I did not see that ending coming!!Crap, this book...this book was so freaking good.I was introduced to Tricia Daniels (virtually/metaphorically...I haven't actually spoken with her online or in real life) through her feud (all in good fun) with Ren Alexander (Chasing the Wild Sparks) on Facebook.I read and loved Ren's books so I decided that to really be fair in participating in said feud that I should probably read her book too.So glad I did.I can't lie, at first I thought this was going to be just another 50 Shades/This Man type of book. I loved both of those series by the way, so that's not a bad thing. However, this was so not the same. Finally, finally we meet a control freak who can also be light-hearted, playful, friendly and not be a complete a-hole more often than not. Can I also point out that Ethan is the type of rich dom I can deal with. He has plenty of money to live very comfortably but he's not some uptight, posh, pretentious jerk. He dines at pubs and bars and goes to regular old dance clubs. He doesn't live in some ridiculous mansion that's clearly too ginormous for a playboy bachelor. He drives a Dodge Challenger for goodness sake, my dream car. I loved everything about him! I love that while this story had a "meant to be/soulmates from the start" kind of vibe it didn't play out like that. The story flowed at a perfect pace without Olivia and Ethan's relationship moving too quickly or in a contrived manner. How did Ethan say some of the cheesiest, make me roll my eyes kind of lines and not rub me the wrong way. I don't have these answers.The only answer I have is that you should read this book, read it now, tell your friends about it. Tell your friend's friend'a about it and then come back and tell me about it because I'm totally willing to rehash this story repeatedly to anyone who will listen.
