Synopsis
A spoiled rich girl. A dark, mysterious man. A love that should never be.
Charla Krauss has always led a charmed life, always done what was expected of her. Now that her father is pushing her to commit to a man she doesn’t love, she’s looking for a way out. She just never thought it would lead her to East Sinclair, a man she should never want.
But she does. Desperately.
East Sinclair has a past, one he’s not proud of. And he’s made it his mission to never get close to anyone again. Yet he’s drawn to the gorgeous Charla in a way he’s never been drawn to anyone before.
When lies are exposed and hidden truths come to light, both Charla and East must face their demons. Will they be strong enough to get past the hurt? Or will the shattered illusion of their reality keep them apart?

I cannot begin to say how much I absolutely loved this book. Lisamarie's books always make me forget the real world around me when I open them up and Shattered Illusion did just that. East and Charla are this amazing couple that have to each maneuver through their own issues in order for anything to work between them. They are from two completely different worlds.

I cannot begin to say how much I absolutely loved this book. Lisamarie's books always make me forget the real world around me when I open them up and Shattered Illusion did just that. East and Charla are this amazing couple that have to each maneuver through their own issues in order for anything to work between them. They are from two completely different worlds.
Charla has had almost the perfect life. She has never wanted for anything because her father has always taken care of her. Now that she is older and making her own career she wants to pave her own path but he is having none of that. He is dead set on marrying her off to his potential replacement as mayor. The thing is, this man is not who her dad thinks he is and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
East could not be any more different from Charla. Sure, he has money as the owner of a successful strip club but his upbringing is nothing like Charla's. From the moment he sees her he is drawn to her. He knows he is not the man for her yet he cannot bring himself to stay away. Clearly he is a gluten for punishment.
Charla is so drawn to East even though she pretty much despises him unless in their intimate moments. Even with the hate she feels towards him she is equally drawn to him and finds herself running to him when she needs help. She cannot stay away from him, even when her best friend is telling her to, she just can't.
Once truths are out in the open and Charla breaks through East's walls they are unstopable. While completely insatiable for each other the entire time feelings actually get involved and I was there for it. The way East is with Charla and how he lets her worm her way into his heart....I LOVED IT! I will try to sit patiently waiting for the next book in the series but I must say the bar has been set high with East and Charla!!!
