Review: Not enough for me to love it
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 4, 2014
Daly and (Jeremiah) Copeland crashed, burned, and destroyed each other 3 years ago. Now fate has brought them back together, but if they're really playing for keeps this time, they're going to have to overcome some serious obstacles. They don't trust each other, but the fire of their lust (and apparently love) still burns hot enough to make the devil sweat.I had to take a little while to think about this book after I finished it, because I didn't know how to rate and review it. Here's a breakdown of what I've decided:The sex was pretty good (not amazing, but not boring), but for a supposedly BDSM story, there was very little actual BDSM. There was some power exchange, a little restraining and spanking, but that was just about it. Or at least that's all I remember.Daly and Copeland annoyed me horribly. I wanted to bash their heads together several times and scream at them both to grow up, get over the past, and stop acting so childish. Copeland wasn't as bad as Daly, though. She was infuriating at times. Copeland didn't annoy me like that until near the end, I think, at which point all I could do was put my Kindle down and say, "Oh no he didn't!" (along with some more "colorful" expletives following that sentiment).I just couldn't bring myself to like and really care about Jeremiah and Daly, and found myself more interested in some of the other characters (like Candace, Toby, and Ruthie)The writing wasn't bad, but there were things that bothered me. Copeland and Daly "growled" a lot, or "bit out" words. A few more descriptive terms would have helped. Also, the overuse of single word sentences to emphasize a statement became distracting after a while ("Tell. Me." was used more than once, for example, as well as "To. Me.")I wanted to love this book, but I'm having a hard time even liking it right now. To be fair, I'm in an odd reading mood and I can see that, so I'm rating it based on a system that helped me look at the story rationally. Overall, it was good and I might recommend it to someone who enjoys drama, light BDSM, and a little mystery tied in with their erotica.I received a free copy of this for review from NetGalley
