I got this book for free on Amazon. For a free book, it was readable, enjoyable, but not at all believable.

Okay, just finished this in record time, and it was enjoyable. However, I felt the ending felt a little rushed for my taste. Also, while I was reading this, I kept thinking to myself, Why do I see Norman Reedus from Walking Dead as Eddie Berlin? Things that make you go hmmm.

All in all, a great story with a nice twist near the end.

Not bad for a trashy (free on Kindle) romance. Very predictable, but entertaining.

I fell in love with this book almost instantly! It was dripping with witty humor, intrigue, and amazing story telling. It has claimed the title of "Most Favorite Read Ever" for me. It's hard to review since I was so captivated by the story that I didn't take many notes… and the ones I did take were gushy "squee" types. I did have a couple minor issues that were eventually eclipsed by the story itself though. Mainly some dialog tagging, or lack thereof, that caused some confusion at one point. And at the end there was a flashback to Eddie's past that I felt was too long. It challenged the pacing a little bit, but thankfully when the flashback ended the pacing resumed at it's normal speed.

I love these characters so much! Maddie was sarcastic, tough yet soft, and generally portrayed in a believable manner. Eddie was enthralling. One minute he was insanely hot, and the next he was just a man with real issues. I never understood the whole "wounded hero" thing before… I get it now though! Eddie still manages to come off as an alpha man in almost every situation. Together Maddie and Eddie are just electrifying. From the moment they meet the sparks fly, and the tension is palpable. Above that though, is the way they compliment each other. I love them as a couple and rooted for them from the time in the weeds to the HEA.

Overall, I loved this book a lot and can not wait to read again. I'm hoping to get this in hard copy for my bookshelf soon. When I first saw this free at amazon, I almost passed it up because of the cover… but I saw a review where someone had said it was a romance, so I figured I'd give it a try. So glad that I did!
