Let me begin by saying that I am exhausted because I stayed up late to finish this book. With a sexy male lead, super hot sex, and a touch of danger, what’s not to love?I love Lily Hayes. She is a mild-mannered third grade teacher in need of some excitement in her life. She is a likable female lead that is easy to relate to. I did have a little trouble with her age. To me, it just didn’t fit with everything I knew about her professional career. Lily’s reaction to seeing Kelvin for the first time definitely set the tone for this steamy romance and it was easy to get caught up in her enthusiasm as the romance blossomed.Kelvin Carter Jr. is the answer to Lily’s need for excitement. He is sexy, mysterious, and fantastic in bed. At first, I wasn’t sure I was going to like Kelvin.Physically, he did it for me, but on their first date he seemed a little strange. As the story progressed I really liked him and appreciated that feeling of confusion because it was what Lily was feeling after their first date. Kelvin is your typical bad boy with a good heart and who doesn’t love that in male lead?I do have to admit that I really didn’t like Lily’s best friend, Lexi. Rather than finding her comments witty, I mostly found them mean-spirited. I envisioned Lily as someone who would be more sensitive to the feelings of others so her friendship with Lexi didn’t make sense to me.I definitely recommend picking up a copy of Claiming Carter. This is book one in the seriesbut it didn’t end with an annoying cliff hanger. Yes, you can tell there is more story but I did not walk away with the sense of frustration.
