~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~
CHRIST ON A CRACKER was this book good. Like seriously, SO f-cking good! The writing was fantastic. It was very well paced. The plot was super engaging. It was told in a dual POV format. There were twists and turns. Secrets. Intrigue. Mystery. Danger. It was smokin' hot. I LOVED the setting (New Orleans). Last, it ended in a shocking twist of a cliffhanger that I thought I saw coming (and I am STILL a little convinced I have some of it figured out) but left my mind totally f-cked. 


~HERO~
LINCOLN..Good lord was this guy SEXY. Who doesn't love a broody dirty cop who does bad things? I am fairly sure my tablet melted a few times. He was alpha. He was an a$$hole. He was all about Avery from the start. His character was an enigma wrapped in a mystery, and I can't wait to see what this author has in store for Lincoln in the next book.


~HEROINE~
AVERY...Avery was more of an open book with regard to her character. Probably because we get more of her history and it is heartbreaking, to say the least. I loved Avery. She was feisty. She was strong. She was smart. She seemed to be a genuinely nice person. She had the hots for Sergeant Asher right from the start. I am looking forward to seeing what she gets up to in the next book as well.


 

~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~
This book was pretty light on secondary characters. I really liked Avery's roommate though and hope we get to see more of her in the next book. Other than some baddies and random people she was pretty much it as this is a main character driven story.


~HEAT LEVEL~
Highish. There were quite a few smokin' hot sex scenes in this one. A little voyeurism. I suspect we may see even more kink in book two (I hope). And this couple has AMAZING on page chemistry.


~ANGST LEVEL - SEXUAL HISTORIES~
Fairly low. I didn't find this one particularly angsty, to be honest. It was pretty insta-lust and there really wasn't much push or pull from either the hero or heroine. My one little issue was that Avery is a 25-year-old virgin (gaaah)

~IN THE END~
I LOVED it. So much in fact that I am not even going to deduct any stars for the whole “virgin” annoyance. (lol) Fantastic writing. Fast paced. Intriguing plot. Interesting and well-developed characters. Hot sex scenes. Not much left for me to say about this one. Bring on book two!
