My Review
This book had a lot of things I don’t usually like: steamy scenes, a dominant, arrogant man, and 426 pages – yet I read every one of them.
Why? Because the storyline trapped me. It slowly reeled me in, and I fell hook, line, and sinker. The writing was superb, and the steamy scenes didn’t begin until well after the plot had caught me in its net.
That said, I didn’t like Alexander. He could never be my book boyfriend. He’s a damaged man with a past that still haunts him, and while I sympathised, it didn’t change my mind.
Despite that, I don’t regret reading it, and there were times I genuinely enjoyed it.
The author also did something special at the end – something I’ve never seen done before. I admired that. Very clever, but no spoilers.
There are four books in the series, each focusing on a different brother. The next book sounds exciting, and the lines have been drawn so I know what to expect in the second book.
Will I read it? The simple answer is no. This was a great one-off book for me, but of course with these things, never say never.
Having said that, I still recommend it, and if this is your type of book, I guarantee you’ll adore it.
