This was a difficult book to swallow. I understand the mixed reviews. But I am a sucker for dark theme romances. I cannot do fluffy and predictable all the time. That’s what makes this book so unique. The prologue right away gets you, it is unbelievable. The author takes readers on an intense rollercoaster ride.Emma has just recently moved into the area, restarting her life and David is doing maintenance in her apartment. And that’s where their unconventional relationship begins…We have Emma’s POV switching between her past and present. We get a good sense of why Emma is the way she is. She has her moments but she is likeable as you read along. The twist is, we also get the POVs from six other women from David’s past. These little glimpses into David’s previous relationships are what we are given to try and understand why David is the way he is. It is actually amazing how the author intertwines all these POVs, giving us just enough to keep us addicted to the book, but not nearly enough to give anything away. She’s genius, really. Also it seems that all six girlfriends have just disappeared. I wonder what happened to them…This book leaves you asking many questions and puts readers in different situations where you’re left wondering what the hell is really going on here.Is David, the gorgeous, brooding, sex on legs, really just a jaded broken character unlucky at love? Or is there more to David?The book has a little bit of everything in it. Let’s not forget to mention the deliciously wicked moments filled with intensely hot sex. Wow, wow, wow! Not lacking in this area.One drawback, the dreaded cliff hanger… I’m not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I hate cliff hangers! But I also believe the author did the right thing to stop where she did. She is giving us time to absorb where we left off in the book. Make us sit and squirm for a bit. I think, if the author had continued the impact would not be as significant.If you’re looking for something different, something fresh and original, then give this book a try.I’ll ask you this, what are you willing to do for love?To find out what Emma is willing to do for love and how their journey ended up where they are…buy this book!Jerz
