My rating = A flip-floppity Five!!

The Blurb

Who is Sebastian Lock?

Sophia had never felt attraction like that before. Raw. Electric. Irresistible. Swept off her feet by the dashing, enigmatic billionaire Sebastian Lock, she was taken on a journey of self-discovery, taken to places she never dreamed she’d go.

But things are never as simple as they appear. Sophia’s trust is a fragile thing, and Sebastian seems insistent on testing it. He has his own demons to battle, and nobody has brought them to the fore like she has.

As their relationship deepens, and Sophia begins to break down his walls, all that greets her are more questions. Why is Sebastian fighting so hard to keep her at a distance? Who is the girl on the background of his phone? And why does the strange tattoo on his chest seem so familiar?

These puzzles plague her, but as Sebastian’s mysteries begin to unravel, she must face an entirely different truth. Staying in the dark may be painful, but finding the answers could be deadly

My Review

This is book two in The Alpha Group series.

In the first scintillating book Locked, we were left with a cliffhanger ending where Sophia sees the picture on Sebastian’s phone, leading her to walk out on him and their arrangement. I loved that this then brought them to the next step in their journey and we find a chip in Sebastian’s demeanour, showing his softer side. The scene outside Sophia’s house was a “flippity-flop” moment for me, to see how scared and desperate Sebastian was. Le sighs.

So with the ‘arrangement’ back on the relationship developed deeper and things stepped up to another level but like all alpha men, this had Sebastian withdrawing again leading to Sophia taking drastic action which again pushed Sebastian to reveal more of his history in order for her to understand. And what a history – I wasn't expecting that but it gave more depth to the story and pulled you in further, wanting to understand this gorgeous, dominant man. When he reveals where he is from, it just gave me another reason to push Mr Lock further up the Lush List. Oh and he can dance? Hell yeah!

But underneath all this hot action was an entirely different story – just simmering under the storyline, the darkness was waiting to swoop right on in and throw a curveball to all the love fests we were being entertained with. So more questions arose – what exactly was the business that Sebastian and his colleagues were in? What was the meaning of the tattoo? What was the link to the British Politician and his death? 

As with the first book we are left with another cliffhanger but this time it had the element of danger entangled and how would it end for Sophia? 

Lock Out has been another amazing spellbinding edition of this fantastic series which I have thoroughly enjoyed so far. All will all be resolved in the final book Unlocked which is out now. 

I highly recommend this series, brilliant!
