Rating: 2 out of 5

This is one of my favorite story lines--sexy bad-boy alpha, (being a Navy SEAL was a huge bonus) who doesn't know how to love, falls for innocent girl with a not so great past.  Although all the ingredients are there for me to really LOVE this book, I just couldn't get into it.What I did like:The actual story line--right up my alley.  I thought the time line was interesting--it started in the present, then jumped back to the past and worked its way back up. (I actually thought this was GENIUS of the author, since it hooked me, and made me want to find out what happened, even though I normally would have put it in the DNF pile.I did feel chemistry between the H and h--although they deserve each other.The H and h did this thing with "one word"--I thought this was very sweet.What I didn't like:The writing style wasn't my favorite.  I felt like I was always on the outside instead of getting engrossed in the story.The characters.  Even though the H was a good alpha character, I felt he as way too cocky and self absorbed.  The h was innocent, but I also found her annoying at most times.  It was hard to feel sorry for her for her past when she never seemed to grow up.  I wasn't even crazy about the secondary characters.  Well, except for Stone ( and if you read the book, you know how well things turns out for him!)The dialogue. One of the H's actual lines was "in perfect honesty, I have never wanted to insert my p€ni$ Into a body more than I do yours."  I mean come on--who talks like that?  That is just an example, but one that will probably stay with me forever.  IMO,  They did not act like 30ish professionals.I see I am in the minority here as far as reviews.  I usually do not write low-star reviews since I don't waste my time on a book I am not into, and don't finish it.  But since I HAD to find out what happened, I trudged through it.  Hopefully you will have a better result if you give it a try.
