Love Me didn't turn out to be what I expected based the first 2 chapters. But that's quite ok because in the end I LOVED IT. It turned out to be so much more than an intense attraction with a fast and hot hook up. For a short read, Love MeI'll be honest, at first I was a bit disappointed at the way Brianna and Thomas's relationship took off so fast -- jumping into the hot hook up, no questions asked. I understand the instant attraction, but I thought at least there would have been some kind of chase involved. I was expecting the fast start to set the tone for the rest of the book. But, it didn't. Brianna and Thomas ended up doing everything backward, and it was a nice change of pace.Thomas is a gorgeous sexy marketing executive with charm to boot. Being hurt in the past, Thomas's interest in a relationship is zero. He is smooth, confident, and about to meet the woman that changes it all for him. This woman also happens to be a potential client.Brianna is not what you think she is. She appears to be a beautiful uptight businesswoman, but Thomas suspects there's something more under that sexy yet hard exterior. For someone not interested in a relationship, Thomas feels a need to get closer to Brianna. When the two get together sparks fly instantly. The pair don't even make it to dinner, they head straight to his suite for some super hot sex. So hot, they don't even make it past the front door. Afterward, Brianna is mortified at what she's done with a complete stranger. This is not like her and she flees. She's convinced that Thomas is only using her.Thomas, shocked by Brianna's reaction, he can't even make himself move to go after her. Even after she flees, Thomas still harbors this need to know her. He's still certain there's more to Brianna that he wants to know. Undeterred, Thomas goes after Brianna, and what he finds is quite different than what he expected. What happens after this point is key to the story so I'd hate to say anymore.The story is far from conventional which is what won me over in the end. Some people might have a problem with the path Thomas and Brianna's relationship took, but I found it quite refreshing for the fact that it was different.(ARC was kindly provided by Entangled Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
