2.5 stars

After arguing with myself for a couple of minutes now, I decided to go for a review.

I didn't know a thing about the book before I started reading, so I didn't have any expectations whatsoever... BUT I had problems getting into the story right at the beginning.

The setup was too unrealstic for me - Yes, yes, this is fiction, I know (I can almost hear the protests rushing my way) but I need to be able to imagine that this could actually happen and I simply couldn't. That alone put me off a little right from the start.

When a book holds a warning that it "contains a bitchy female that curses like a sailor [...] and explicit hot sex in some very public places.", well then that's what it should contain but I didn't find much of show more that.

Yes, Jaxx is a bitch (albeit a likeable one) but I've heard/read people cussing a lot worse (and maybe that should make me reconsider my book choices), so it didn't warrant a warning for me.

Next comes the sex and I don't quite know what to say because I found it a bit boring and thus skipped many of the sex scenes.

The story certainly had potential and I really liked Jaxx, she was different from the usual heroine and amazingly outspoken/blunt. Connor however annoyed the hell out of me as he was too exaggerated for my taste.

I don't want to knock this (because most of us realize how much work authors put into their books), however there's not much more good I can find at this point - it simply wasn't my cup of tea and I had troubles warming up to it. So give it a try and see for yourself if it's something that you might enjoy :). show less

This one wasn’t overly well written, the characters were over-drawn, the story was kind of a cheesy and unbelievable cinderella-type of thing with plot holes as big as an eighteenwheeler.
BUT: it was entertaining. Also kudos to the female character for not falling into plot-cliches when confronted with relationship-phobic Alpha-male.
I loved the author’s other book which was written later than this one, I assume, so I am looking forward to her new books.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the fire between the main characters. They were both broken in so many ways, but together they were whole again.
There were a lot of unbelievable parts, but hey, it's fiction!
Would love to see more from this author.

I wish we could give half stars, cause it really is a 4.5**** for me.
Against a tree in the woods, against the wall in a restaurant bathroom, the shower, the bedroom, and tied up on a bed twice...ummmmm need I say more!?!? Jaxxon and Connor might be 2 of my favorite hot, take no sh*t, sarcastic, tell it like it is characters. Oh and if I didn't give it away before, this book was HOT!!!

This was an ok book. I liked all the characters, however the typos, spelling and grammatical errors were really bad!!! I also hated how much drama there was, but very VERY little payback. I don't know, I wanted to like this book much more than I actually did.

I liked how British it was but the story wasnt strong enough for me...
