After three days and nights of passion two solstices ago, Avery told Hunter she can only offer him friendship. Avery has been hurt in the past and despite her feelings for Hunter, she is not willing to open herself up to him. Hunter needs Avery by his side and in his bed every night until forever. Hunter knows Avery is his mate and won’t let anything distract him from his goal: Avery’s heart. Can Hunter convince Avery to take a chance on love, or will he be forever trapped in the friend zone?
While I am a fan of Selena Blake’s Stormy Weather series, I’m not really a fan of this read. I hadn’t read the previous books in this series so that may have affected my opinion of the story. I felt a little lost at times not having the background on the characters, but that was my fault for not reading the other books first. The sex scenes were very steamy and the plot was interesting, but I had a difficult time connecting with the main characters. Avery was wishy washy in her wants and Hunter was steadfast in his pursuit of Avery but I didn’t feel any chemistry between the two. Although I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I’d liked to, I still support the author and her work.

Half of the book are chapters about characters that have absolutely nothing to do with the story. The other half Is a whole lot of nothing happens. And there were a lot of nonsensical stuff, like she gets out of bed before the break of down like that's normal but she's a freakin' VAMPIRE and in other parts of the book is said vampires sleep during the day. Also, I never knew when exactly did she teach yoga, or how did she move walking everywhere in the middle of the day being a vampire who can't stand sunlight. And none of the vampires drink blood at all in the book. It's mentioned, and the fMC continuously complains about not being able to eat food, but she drinks a lot of wine, and nothing else. She never ever feeds, and never even thinks of needing blood at all. If she wasn't a vampire the story would have been exactly the same. There's only one scene where he shifts, and it's kinda dissapointing. The two could have been humans and absolutely nothing would be different about the story.
