This is one of those books, you can tell from the very beginning exactly how it's going to play out.  I found it to be overly predictable.  There were no twists that had me on the edge of my seat, and no developments that kept me anticipating. I just found this to be a boring read. One that I'm surprised I even finished. The personalities seemed juvenile to me (as did the plot and entire story) and I felt little to no character development.  I felt no closeness to any of them. I'm usually a great sucker for an alpha male, but I just seemed as if they were trying too hard to make him come across as a total bad*ss. It just didn't work for me. The insta-love rarely does in my opinion. Lucas (the supposed alpha), continually speaking in broken English/caveman grammar, got old fast. Some alpha males (example.....any Kristen Ashley alpha) come across hot being dominate and speaking direct demanding three word sentences, but with Lucas, I kept thinking, what the hell is wrong with him???  It just didn't work. I never got the hot/sexy vibe from his character.  I started to think of him as having a mental disorder in addition to being bossy/demanding to someone he just met but of course loves. I never pictured him as a swoon worthy alpha male.  And Lexie, our heroine, oh dear god. Annoying and naive are the 2 best words I can think of to describe her. I found her beyond irritating the entire time.  I did want to like this story, and think the story line had a lot of potential. The execution just didn't work for me. It felt as if it were written by a teenager. I never once felt a connection to any part of this story, or the characters while reading this book.  :(How much did I pay: .99Would I recommend: no
