- SPOILER ALERT!! -- SPOILER ALERT!! -Like the moods both Tucker and Lilly tossed back and forth so often and frequently (seriously, we're talking double-digits and I lost count), so did my feelings for the novel. It might be easier for me to break it down.Liked:The intimate and erotic sexual sexcapades were written really well as they're quite steamy. You could really feel the sizzling heat between the two right from the start.- I loved how strong Lilly was. She didn't put up with sh*t and she stood up for herself.- I liked Tucker. He's the typical alpha-male heroine - a sexy, witty, hard-bodied male who knows what he wants and doesn't stop till he gets it.- I enjoyed the witty banter and text messages to each other. I actually learned a couple of new symbols. ;)Lilly:"Faced with Tucker's pulsating and stiff manhood, Lilliana could only stare at it in awe. It wasn't the largest d*ck she had ever seen but it was far from the smallest. No, it was like Goldilocks' porridge - just right."Tucker:"This little layover was turning out far better than he had anticipated. Good music, a beautiful woman with an ass like an onion that could brings tears to his eyes, cooking for him and doing what he had instructed her to do. How lucky could a man get?"I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. Never heard an ass described like this before.- Even after two failed marriages, Tucker doesn't let it stop him from marrying for the third time.- There's none of the irritating "I love you" or "let's get married" just days after meeting.- The epilogue, I thought it was terrific as it's typical Tucker.- Best of all, there are NO sequels!! Their story ends with the epilogue.Disliked:- I hated Tucker as his behaviour towards Lilly at times was so reprehensible and degrading. He's such an egotistical, narcissistic, and arrogant SOB. Yes, I know I said I liked him, but I can hate him at the same time too.- Considering the number of times they changed their thoughts and feelings for one another (which in itself became irritating), it's not surprising the novel felt too long - to the point that I was starting to get bored.- As much as I loved their witty banter, it did eventually become a bit much.- I, like so many others, enjoy erotic sex scenes, especially if written well. But the BDSM that Tucker and Lilly adventure into to? Not my cup of tea. (But if you like it, hey, more power to you.) After a while the BDSM scenes became redundant taking up so many pages that I started skimming thru them just so I could read the actual story. (What? You thought I was going to skip the BDSM scenes?)- With respect to the epilogue, it would have been nice to know how far into the future it took place. Was it weeks? Months? A year?I may have thought this book was just okay, but if you enjoy reading erotic BDSM romance with a good story, I'd actually tell you to give this a read as you may end up truly liking it. Perhaps even loving it.
