Once again, it appears I’m in the minority. I wasn’t wowed by this one with all its monotonous porn-like sexual encounters throughout. Most of it felt like page filler porn without adding anything positive to the storyline. For the late twenties and early thirties set, the immaturity level was off-balance and downright childish and juvenile.The book blurb and the cover attracted my attention to this one. But that’s just about where it ended. Oh, the male lead was physically appealing , and I found myself more drawn to him as the story went along until I hit the silliness continually playing out between him and Dylan, who I had expected to be a favorite character. She was not.I had a difficult time warming to Dylan, who drank and trash-talked more than her fair share. Her fetish for slapping Reese in the face every time she had a problem with him completely removed her from the radar. I don’t like physical abuse and this seemed over the line. I was also surprised that Reese didn’t seem to let it bother him – he either laughed it off or walked away. It seemed out-of-character for him.And once again, I ask the question: Why can’t these couples have a normal face-to-face conversation and resolve these ridiculously meaningless conflicts between each other? The major conflict here was pretty pathetic and overplayed. Communicate people!Although this one ended with a happy for now, Book Two, SWEET POSSESSION is scheduled for release in July 2014, and will complete Dylan and Reese’s story. To be quite honest, I was quite content with leaving the story here. Another book may be overkill.
