I enjoyed reading this. It was both intriguing, waiting to find out what Maggie had done in the past, and heartbreaking when we did find out.

I liked the journey we went on with her going from someone who used sex as a weapon to someone who started to believe she may just be strong enough and brave enough to embrace love and what Asher was offering her if she wanted it.

Speaking of, I liked Asher from the off. Will was a little harder to like at the start but he grows on you easily as the story progresses and you realise just what he'd been willing to do to keep her a year ago.

It should definitely be read by fans of the genre.

Huh

3.25 stars.

So I'll start by saying me and long books don't get on very well. In this, I'd sort of lost interest by the 60% mark. They were together and happy, couldn't that be enough? But nope, we needed some horrible people to create some more drama and to split our very cute couple up and for them to spend the last 20% or so apart... *eye roll*

Don't get me wrong, I loved the two main characters, and as a couple *squee* adorable, or they were when Kalani finally let him into her heart. But I did feel like the story dragged a bit in the middle. All the sex scenes? Meh...I skipped most of them.
  
Hmm...this has three stars for different reasons to the first. The first one I was confused with all the intrigue and anger and sex going on. I didn't understand the anger and the lack of reasoning behind it.

This one was more to do with the fact that about 50% of it took place behind bars. It seemed to go off on a tangent, and one I really wasn't all that bothered about. I wanted happy Elle and Penn, and it didn't happen until the last 20% or so and even that wasn't all happy.

I'm not sure if I'll be in a hurry to read more of the authors books for a while as I need to be in the mood for these dark stories.

I don't know if it was its shortness or the plotline just didn't pull me in but I found this a little odd.

It also seemed to happen too quick. One minute they were meeting for the first time and two days later, after not seeing each other again in between, they're having sex like crazy people and during those days they fall in love with each other only for her to leave...?

I just didn't quite get where her reasoning was in that. I understood her wanting to get a little revenge but at the same time she never talked about her plan, so I didn't understand what she was doing until she told him.

I wont be reading the second novella in this series.

This has left me wanting so much more. And I really want Tarrick to be lying about not caring for Matthew. You can't make me want them to be a couple and then break my heart like that. I mean, I know Tarrick was a bit of an arse in how he treated Matthew but come on..?!

I have to agree with some other reviewers about having M/F sex scenes when I thought this was going to be M/M. I don't really like it happening but I didn't mind it too much.

I also can't wait to read more of this series and might have to splash out on book two just to see what happens next.
