This is an amazing example of a romance novel done right. Hot alpha male…check. Feisty heroine…check. Smoking hot chemistry…check. Burn the pages sex scenes…double check. And all of that together with the roller coaster ride of getting to know and falling in love with someone and you’ve got the perfect book. I was immediately captivated by this book and Ryan and Bri. I loved them separately, but especially when they were together. The snarky back and forth bickering was fantastically entertaining, even when it was frustrating because all I wanted them to do was talk it out.I saw a lot of myself in Bri. She’s a mousy librarian who thinks a fun Friday night is curling up with a good book (me too, except the mousy librarian part, although I’ve always wanted to be a librarian). She has a betta fish that she loves and talks to (I so did that with both of mine until they died). There are quite a few moments in the book where she compares her situation to the books she reads (I’ve been known to do that). She also tended to jump to conclusions and take things out of context (yep, I’ve been known to do that too), which often led to the snarky bickering that really was so much fun to watch.Ryan really is the perfect alpha male. And he’s a military hero to boot…swoon. The things he does to Bri is so freaking hot…on the porch swing…against the wall…on the bearskin rug…yes please!! But he’s also sweet and vulnerable and caring. He’s also bullheaded and had a tendency to jump to conclusions and take things out of context. It was evident from the start that Ryan and Bri were perfect for each other. One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Bri is reading a romance book and Ryan asks her to read it out loud to him, she does until she gets to the steamy part and then he takes over. I suddenly want a man to read me a hot romance novel.This is only my second Katee Robert book, but I fell for her writing style while reading the first one, now I’m totally in love with her. She has found a permanent spot on my must read author list which meant I had to rush out to buy her other Brazen books. I can’t wait to read them. Hopefully life and other books will let me get them in soon. In the meantime, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves hot romances and amazing characters.Arc provided by the publisher for an honest review.
