REVIEW

I just met Ethan Blackstone….and he was lovely!

“Right now I just wanted to be wanted. Ethan wanted me.”

This was a quick and sexy read! I enjoyed it for the most part. I definitely think it lacked some character development at the beginning, but I found it sexy and intriguing. I had a hard time connecting to the characters emotionally at first, but by the end of the book I was almost there. I’m really counting on the next book All In to tell me a little more about Ethan and Brynne and their back stories.

I was looking for a story with rich, dominant, swoon worthy male character and that’s just what I got. I was suffering from Fifty and Crossfire withdrawals and this fed the craving just a little bit. I'll admit that it is similar to a lot of the other books out there, but I think it stood on its own.

The ending really saved this one for me. It was sitting at a solid 3-3.5 stars until the end. It’s a short read (I read it in just about 2 hours), so it’s definitely worth the wait to get to the ending if the rest of the series pans out the way I’m hoping it will. I haven’t read the last two books yet, but I’ll keep you posted. I’m one of a few out there that haven’t read this series, so this is for the readers that are late to the party like me!

MY RATING: 4 Stars!
