I, of course, gave this a try because of the reviews. However, this book just didn't live up to the hype if you ask me. Brooke leaves her crazy husband Jake after he goes off the deep end and tries to kill her. She meets Logan briefly and doesn't run into him again until like 8 months later. Brooke and Logan, better known as "hot stuff" and "baby" for most of the book, just got on my nerves. I can deal with the instant attraction/love storyline, but this was nothing more than those two characters telling each other OVER AND OVER how they felt. Logan came off as a wuss. The ex husband, Jake, gets creepy and stalks/threatens Brooke. So Logan, as any other man would, hires a team of 6 bodyguards. Dressed in black combat gear. And they escort her around town. Come on now. That's just ridiculous. But what was even dumber was when she saw a friend and the friend said something like "what are you, royalty now?" (because of the bodyguards). Brooke replies "oh no, my ex is threatening me and Logan went overboard with my protection"  The friend just says "oh how sweet to have someone care about you that much!".....end of that conversation. So the friend didn't want to know about the ex and the threats and WHY she needs 6 damn combat style bodyguards??? UGH! I'm sorry...this book was just not for me. I don't mind the formula of broken woman/alpha male hero, but you have to create a better backstory behind it to keep me interested.
