Still struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she’s known about Kayden Wilkens—the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an alleyway a month earlier. But was he truly a stranger—or did Kayden know her before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.
Review
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I definitely need to read more books by this author!
Demand is the sequel to Denial and picks up where Denial left off.
Ella is still hot sure whether or not she can trust Kayden but after everything they have been through she at least knows that he is not the man in her memories, the man who hurt her. She is still struggling to remember but she is not alone anymore. Kayden is trying to help her remember and in the meantime making new memories with her. I really liked that even though Kayden wants to keep Ella as she is he’s still doing everything in his power to give a face to the man in Ella’s memories.
Even though we do find out his identity in this book, Demand is not about him as much as Denial was. The book focuses on Ella. There are so many things going on; we get deeper into Kayden’s life and the Underground, we learn about his enemies and some of the things Kayden has done but we also get to connect with Ella’s past as well.
The mystery many have been solved but Ella’s journey if far from over. What will Kayden do with the information Ella has provided him with and what does that mean for their relationship? How far is Kayden willing to go to protect her? We will have to wait and see in the third and final installment in the series, Surrender.

Excerpt
Crossing behind the couch toward the kitchen, I find myself remembering those naked, intimate moments with Kayden only a short time ago. The passion. The trust I’d felt for him. And then his words: “We both want more. Until we don’t.” The words send a surge of adrenaline and nerves through my body.
The scent of freshly brewed coffee teases my nostrils as I reach the kitchen, where I immediately find Kayden standing behind the island. But it’s not him that makes my heart lurch, as usual. It’s my gun that’s lying on the counter between us.
And when I should perhaps step backward I find myself charging forward to claim the other side of the counter.
“What is that for?”
“You thought you needed it earlier,” he says. “I want you to have it now.”
My fingers curl on the tiled counter. “Do I need it?”
“That’s for you to decide.”
“That isn’t the answer I want.”
His jaw sets hard. “If you’re expecting an answer you’ll want, you’d better pick up that gun.”
We stare at each other, a push and pull between us that has nothing to do with fear or intimidation, and everything to do with a bond we both know is being tested. “I know what you’re doing.”
“What am I doing?”
“The same thing you did outside that church, when you helped me hold the gun to your chest.”
“Which is what?”
“Offering me the façade of control.”
“You holding a loaded gun on me in no way equals a façade.”
“I know you now,” I counter. “You don’t give up control, even when you say you are.”
He rests his hands on the counter, one turned just enough for me to catch a glimpse of the hawk inked on his wrist, its wings spread, the mark of a man whose rules of many must dictate his actions. “There are two sides to this coin,” he says, his words drawing my attention, his pale blue eyes piercing mine. “The me with you, and the me with everyone else.”
“We barely knew each other at the church.”
“I’d already decided you were mine. You just didn’t know it yet.”
