Too Late
by Colleen Hoover
Too Late is quite different to what I typically read, but I really enjoyed it.
I soon found myself immersed in Sloan’s messed up world. She’s a likeable character. Caught in a seemingly impossible situation, sacrificing her own happiness, and safety even, in the belief that at least she’s keeping her brother safe and comfortable in the facility he needs. I can’t see any reason why she would be with someone like Asa otherwise. What a nasty piece of work he is. However, as the story progresses you can sort of understand him a bit better. You could never condone any of his behaviour but it’s easier to understand how he turned out the way he is.
Enter Carter and Sloan’s world is turned completely upside down. The chemistry between them is off the charts, but both of their situations make it extremely difficult for them to just run off into the sunset to be together.
A captivating read which I found to be heart-wrenching and disturbing in equal measure.
Sloan will go through hell and back for those she loves. And she does so, every single day. Caught up with the alluring Asa Jackson, a notorious drug trafficker, Sloan has finally found a lifeline to cling to, even if it’s meant compromising her morals. She was in dire straits trying to pay for her brother’s care until she met Asa. But as Sloan became emotionally and economically reliant on him, he in turn developed a disturbing obsession with her – one that becomes increasingly dangerous every day.
When undercover DEA agent Carter enters the picture, Sloan’s surprised to feel an immediate attraction between them, despite knowing that if Asa finds out, he will kill him. And Asa has always been a step ahead of everyone in his life, including Sloan. No one has ever gotten in his way.
No one except Carter.
Together, Sloan and Carter must find a way out before it’s too late . . .
