really important factor in writing is the ability to hook a reader in from the first work.
What’s so different about Tijan’s Carter Reed is the amazing way she has begun the book. With action from the first page, the reader is completely and utterly hooked and pulled into the story.
Emma is our main protagonist and she has an amazing role to play in this story. Her backstory is heart-breaking and interesting and her connection with Carter is like another piece of the puzzle, it fits.
At the start I feared Emma would be another one of those characters that curl up in bed and hide for the whole story, but she proved me wrong and turned out to be an amazingly strong willed character full of fiery passion that holds the readers in enticement.
Carter takes up his own POV throughout the book and I loved seeing things from Carter’s eyes, it really opens up a new view of the story world that Tijan has created in this story. Carter appears to the world as a cold hearted killer, but to Emma he’s the same boy she knew all those years ago.
I loved the chemistry between Emma and Carter, from their very first meeting you could feel it bubbling beneath the surface and Tijan has done an extraordinary job of playing with that chemistry and making it something more.
With action, romance, fear and secrets, Carter Reed is a must read for anyone looking for a different type of story that will enthral all readers from the get-go!
