There were multiple things I enjoyed about this book which made it easy to afford it the rating I did. I loved the authors descriptive abilities, especially in the beginning of the book, bringing you easily into the locale as if you'd been a part of it for longer then just a few minutes. It was masterfully done. I also enjoyed her ability to bring the characters to life in such a way that they didn't seem surreal. Sprinkle just the right dose of humor over these two and what you get is the perfect character package, at least for this reader. They felt real especially in their most humorous moments so it was easy to get attached. I'm so used to stories where a bad boy is turned good by the love of an equally great woman but this story had a really genuine good guy right from the start which made it such a refreshing read. Finally the thing I enjoyed most about this story was the speed at which it moved. it was in no way a large story, in fact it was rather short but the pace at which it moved was perfect. It made it the perfect read for anyone whose on the go and limited on time and also for those of us that have issues putting the e-reader or book down at the end of the night and letting go, if even for a short period. I finished this within a 2 hour span and I don't regret a second of the time I spent reading it. Great Book at an affordable price. That's hard to beat. I definitely recommend it.
It took me 3 hours to read this.. Once I started I couldn't put it down!!!I absolutely loved this book! You don't wait long for the 2 characters to hit it off.. it jumps right into their story..There are some steamy sex scenes too! ;-) It does end with a cliffhanger, so I'm anxiously waiting for the 2nd!! I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves romance, action, and yummy sex scenes!!!!! :-) Absolutely a 5 STAR read..
Really good book but I am left hanging. Alex a guy that went to college and grew up with money bought a restaurant and making an honest living and enjoying it. Till a women walks in trying to get a job. Alex had no clue Kat would walk in and wanted to get to know her better. But a secret she is holding will come out. Feel like there is more needed. Maybe a second book
Just as Kat's life is falling apart around her she meets Alex the attraction is instantaneous and hot, could he be the one? Now I really enjoyed this book but it just ends so I'm assuming there's another but I wish authors would make this clear it annoys me when I get to the end of a book just to discover there's no real end you have to wait for the next one.
