Review: I almost stopped reading it....but am glad that I didn't!

I almost stopped reading this book because of the first several chapters. I couldn't seem to get a feel for how these people were connected and honestly didn't really like any of the main characters. It just felt jumbled up and I also wasn't sure I wanted to continue reading a story where the main two men are man-whores and has a friend who runs a brothel. However, I started it so I thought  I should finish it and I am really glad I did! This is a complicated story line with all of the main characters coming from super dysfunctional homes/pasts. After Libby's BFF Cross has an accident, the pieces finally start to mess together and I was really drawn into the story. FYI...there is quite a bit of raunchy/disturbing sex content and while I could have done without that, I found that after I finished it, it does give you an understanding of why these people act they way they do. It's not an 'easy' read as you do have to pay attention to the twists and turns of the plot and characters but it's really intriguing! I didn't see the dramatic scene that happens with Hunter, Libby and Cross (don't want to spoil it!) and thought Ella James did an amazing job of writing that without the reader seeing it coming! When you read a typical romance story, I find I can usually see how the plot unfolds but I sure didn't in this one. If you want a book that gives you complicated characters, a great plot, twists and turns...and some great romance, then read this one!
