Review-Forgiving Gia by Gina Whitney

Book Title –Forgiving Gia Author – Gina Whitney Publisher –  Gina Whitney ISBN/ASIN - Genre –  Abel Gunner is a rock-star with legendary skills both in and out of the bedroom. He swore he wouldn't fall for another woman after being schemed and manipulated by an ex-lover. He kept that vow until he met Gia Mastro. The Dom inside of him awoke the moment he set eyes upon the submissive beauty. His dark soul hungered for her submission and affection. The deep connection they share leaves him desperate for something he never expected – her love. Her pain brings him the pleasure he craves. Her smile calms the beast that rages within him. Gia loves Abel more than life itself, but Abel is disillusioned by love and wrecks Gia in the process. Her life hangs in the balance. His life depends on forgiving her. This couple must face many truths. Is love enough to overcome the damage that dwells within? Gia’s experiences with love have been nil until meeting the infamous bad-boy rocker, Abel Gunner. Swept up in a mind-bending, Dom/submissive love affair, she’s forced to make decisions that both help and hurt their relationship. They both have to face their demons before they can embrace a future together. In the end, they’re faced with two choices: Fight for their love, or die with their demons.

I grew up reading Judy Blume, and Nancy Drew books. I was raised in the town of North Valley Stream, New York(Long Island), and attended community college for fashion design. At 19 years old I opened a boutique. Recently, I published my second and third novel Beautiful Lies and Saving Abel. Forgiving Gia, which is the follow to Saving Abel, will be out early fall. When I'm not writing, you can find me with friends and family. I live in Massapequa, NY with my two beautiful boys PJ and Drew, and our Mastiff Hercules. Reading has always been a passion and obsession. You can usually find me typing furiously while shouting obscenities over my latest WIP. My guilty pleasures are: a good laugh, being snarky, espresso, Pistachio ice-cream, alternative music, sunflower seeds, I.P.A's, twizzlers, and above all steamy swooning angst filled novels. I'm pathologically obsessed with True Blood(Eric ;), Games of Thrones, White Queen, Vampire Diaries, Resurrection, and The Originals. If you'd like to chat. Hit me up on Facebook or twitter

Disclaimer: It doesn't bother me nor would it have stopped me from reading, but there are some f bombs. It is part of the characters' personalities, but if you are easily offended just beware.
Gina Whitney has done it again! In her follow-up to Saving Abel it picks up right where it left off. They are both in their own special kinds Hell separately and she takes you on a ride. You get pulled into and up onto the wild ride that is Abel & Gia's Dom/Sub relationship. They each have their own issues they need to work through like trust, addiction, mental, a "Medusa", a "psycho cancer" ex, and a possible mole within the Lethal Abel crew. They struggle to wade through the crap that is life and come out on the other side stronger for it.
There are some hot hot hot scenes that leave you trying to hang on to just the edge of your seat for the ride and wow what a ride they are if you manage! All in all a good follow up to Saving Abel. Looking forward to the next one.
