Just finished this novel, I was honestly delightfully surprised by how much detail and thought was placed into the characters. Whenever I have read a book about complex relationships, I have always thought to myself, there's no way that would really happen in the real world. Nobody can be that unlucky/stupid....but with this story I was immediately drawn into Hunter and Libby's story.We first meet Hunter, he is a world class poker player, and an heir to fortune. He has a bitter relationship with his father, and he has tangled feelings about his stepmom. Hunter finds himself in the middle of a huge investigation surrounding the disappearance of an escort, who was taken from his bed. He was drugged by a porn queen, who was pissed that Hunter didn't want to be featured in her next kinky film. Hunter hires private investigators to help run down leads, but the more they uncover, the more guilty he looks. Hunter is also drawn to Elizabeth Deville, he has known her since she was 16, he has always been secretly drawn to her, but with everything going on, he doesn't want to endanger her, or get her caught in the cross fire of the nightmare his life has become.Next we meet Elizabeth, she has secretly crushed on Hunter ever since he helped her out when she was 16, she knows it is a dream that will never become reality, but she still can't let go of the what if.....one night when she is at a party, she has an encounter with Hunter that melts her pants off. After that mutually pleasurable moment, she gets a reality check into his life/lifestyle. He isn't out of her bed for 10 minutes, when he is with the porn star. Elizabeth runs downstairs and sees her best friend Cross. He takes one look at her face and comes to all the right conclusions, he shouts at Lizzy that he can't believe she would mess around with Hunter, how could she do that to him? Cross storms out of the house, and a nightmare begins for Lizzy and Cross.This was such a great story, I can't imagine why some reviewers are hating on it. We get some really great dynamics between multiple characters. It isn't just about a confused couple with issues, it is a building of a world that is complete and interactive. You feel compelled to continue the story, you can't believe the chaos that they have to get through to reach there HEA. But it is so worth the reading! As we fidget, and yell at multiple characters we desperately want the good guys to win.So I highly recommend this book, I'm purchasing the next book in this series right now! I recommend you get this book now, so you can take advantage of the price! You will thank me later!The next book Taming Cross is out now, woot, woot!
