I loved Charade, thought Facade was "ok", and now Dawn is back on track with Masquerade.  I really liked Bee and Maddox.  I loved their unconventional "meeting".  I like when characters are flawed and real and I felt that way about Bee and Maddox, it made them more relatable than all the goody-goody, perfect characters that are so generic and common in NA books.  At first I wasn't sure how two characters who are SO similar would work together, but Dawn is gifted and somehow they had chemistry, tension, and good rapport.  I liked the slow build up of their emotional relationship, and I'm not gonna lie, I liked the quickness of their physical relationship, it fit and made sense for these two people.There was something slightly off about this book that makes it a 4 star for me instead of a 5 star read like Charade.  I'm not sure if it's b/c I felt there was too much Laney and Adrian, or maybe it was that the love scenes were all very fast and exactly the same.  Sex is the only way these two people showed their connection for most of the book and I felt those scenes weren't emotional or detailed at all even at the point they should have been.  Obviously the first time is understandable.  It was later on that I was expecting more and felt Dawn should have paid a little more attention to them.  For two characters who refuse to talk about their emotions, their physical relationship becomes much more important as it's the only way they communicate how they feel.But I read it in a day and overall enjoyed it, so I give it 4 stars and look forward to what's coming next from Dawn.
