Review: 4.5 Stars for Me....
Rating: 5 out of 5

CONTAINS SPOILERS ***************************I'm giving this 4.5 stars.I picked this one out to read because it was compared to Kristen Ashley.What I can say is that yes, if you are looking for a KA feel to a story, this book is for you.What I did NOT like about this book (but as you can see it didn't make it totally suck for me) is a couple things.1) The hero kind of crossed the line from Alpha to D*ck pretty easy. To the point, where I was like....um exxxsqqqueeezzzeeee me Alpha love of my life? Did you just say that? To me, our Alpha's need to come across as extreme....but not to the point where he calls our heroine a bitch because of a misunderstanding....one that, honestly, wasn't bad.....2) The author tended to make things that weren't a big deal into a ...well... big of deal (see # 1), leaving the reader wondering what just happened.3) The heroine's issues. Yes, I get it, she has had man issues and is hard to trust, but DAMN GINA! she just acted dumb. She would go over and over in her head how she just met the hero less than 2 days ago, but then get upset when he takes a phone call and leaves without telling her who it was. I'm sorry, but if you're worried and convincing yourself that the relationship isn't important because it's been less than 2 days, than what the hell is to you when he leaves and says he'll contact you later. Really? It was things like this that refer back up to my #2.4) The mini story that ran along side everything and ALL of a sudden 2 weird phone calls the hero took turned out he had some lady on the side that went psycho on him and he had her committed. I mean, maybe if it ran along in a similar way to Fifty's story and his crazy ex sub, I would get it, but the way this happened it was just sprung on us with no real leading up to it. Not bad, just confusing.5) I'm giving the heroine's issues another number, because that's how much she bothered me. Seriously, she didn't even convince herself how much she loved the hero until she took the bullet for him. I mean, so much internal dialogue of back and forth, it's too soon, it's not too soon, he likes me but doesn't love me, he wants me, but takes phone calls, he breathes, he poops, blah blah blah, I mean I just wish she wasn't so wishy washy. It was done to that point where it was just nails on a chalk board after a while. You can do the wishy washy heroine, but even those women make up their mind soon enough to not affect the story...at least to me.So would I recomment this, YES! No cheating, Alpha Male (no tats, but hey - in my head, he had a few) and similar to Kristen Ashley. It had its funny parts too.
