Having read, and loved, the Emerge series, I was eager to snap up Pretty Instinct.  I'm so glad I did. In fact, I think Pretty Instinct exceeds that excellent series. The character development is well paced and multi-dimensional. As in meeting anyone new, some stuff is immediately obvious, other stuff makes you go, "hmmmm" and you learn more as time goes on. Avoiding the "I have a secret, but I'm not telling" plot device, the trauma of Lizzie's past feels real, but not over done. Rather than feeling formulaic, the story unspools for the reader as it does for the protagonists. And those protagonists feel genuine.  They all have issues, but not everyone has horrifying pasts or is ridiculously broken.Besides being beautifully paced, well written (few typos here and there, but clearly typos, not language fails) the book is also LMAO funny.  There's banter, there's wit, there's sadness and the good guys win. Again, with some hiccups, but not with the all-too-common ridiculous, trumped-up misunderstanding. Subtlety, folks, it's a beautiful thing. :)So, READ THIS!  It will be time well spent.  Though it's called erotica, honestly, it's an engaging story of personal growth, love and healing. The hot sex is awesome, but the surrounding story makes it so much more.
