So I looked at some of the reviews prior to writing my own. Was a bit curious to see what everyone else thought of this debut novel. First off let me say I just finished emailing Phalla to congratulate her on this novel. Now I was surprised to hear this was her debut album which made me even more giddier to review. I disagree mostly with the not so happy reviewers but in one aspect I must agree. We didnt really have her story down on the page as much as we get to find out about Kevins. Knowing that one of the mens story is entwined with Angels past was unexpected but the real shock was being surprised as to which protagonist it ended up being a part of her tumultuous past. I loved the steamy, raunchy, overly testosterone filled characters. It showed through out the entire story how Angel wanted to break pass the mold she had previously created for herself during the time she was in a truly dark place. I loved moments like those because they hit close to home, I could identify with that aspect of her indecision and the fear of choosing wrong when you let your mind wander in the matters of your heart. Kevin to me was the prince in shining tattoos, tattoos so symbolic as well as sexy. What captivated me about him was that he wasnt afraid to be real with Angel at all times no matter how crude it would come across because even though he was hiding secrets from her she still deep down knew that their connection motivated the relationship they had. Roman seems like the italian sex God coming to sweep Angel off her feet in which he does  pretty much from the moment they meet. Although his overly confident and demanding self doesnt sit well with me in which he commands Angel and expects her to sit hand at foot to whatever he says. At some point during the beginning of their relationship it just seemed a bit unrealistic in my personal view on how she would allow him to demand things of her at such an early stage which is a week or so of dating that she would just drop it all to be with him while she still has school and a life to live. But other than those couple of remarks I found her characters to become a part of my mind and soul in a way I just couldnt let my eyes tear away from the pages. I did dislike the way it ended but simply because I am a hateful person towards imminent cliff hangers. All in all im a fan and cant wait for the next installment I will be sitting at the edge of my seat looking all over the internet and my emails expecting to hear anything when it comes related to Phallas next book
