ARC received via Netgalley for an honest reviewThis book starts with what appears to be two spoiled rich kids living life in the lap of luxury, it soon becomes apparent however that this is not actually the case. Appearances can be deceptive and and money can't buy happiness. These two things become very apparent the more the story evolves. There are many things to like about this book, the characters are well-written, know what they want and go for it. They have major issues but in all honesty, who in this day and age can honestly say that they have absolutely none? When you find out what the characters have been through previously though it really is no wonder they have issues, its probably more surprising they're as well adjusted as they actually are. Warner and Taddy meet purely by chance and have some fun together, however their time together soon ends but neither can forget the other, until the inevitable happens and they meet again although not under the greatest of circumstances Warner manages to manipulate the situation in order to spend some time with Taddy and win her over. I did have a few issues with the book, one being the fact that after spending very little time together they were not only declaring their love but planning a life together. Another issue I had was some of the description in the book, I get that its erotica but some of it was just going too far in my opinion. Far from being a turn on it was just slightly nasty and not in a good way either. The other thing I would've preferred to be slightly different would've been the fact that although they get together, you hardly see any of the actual relationship between Taddy and Warner, other than them sexing it up their interaction was pretty minimalist and I really think if it'd been explored in a bit more depth it would've been great. This book isn't for the faint hearted but certainly has its own appeal. I'm giving it three stars as as much as I didn't hate it I didn't fall in love with it either, it has very definite potential but as this point in time it just isn't a favourite of mine.
