I really enjoyed the first 50% or so of this book. There was a slow, sweet seduction that kept me eagerly awaiting the next interlude between the feisty yet shy Faith and the tough and determined Gray.

I loved their connection. Loved how Faith set out to get her jiggy on with Gray and ADORED how Gray wanted her just as badly unfortunately the second half of the book didn't match up with the first for me.

The story was going along great, the romance was set to a slow simmer and I was thoroughly enjoying it, then all of a sudden Faith goes out of town to get some time out at a beach house and the whole dynamic seemed to change.

It moved from teasing and flirty to porno style in a matter of pages.

Don't get me wrong - I like my book porn. Ask my book buddies....I like it hot, but the emotional depth of the first half of the book didn't carry through into the sex (in my opinion). (view spoiler)[ Even the menage scene left me with a WTF look on my face. I LOVE menage - yet this one left me a little sterile and dare I say it a little violated. AGAIN, I will reiterate - I LIKE IT HOT. But the characters from the first half didn't match with the second half for me. All of a sudden the lady that blushed every time the wind changed was getting rammed up the ass and her face spoofed on. (hide spoiler)]

It just didn't mesh well with me. I like either one or the other - a story with a great love story and emotional depth in the love scenes or a hard core hot and heavy read. Not one that changes from one to the other.

I also found the whole scene with the gunman a little corny. He is threatening to kill you, yet you want to discuss your relationship with Gray?????

But you gave it 4 stars you ask!

Yep, I liked the first half that much.

And don't get me wrong, the second half wasn't horrible, I suppose I just focused on my disappointments because I was so enthralled and in love with the start of this book.

I will definitely be reading the second one asap - I can't wait to read Damon's book.
