So this one was just OK for me. There wasn't anything majorly offputting about it. I mean I obviously must have liked something about it since I kept reading. (lol) That said, there were a bunch of small issues that kept me from rating it higher. I'll get into those in a bit, but first, the writing was quite decent. It was easy to read and well paced. The overall plot was enjoyable, mainly thanks to Charlotte who I thought was a strong heroine (apart from one small detail). Rhys on his own was also a very likable hero. He was sexy. Alpha. However, for being Scottish he had ZERO accent which was disappointing. The sex was suitably hot, and there were a handful of intriguing secondary characters.



On to the issues...Lisa (the fuck buddy)...sigh...the crazy cliché OW whose whole existence seemed pointless and unoriginal.


Carrying on...I also had issues with the “romance” or rather, lack thereof. These two don't even get started until 50% through the book, and then we take off like a bat out of hell. I just never felt much of a connection between them. In fact, I felt she had more of a connection with Micheal her friend than she did with the hero. The final two issues I had were, it was beyond obvious (and a little farfetched ) what the secret would be. I mean, it was kind of ridiculous that Charlotte, a woman who built her own company, wouldn't have done research before accepting that offer. Last, the ending was SO abrupt that I was sure I must be missing pages from my review copy?

So ya, a very mixed bag with this one...
