London Stallone is graduating from college. Her parents can’t be there because… well, they’re dead. And her brother, she hopes with all her might that he will be there, but she doesn’t know for sure.When she finally spots him right before she’s about to walk across the stage, she momentarily goes stupid just from looking at the guy that’s with him. He’s devastatingly gorgeous and his eyes hold something dangerous.Little did she know, Donovan “Ace” Crow is dangerous. And he wants her. He wants to f*** her and chuck her. And he hatches a plan to get exactly that. He runs a business that is full of lies and money. Dirty money. And he always gets what he wants.After an accident that leaves London alone once again and men on the hunt for her, she lets Ace convince her to fly with him back to New York where he can keep an eye on her. Keeping an eye on her soon turned into Ace and London sharing a sexual relationship. And that relationship slowly turns…until the truth comes out.I have to give this book three and a half stars. I love Shanora, I love her writing. I loved the FireNine Series and can’t wait for more from that series. I just didn’t connect to the characters or the story like I did with the FireNine boys. With the ending, I should have cried. I should have screamed at my Kindle and mentally berated Shanora in my mind… well, I did do that part. But the other two, I didn’t. I just didn’t emotionally connect.This book though, is classified as erotica, and is a complete 180 from her normal work. She has talent in this genre though. The electricity between London and Ace is… well, electrifying, for lack of better word. You will probably find that your panties become wet when you read some of the scenes between the two in this book. Like I said, HOT.I liked this book. I didn’t love it. I do think, though, that it will probably go far and become a top seller. I see the potential it has, even though it didn’t do it for me.Congratulations, Shanora, and good job with this novel! Can’t wait to see you in July! Hope the baby is doing well! (She’s preggers, and the book is dedicated to the baby!)
