For starters, I will say that this book was a pleasant surprise. When I read the synopsis I thought it was going to be another dom/sub 50 Shades type book. It wasn't at all.Breck is an 'alpha' male, brooding, dark, but has a heart of gold that I loved.Emma, innocent virgin, God fearing bred, typical savior type. What I liked about her was her determination and independence. Although naive, and innocent per say, she wasn't meek, or a push over. She was pretty fierce.It was a strong attraction at first sight book, and by that I thought I was going to be a quick to love and sex thing too. Not at all. The relationship grew and I loved that!What I wasn't very fond of. First, there was too much drama going on. It bordered or overkill, just when I thought they were through their 'big conflict' something else would happen... Then something after that. It almost seemed never ending.Second, and this may be small to some, but, I have enough tattoos to know how it works and was a little put off by this. Breck surprises Emma by setting up a tattoo appointment for her, he says he paid the guy a ton of money to travel so he could do her tattoo. He takes her to a friends house (first no no, but not unheard of) and the tattooist who is supposed to be top notch at his craft is drinking. No. Never have I gotten tattooed by an artist who was drinking that is supposed to be great. Then, as if that's not bad enough, they give her a shot to numb her a bit before he starts. Any self respecting tattooist wouldn't have done that. Alcohol thins your blood, tattooists won't work on anyone who has been drinking! Get it right and don't give tattoo artists a bad name by making them out to be careless slobs.Those are the only things that really annoyed me. Other than that, the book was a page turner and made me LOL a few times. I enjoyed every hour I spent reading it.
