5 StarsWOW! Ella James did an outstanding job in this part 1 of her short novel. The book alternates points of view between Sarah "Red" Ryder and James "Race Hollister" Wolfe. The author lays out the characters story flawlessly and makes you understand what each of them are going through. I loved the determination and perseverance of Red trying to find a job and make ends meet after she was let go of her job. She sells everything she owns so that she can attempt to survive. Her mother died when she was younger and she was left on her own. She ventures out on a drunken night alone and sends an email to her grandmother who she has never met for some help or to come out and meet her. The twist is little did she know that it wasn't her grandmother that contacted her back it was an artist that lived with her grandmother, Gertrude named Wolfe. He is hiding out after a trial that was on television which by the way Red thought he was totally HOT before she feel asleep watching it. She also didn't know that Wolfe is hiding out on the island because he is Red favorite artist as well. They both have this WILD attraction to each other just by first meeting. I LOVE how Wolfe is so up-front with how he feels about Red. He straight up tells her that he wants her, which in my definition is SEXY, everyone wants a guy who goes for what he wants. The intimate moment between them is probably a scene you could read over and over again. I feel like Wolfe has a big secret more than he is willing to let on and am nervous to find out if he is just hiding because he is an anonymous "W" artist or if there is more to him then we have been told. I am intrigued right now, that Red is allowing Wolfe to convince her with money which I don't like but i would like to see if they she falls for Wolfe and ends of keeping the island for the both of them. I also don't want it to end of with Wolfe just using Red either just to get the island he wants. I am really excited to read the next installment of Ella James and see where Red and Wolfe story leads us to. Overall, this was a short novel that capture my attention right away and left us with a cliff hanger.To be continued after I read the next book.
