*Blows out a big chestful of air and thinks to myself  "OMG Where do Ibegin"*I have read everything that Liz has published.  I think she is an amazing writer and person.  I have her as an "auto buy" because I have not been let down by any of her novels.  This book didn't let me down either.  Now this book was written as a stand alone but it is a great addition to the continuing Stewart Realty Series.  Revelation time, I will admit that Alpha Male Jack Gordon has kept me too busy to notice dear Mr. Evan Adams.  However, he has my full attention NOW.  I can say without a doubt....TEAM EVAN 100%. *Pats Jack on the shoulder and says "We had fun while it lasted."*This book was so amazing to me on so many aspects but I did miss seeing all the other characters involved in the series.  We did see Jack alot  with Sara and glimpses of Susanne.  I did miss seeing Blake, Rob, and Craig as well.  However the epilogue (which Liz totally rocks each and every time) we did get a peek at some of them.....but *sniff* something bad is going to happen next novel and my heart is aching already............ANY FAITHFUL LIZ READER KNOWS, Tissue box is needed at any book because the tears will fall.  They did fall in this novel but not snot sobbing like other novels.Ok so this book gives us a look into the life of Dom Evan Adams who I feel has been relatively "quiet" in the series.  I fell in total love with him this book.  He is a Dom but also enjoys switching when the right Domme is around him...which is totally hot to read.  He has had a terrible upbringing with a dad who is never around and a mom who is more concerned with her "projects" then her children.  Their family "inherits" a complete monster of a boy named Damien who makes hell on Earth Evan's entire life.  I felt very connected to Evan through the novel.  I understood what he was seeking in his adult life and why his relationships failed until Julie.  It broke my heart  to see my man....errrr......Evan being sooo girlie and needy while always controlling his inner Dom.  In a word, he wanted LOVE.  He wanted to be loved unconditionally by someone.  *Sigh* I would sooo be that woman for him :)Julie....I just wanted to hug her for all the trauma she has endured as a young adult.  She has a mother who was more concerned with marrying a rich man then caring for her daughter.  She was super controlling because she herself was a loosey goosey as a teen and didn't want that for her Julie.  I felt torn up and sick at the violent times she had to endure at the hands of a horrible man.  Then the betrayal of her mother was another  heart wrenching part of her young life.  My heart literally hurt for her.  As a mid 20 something, she had another heart wrenching experience that hardened this young womans's heart and soul.  I was a little bit sad at the "Julie" section of the novel.  I didn't feel that I knew her as much as I would have liked to know her....but maybe that is me hoping for some "good times" in her life since all we saw was pain??????  All these painful "life lessons" Julie took part in made her a cold hearted bitch....hence when she tells Evan off and says "she has been eye effed by way more important men"...ouch Julie REALLY!!The relationship/marriage.......Wow.  Can I say I love how Evan just strolled in and made himself comfy in her office and forced her to try his beers....loved it.  I loved how they had a fight in the river and threw mud at each other.  I loved how they learned to trust in each other by the novels ending....However, I was sad at the miscommunication that happened alot between the 2 of them.  I was sooo frustrated at the 's insignificant details that would throw the other outta whack.  However, they are both mega control freaks and sooooooo I guess this would/could probably happen in real life.  I didn't like that Evan withheld the knowledge to Julie about Nina and wondered why? *hands on hips* Evan you got some 'splaining to do!!! I didn't understand that "secret" Country Club.  I also didn't understand how Julie could even THINK anything Damien says is truthful given what she knows about him.  That particular scene made me wanna shake my fist at Daredevil as well.  However I cannot even bring myself to skim over their wedding....OMG I would have loved for Liz to include pictures of what was being told.....It sounded hilarious!!!  Seeing Kyle with dreadlocks and a joint performing the ceremony!!!Ok so I really need to stop rambling.  I will end this by saying "Liz Rocks Out" and so do her books.  Buy one and you will be hooked. I know I was.
