Review: Levi’s Ultimatum – Eliza Gayle

Levi’s Ultimatum is book 2 in the Purgatory Masters series, Book 1 is Tucker’s Fall and is available now.

In search of someplace to belong…

Levi Hawkins was a typical fun loving, hard partying college student with his whole life in front of him — until one tragic night ripped his world apart and left him adrift with no home or family to return to. After a soul crushing stint in Afghanistan, he spent a decade wandering the globe searching for something or someone to make him whole again. Weary of regret and consumed by loneliness, he puts his heart on the line and turns to the only people still connected to him by blood.

He found an obsession…

A chance encounter at a lakeside café puts single mother Tori Ford directly in Levi’s path and he’s ready to stake a claim. She wants to keep her life simple. Work hard, raise her daughter, save some money and one day open the pie shop she’s always dreamed of. She doesn’t need complicated and she certainly doesn’t need a wickedly hot Dominant to take control of her future. Except when he touches her she yearns for the pleasure and passion of submission. But Tori can’t take another heartbreak and she can never trust Levi with her heart or her daughter if he won’t open up about the darkness slowly consuming him.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

The second installment in Eliza Gayle’s Purgatory Masters series Levi’s Ultimatum was a strong continuation of the story line from the first with it revolving around the very endearing Levi Hawkins. He easily made me melt with his attention and care for Hannah, the heroine Tori Ford’s daughter. Something about this strong man who has a past full of secrets but still takes time to color with a child just screamed perfect guy to me.

Tori is a great character because she’s a great mom. Watching her do whatever she needs for her child made her a very real character to me, and then watching her give up that control to Levi made her even stronger in my eyes. She has her own secrets and how they play out really added to the story.

There are so many secrets and little threads that I highly recommend reading the first book for full enjoyment. Ms. Gayle is excellent at keeping all those threads going and giving an amazing story of both intrigue and lustful romance. The descriptions in this story were so good that I found myself craving the delicious pies Tori made.

With more of a BDSM aspect that goes deeper than the first, this is definitely a hot BDSM novel that I will be keeping on my keeper shelf and going back to enjoy again and again.
