Review Originally Posted at: Book FreakMonica had been a late bloomer. After suffering from a dark, painful past that had left her overweight, and shy – at thirty, she had just started to REALLY live her life. And life is about to surprise her as she encounters ex-military Victor in a Tampa bar. One look, and chemistry was already brewing, the sexual tension was already thick. This sexy, mysterious, and incredibly talented in bed man had just turned her life upside down. There’s a catch though…“Please don’t fall in love with me, Monica. I’ll give you what I can, but I am afraid it can’t be enough.”It was the warning he kept on repeating from the first time that they were together. There was something he wasn’t telling her. But at least, he was honest enough to tell her where they stand, and now I wonder – what might that be? Speculations would rise in my brain as I continue to read the novel, and none of it were pretty.Nevertheless, he gave Monica an experience of a lifetime with new and exciting things he teaches and allowed her to do. He breaks her comfort zone and let her explore the things he liked, which she embraced as well.She is one hot high school teacher who captured my heart with her strength and determination to surpass what happened to her in the past, and for a while there, I wanted her to have the best, to have the man who is hers alone and will love her indefinitely.He might have been a hellion in bed and can give her multiple orgasms, but she deserves for than that. He had been selfish, and it took him a while, and caused her some pain before he realized what he did and finally made a decision I never thought he would. The wait was over, and he was finally going to chose – a past that had left him scarred or a present that completes him?I wanted to go inside the novel and somehow beat the hell out of Victor at one point. He was a bit selfish, and he wants a win-win situation without a REAL thought for those people involve. I was almost going to hate him, I was nearly there – until he finally gave his decision which allowed me to breathe fully. Finally, he came into his senses. You can’t have everything – something’s got to give, and it is up to you to chose what you want to go, or stay in your life.Be ready to get burned.To sum it all up, FIRE IN HIS EYES: It’s hot, it’s steamy, it’s frustrating, it’s sweet, it’s romantic, and it’s kinky.✪Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.✪
