Okay... I admit it.. I am a total book snob! I judge books on the covers and synopsis and decide whether I am going to read it. I signed up for the book tour for Without Doubt (what feels like) a long time ago, and didn't really put it too high on my TBR list. It just didn't jump at me and say "READ ME". And the first book in the series, I totally skipped over that. Read the synopsis, saw different character names, decided I could read the second as a standalone. Thankfully, in that respect I was right, however I fully am aware now that my book snobbish ways in respect to Without Doubt are completely unfounded, and I will be going to reading Without Boundaries this weekend because I really enjoyed myself!I read to make myself happy. I don't read books to make me cry, or get in knots (although sometimes it happens and I do love it), but in general I read to put a smile on my face and a bounce in my step. I truly enjoy coming home after a long day at work and curling up on the couch with my iPad and this is exactly the kind of book I like to read!Without Doubt felt like two different books while I was reading it, the first half was very easy going, typical contemporary romance. Ava is a girl who has had to grow up too young. She works at a bar and studies to be a psychologist, at the bar she meets gorgeous MMA fighter (and I LOOOOOOVEE MMA guys) Declan James. There begins a bit of tug of war to get this thing started.Ava, was a bit flakey I thought in the beginning, and even once everything was explained I still felt that although not flakey, some of her fears were unfounded. I felt her a little too closed off, and Declan a little too much of a playboy, which contradicted greatly with his character in the second half of the book. Thats where this all took a change, and the second half of the book got exciting. I don't want to spoil the fun of reading it, but this book was an enjoyable evening read and I look forward to reading what comes next for these characters since there were some loose ends (not a cliffhanger) that I am sure we will see more of in future books :)
