“I feel like I’ve waiting my whole life for you,” he’d murmured.
WOAH!!! This was easily one of the most ADDICTIVE books I’ve read. It kept me guessing the whole way through. I was so sure that I’d figured out the big twist, but then the ending surprised me yet again!! I absolutely love it when a book can do that. It’s a true sign of really great writing!
I read the whole book, cover to cover, in one sitting. I was just literally glued to my kindle all afternoon, unable to stop flipping pages. The story is simultaneously SEXY, erotic, and mysterious. There’s a strong romance, a complex plot, and fantastic writing. I went in totally blind. I didn’t know a single thing abut this story other than the blurb and I strongly recommend that you do the same. Just dive right in!
As such, this review will be completely spoiler free!
I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.
I also hadn’t got laid in three years. Hadn’t been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup… a while ago.
Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He flipped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my heart I thought was dead.
The issue is his secret.
The issue is her.
The issue is that I don’t even know she exists, and he thinks she’s dead.
The issue is that shit is about to hit the fan and I can’t hold on to him tight enough.
This was the kind of book where, from the moment I started it, I was hooked, intrigued, and drawn in by the story. The writing practically begs you to keep turning the page.
The twist was elusive and danced just outside of my grasp. I love it when both characters and stories have such layers and depth to them. Complex characters with secrets are some of my favorites and Brett was especially intriguing. He was such an enigma — a perfectly put together business man with scarred knuckles, no history but no warning lights either, he was both intense but gentlemanly and…. well… you’ll see the other reasons why. I really feel like it’s better for you to just discover it as you go.
Without saying too much, I’ll just let you know that if you’re one of those readers who is worried this is a love triangle, then just trust me and try it anyways. I promise that all is not as it seems.
This is one of those books where I just want to suggest that you don’t even ask questions about it, don’t go looking for details or answers, don’t try to find out any more than the blurb. Just dive right in and let the story happen. Trust me. There are some books whose stories I like to “set up” for you guys, other stories where I feel the need to include hidden optional spoilers for things I feel it’s best to know in advance, and then there are a select few (like this one) where my honest opinion is that if you’re going to read the book, just GO for it without knowing anything. Some stories are stronger that way, and this is one of those.
I absolutely recommend it!
“I told you, this doesn’t have to be anything.
“Or,” he shrugged, stepping forward, his mouth pressing softly against my cheek… “It could be the start of everything.”
Rating: 4.5 stars. Standalone Adult romance w/a twist.
