Behind the Tears Behind the Lives Marita A Hansen 9781482003246 Books

Betrayal places one Rata brother against the other but at a time like this they have no choice but to trust one another, for both their lives depend on it.

Secrets...
Ash Rata and his younger brother Dante are drug dealers in Auckland, New Zealand. This lifestyle is not by choice it's more so by circumstance.

When Ash the oldest Rata brother keeps holding back with his girlfriend Beth she looses her cool. His step-father's parole hearing is rapidly approaching and with it dark deep emotions are rising. And him internalizing it all makes matters worse. Not many know about what happened to him...

With Ash holding back Beth is being pushed further and further away... Out of the hands of Ash and right in to Dante's arms.

Dante has his own secrets and demons. Scarred emotionally by women he has once loved in the past Dante fears that love is not for him. When he crosses the line with his brothers girlfriend he feels shame.

Problem is he wants Beth with a raw hunger so passionate it overtakes his senses. Dante realizes he loves her, but he loves his brother more. Not to be discarded Beth is in hot pursuit for Dante. It's not just the HOT BLAZIN SEX she is after either, nope, she wants his heart.

Sledge is the youngest Rata brother his best mate Corey has been fighting Cancer. Sledge has no idea that Corey is gay and madly in love with him. When Corey finally fesses up Sledge has a very difficult time placing his own feelings for Corey.
He loves Corey but is it as a mate or as a lover?

While love plays a big part in this book Danger has a strong role as well.

Chaz is so messed up in the head it makes no sense. The guy should be in a psych ward.
In a padded cell...
Wearing a straight jacket...
Heavily sedated...

Thoughts
Book two in the Behind The Lives series focuses in on the Rata brothers whom we are briefly introduced to in book one. And then are introduced even better to in Graffiti Heaven. Altho it's their younger selves the appeal is still strong.
This book was just as much of an emotional roller-coaster as the first. I enjoyed getting the multiple POV's. This is a signature style of writing for the author and I ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY LOVE IT! I felt like I was right there watching everything play out right in front of my eyes.

Dear readers,
I love this series it sucks you in and spits you out. It tackles just about every subject love, lies, betrayal, family, drugs, suicide, homosexuality, rape and I'm sure I left out a few more topics. Read it! I highly recommend it.

My Ratings

Writing Style- Intense, Raw and Solid

Behind the Tears Behind the Lives Marita A Hansen 9781482003246 Books Reviews

Wonderful book. The characters are so vivid and unforgettable. This is the story of three Rata brothers and their sister Juliet. I adored the Rata brothers, Ash, Dante, and Sledge. Dante is a force to be reckoned with, completely mesmerizing. Ash is broken and tormented but a survivor. Sledge is finding his own way with the help of his buddy Corey. Corey is so damn adorable and funny. I loved him with Sledge! I also loved Juliet, I'm rooting big time for her to find love. Unfortunately I didn't like Beth so I won't say anything else about her, lol.

Basically this book is filled with a wonderful cast of characters and an engaging and exciting story. Highly recommend!
As with the first two novels by Marita A. Hansen, I found myself becoming emotionally involved with these characters right from the very first chapter. It was easy to forget I was reading a novel of fiction rather than following the chaotic lives of real people. Her characters came across gut-wrenchingly real to this reader and forced me to keep turning those pages until long past my bedtime, not just because I found myself interested in what might happen, but because I `HAD' to know. My only reason for dropping the score from five stars to four was the tendency to have minor characters unable to keep secrets. I found myself questioning a few areas concerning this, which unfortunately took me out of the action. This is probably a personal issue and might not bother many other readers. It wasn't enough to interfere with my overall enjoyment. It is not an easy read in that life is tough and not always fair. I believe Behind the Tears offers a realistic view into how people can find themselves trapped into a drug, violence, and gang related lifestyle. Definitely worth the reasonable price I paid for my copy and a story I know I'll read again in the future.
I read this book within three hours and for the life of me I could not put it down, this series is so addicting.

One word that defines this book is intense. The whole thing was shockingly intense that if was not for Dante's weird sense of humour and Corey, I would be in a ball somewhere crying my eyes out right now.

I felt a boat load of emotions reading this book but I wouldn't trade it for the world, it is a great story that is part of a great series and it definitely worth the money I paid for it.
Absolutely fantastic!
I'm complete obsessed with this series. These books are just so raw. I love the multiple POV's in the stories and how they all tie in together perfectly.

This series is fast paced and jam packed full of drama, violence, sex and POV changes, which won't appeal to everyone so.... You've been warned.

Even though you can safely start this series from book two. I would recommend starting from book one which was amazing.
