Synopsis
The name's Aeron Lore. And you are...? Such a pleasure to meet you, sweetheart. Is that a southern accent? Gorgeous.
You fucking bitch.
Why so surprised? I control a billion dollar fortune. I control the news. Give me five minutes and I'll control you, too. If you could read my mind, you'd probably call me perverted. Unnatural. Manipulative. But I've learned to blend in, to be funny and charming. A predator in a designer suit.
I have no conscience. No shame in taking the things I want. And what I wanted was for Leontine Reeves to sell me her boutique tech firm so I could exploit the fuck out of it. Maybe exploit the fuck out of her, too, because desire haunts me in shades of scarlet, and I desire Leo most of all.
I never meant for this to be a love story. I fought it kicking and screaming, the same way Leo fought me. Now we're bleeding into each other, making a mess. A chaos. There's no control here. And what do monsters like me do when control leaves the building?
We attack.
SOCIOPATH noun,
1. a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.
I absolutely fucking LOVED it.
So not what I expected..
So different from anything out there...
So different from anything out there...
Aeron Lore is a sociopath. He thinks only of himself and what pleases or advances him. He does not care for other people, he doesn't know how. He has learned how to "act" and "fool" his way out of almost any situation. On top of his sociopathic behavior, he's also a cutter...started on himself, advanced to girls...and sometimes you wonder if he a psychopath also. The book never comes out and says if he's really killed anyone, but oh...the journey Lime Craven takes you on is fucking unbelievable. Her characters are AMAZING, her story line is AWESOME...
Every time I had to put the book down to do something I was trying to figure out how long until I could pick it back up. The present to past didn't bother me at all since it is separate chapters and you're never confused about which time frame you're in. I loved the fact that it's written entirely from Aeron's perspective (being a sociopath he obviously isn't going to share) and that he has custody of his young brother.
He surrounds himself with people he's "helped", but make no mistake, he defends his position about what they do for him..not anything he's doing for them, so even though he is all about himself, you see that he indeed does help out other people, maybe he just doesn't see it. Or perhaps it's just a by-product of doing for himself and he doesn't care that he's helped them.
Can a sociopath fall in love? Can someone fall in love with a sociopath?
~He kisses me with lips and knives, and for seconds, I forget the dark things, the starts I reached for and the scars I found in their place. They're just flashes of shadow in the light~
Gah, I have SO many questions...Did he or didn't he? if you've read the book you know what I mean..It never comes out and says that YES he did, just alludes to it...and then there's Leontine...
what the fuck is her story? Is she also a sociopath? Her obsession, her mannerisms...I don't know...but I fucking loved it.

Excerpt
SOCIOPATH
It's not even a kiss anymore. It's jumping off a building. It's a coke binge. A single slash to the throat. Kissing Leo is like perpetual suicide; I die in her mouth over and over, my hips smacking into hers with all the force of the fall.
When I pull away, her lips are swollen and pink, the skin around her mouth rubbed sore from my stubble. Too busy just looking at her, I loosen my hold on her braid. She hunches forward and hides her face in my shoulder; there, she takes slow breaths and murmurs to herself, trying to come back from an edge she didn't know was there.
"I didn't think it would be like that," she whispers.
"It never has been," I tell her, my voice hoarse. "It never is."

Author Bio
I like dysfunction. Broken people who can't fix each other, but fit together because they're missing the same pieces. One of my favourite songs declares, "take the sinner down to feed desire," and that's my MO. I write dirty psychological thrillers with strong elements of dark romance.
I love antiheroes. Female characters who don't just accept their faults, but downright exploit them. No nice boys. No shame. Mindfuckery for all.
