Under My Thumb is a fast paced romance with two inherently damaged characters that are surprisingly up front with their needs and wants. The story is told in dual POV's which was a nice change in understanding inner thoughts and turmoil! This is my first time reading Abby Reynolds and I can say that I enjoyed her style of writing as well as her story...well, except that damn cliffhanger! She just made me an automatic 1-click for book 2!Pru has come to the US with her band in hopes to truly "live" a bit, while a very reserved and moody Cash is barely living in his own existance. One man and one woman, both heartbroken from past relationships, find an instant connection and true match of wills. I will admit that I was immediately thinking a Christian Grey kinda scenario...but that is not at all what i got!What better than an immediate relationship of two people that agree to a summer "fling" that gives scorching releases with no strings or feelings? Well, add a considerate partner, an equal lover who never lies and never cheats, and well HOT DOG...Match made in heaven! Well, it would be perfect if that damn HEART didnt get in the way!I will say that I liked this read. I liked Prudence alot, she was a strong character and honestly I liked that she wasn't needy or annoying! However, I sit on the fence a bit with Cash...he talked a good game, very dominant thoughts, yet in the bedroom he was a patient and attentive lover! Stick to the script buddy! LOL!So, as already stated I will have to wait to see how this plays out! In typical angsty fashion, Pru and Cash are in love, the perfect match for one another, but in all that "openness" and "no lies" they seem to have forgot to communicate their true feelings and the summer is over...Pru is gone! Only time will tell if Cash will get her back "under his thumb" :)
