Review: Who the heck is Magnolia? Is what I said. Lol!

I do a lot of reviewing for blog tours and reviews for authors as favors and such. Sometimes I'm contacted personally and sometimes I find books on Netgalley that I review. Anyway- it isn't often that I can scroll through my never ending TBR list of books that I've already purchased on Amazon and pick one to read. But lemme just say- when I do get the opportunity- Dawn Robertson NEVER disappoints! You are guaranteed to read an amazing, fun, comical, gritty, altogether phenomenal story when you read this authors work!Now, as I wrote on my review for Hers- I ended up screwing up not knowing that this book was the second in the series, so I started reading this and realized CRAP- I need to read book one first. Thank heavens I did or I would've been somewhat lost going fully into this book... I'm glad I only made it 30% before my brain turned on.Hers is about Seven and Levi- but this book was focused on Star and a man she meets in the beginning of the book while she's traveling, Chrome. First I just wanna point one thing out: HOW FREAKIN COOL ARE THERE NAMES? Usually you only read such unique names when reading paranormal, utopian, dystopian, or sci-fi books. I just loved how the characters strong personalities fit the names perfectly! Chrome the biker dude. Star the pornstar badass chick. Seven the rich, prego, won't take shat from anyone business owner multi-millionaire. & then there's Levi, with the common name- who is a common nice guy that works hard, plays harder, and loves the hardest. Levi loves Seven like no other! So I rest my case on the names here- I just really needed to get that off my chest. Lol!Obviously reviews are all about honesty and I'm never anything short of, so I'll be blunt. I didn't enjoy this book as much as Hers. The sex was great, the love was passionate, the charisma was totally there. BUUUTTT I just didn't feel as 'into it' as I wanted to feel, unfortunately. I can't really put a finger on anything significant- I wanted more conflict, issues, hurt, pain, etc. The stuff readers love to read about- you know. The book was very very good and maybe it's just me being stupid or having my expectations way too high because I fell so hard for Hers.At about 75% through the book I was set pretty hard at a 3 star rating and then five minutes later my jaw droppppsss. Like probably harder then it's ever dropped before. For any of you that have already read this story, you know exactly what part I'm talking about. For those who might- I'm not leaving any spoilers here. Readers that like a fun book with a gut wrenching surprise, loads of hot steamy sex, lust around every corner, and sweet love- READ THIS. You are guaranteed to fall in love with the main characters- it's practically impossible not to!Thanks for reading my madness. :)
