What do you do when all your secrets– and your heart– are exposed?

Natalie Anderson has spent her life being strong for everyone else, always putting herself last. But that has come with a price because the stress and secrets are affecting every part of her life. Looking and acting the part is one thing, but feeling it is another. She knows she’s at a crossroads and she needs to make a change, starting with loosening up and living a little.

Kai Pierson is done being a grunt. He’s finally worked his way up the ladder and he now finds himself a rep at the hottest label, representing the hottest band in all of rock music. He’s living the life…alone, but he’s okay with that. It’s the way it needs to be.

Though they’ve never met in person, they become friends and spend hours talking about life. When the chance to meet arrives, neither of them are ready how they feel when they see each other for the first time.

But when Natalie’s secrets are exposed, will she be able to put it all behind her and find her own happiness, or will the lies destroy her once and for all?

•••••••••

REVIEW: EXPOSED is the fourth and final instalment in L.L. Collins’s contemporary, adult JADED REGRET romance series focusing on the members of the rock band Jaded Regret. This is the band’s manager Natalie Anderson, and their recording company rep Kai Pierson’s story line. EXPOSED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for cohesion and back story I recommend reading the series in order. For fans of the Jaded Regret series Natalie is Beau’s (Snared/Jaded Regret 2) sister.

Told from dual first person points of view (Natalie and Kai) EXPOSED focuses on the long distance, and building relationship between Jaded Regret’s band manager Natalie Anderson, and company representative Kai Pierson. Natalie and Kai have never met but work together long distance through emails, phone calls and text. With the bands’ upcoming international tour on the agenda, Kai and Natalie arrange to meet in New York to finalize the plans and get to know one another… but Natalie has a dark secret that she keeps from the people she loves, and it is this secret that will set off a series of events placing our heroine’s life in danger, revealing more than one secret Natalie has kept from the band. What ensues is the growing love between two people whose lives have intertwined for months, and the revelation that all is not well in Natalie’s well-ordered life. Beau and Natalie’s past continues to haunt the siblings but none more so than our story line heroine.

The relationship between Natalie and Kai is one of instant attraction, insta-lust, and for Kai a case of insta-love. Throughout the series, up until our couple meet for the first time, Kai insists on exchanging photos with the woman that calls to his heart but Natalie continues to ignore, refuse or change the subject. Natalie does not like having her picture taken for reasons only she can understand, and when they finally exchange online images both are pulled into the other’s life. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive.

All of the previous story line couples and band members play secondary and supporting roles. L.L. Collins pulls the reader into the lives and loves of Jaded Regret where we witness the growing family of children and friends.

EXPOSED covers another controversial topic; an emotional and physical disorder that affects millions of people but a disorder that is hidden by guilt and shame. The premise is engaging and revealing: the characters are heartbreaking, tragic and animated; the romance is provocative and fated.
