To say the situation is complicated is an understatement.
And when the secret is unveiled, it’s definitely surprising, but I questioned some of the rationale. I didn’t doubt her feelings or their bond. Where the story falls short is in establishing the basis for Maverick’s consuming love for Killian. However, it certainly doesn’t help matters that the lingering sexual tension between Killian and Maverick is so intense.
Kael thinks he can love Maverick enough for both of them, but as Bonnie Raitt sings, “You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t.” Then again, maybe the head just needs to gain clarity in order for the heart to fall in love. Unfortunately for him, he’s been friend zoned, and the love she feels for him has always been platonic in nature. The depth of Kael’s love for Maverick is breathtaking. Kreig for making the reader ask that question. Is she punishing Killian or settling? I love K.L. Maverick, in turn, marries Kael-her best friend since childhood who just so happens to be Killian’s brother. Killian is the love of Maverick’s life, and he commits the ultimate betrayal by suddenly marrying her sister. Mystery, backstabbing, and selfless love elevate what could be your typical love triangle into something wonderfully complex and unpredictable. Black Swan Affair is decidedly different though. The childhood boyfriend who goes away to college and comes back a changed man plot is nothing new, and I either enjoy or loathe love triangles depending on my mood and the story. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed this. So I did the only thing a girl like me in my position could do. And he destroyed me-us-the day he married my sister instead of me. But instead of smelling of promises, he stunk of betrayal. It didn’t even matter when he left me behind to go to college and start his adult life. It didn’t matter that he looked at me as a kid sister even as I grew into woman.
It didn’t matter that he was five years older than me. He wears scruff like he invented it and ambles with a swagger that makes panties drop. The gangly boy with big brown eyes and unruly hair who grew up into an intoxicating man. I’ve loved him as long as I can remember. Published by Self-Published on October 17th 2016
