A story about the lengths we go for love...

"What happens when a girl from a cult catches the eye of a strong, dangerous fighter? I loved this passionate story of a woman on the run and a man who is totally freaking obsessed with her." – Annika Martin, New York Times bestselling author

Another rundown apartment. Another job that pays cash. Every new city it becomes harder to hide but I can't stop running.

There are two men after me...
One wants to save my soul. The other wants to claim my body.

Part of me wants Luca to catch me, even knowing what he's capable of. An enforcer. A fighter. The only language he speaks is violence.

How far will he go to find me?
What will he do once he does?

A wild glance over my shoulder. The shadows are moving.
I'm about to find out.

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH can be read as a standalone! It includes characters introduced in the Stripped series, so if you strongly prefer to read from the beginning, you can one-click Tough Love for free!

I don't know how it's even possible but for some reason I didn't know there was a fifth book in the Stripped series so I didn't get around to buying and reading it until recently. This is my favorite series by Skye Warren and this book confirms it yet again. 

I really enjoyed To the Ends of the Earth. It was a very quick read and it had just the right tempo for me. It wasn't rushed like some shorter books tend to be and the romance was so amazing. And gosh, how I loved Beth and Luca. They're my second favorite couple from the series (the first being Ivan and Candy).

This is the story of Beth formerly known as Sarah Elizabeth who grew up living in a cult. Now she's on the run with her one-year-old daughter from two men. One wants to save her soul, the other wants to claim her body, like the synopsis says. 

The scenes between Beth and Luca we're pretty heavy with chemistry but nothing actually happened until 70% of the book. I guess there could've been a little more sexy scenes but considering what happened to Beth in the cult I thought it was all written pretty well. Luca definitely didn't want to rush into things with Beth, no matter how much he wanted her and I liked him for that. And I loved how sweet Luca was with Beth's daughter. There definitely was the 'awww' factor with them.

Overall, To the Ends of the Earth by Skye Warren was a sweet and sexy story. It can be read as a standalone but as always I would recommend you to start from the beginning, starting with Tough Love.

EXCERPT:

His growl makes the hair on my neck stand up.

“You’re not going anywhere.” He flicks the bathroom light on, revealing the gruesome spray of blood across his face. I cry out at the gash over his eye, the long ridge of dried blood along his chest. He looks like a gladiator after a long-drawn-out battle in the arena.
And he didn’t just manage to escape. He must have killed those men. That’s the only way he could have managed to leave that parking lot. All those lives on my head.
More pain. More death. No matter how fast I run, I can’t seem to escape it.
“I don’t understand,” I whisper. “Why me?”
In the world he comes from there are a hundred beautiful women. Women who know how to wear pretty dresses and put on makeup. Women who know how to please a man as rough as Luca. Candace used to live in Harmony Hills with me. She was the first person to ever get out alive. And she turned herself into a siren, someone who could command men with a single flick of her perfectly manicured nail. She did it to prove that she could. And I…well, I can’t. I haven’t even been able to cut my long hair.
He steps close, and I’m suddenly more aware of my naked tummy, my breasts covered only by a single layer of fabric. My chest rises and falls with heavy, panicked breaths.
“You captured me, little bird.” He trails a blunt finger down my temple, lifting a long blonde lock. It looks pale and silky against his scarred fingertip. “I follow you for the same reason you run.”
