The One That Got Away (Mills & Boon Modern) (Mills & Boon Hardback Romance, H7107) (Harlequin Kiss, #1)

by Kelly Hunter

The man who's always left her wanting more!

Good job? Tick. Newly purchased apartment? Tick. Evie's life is on a pretty good keel at the moment. The only thing missing? A man with an edge to keep things interesting. Tortured, distant and sexy, Logan Black has edge written all over him.

He's also the man who tipped Evie over the edge a few years back – she gave him everything, but he didn't know when to stop taking. Evie’s not about to let that happen again. But that doesn't mean she’s forgotten what it's like to surrender to Logan and his deliciously dark desires…

Reviews

[Rowena]

It’s hard to review this book because it wasn’t a bad book but man was it hard to connect with both the hero and the heroine. Logan and Evangeline have a history together, a very short history but a history that has stayed with them all this time. Their history involves a bed, in a hotel and no clothes. Evie was young and inexperienced but her time with Logan showed her that she might be ruined for other men and when he left her high and dry, she never forgot him.

So fast foward to now and Evie owns a contracting business with ….Logan’s brother. Did she know that Max’s brother Logan was her Logan? No but when she finds that out, she’s pretending to be Max’s fiance’ so that they can get their hands on Max’s inheritance for their company. As you can tell, the chemistry is still pretty intense between Logan and Evie, even though Logan makes it known that he wants nothing to do with Evie or the chemistry buzzing between them.

The way Logan acted and reacted to just about everything in this book annoyed me, mostly because while I understood it, I didn’t understand him. I didn’t understand why he was such an ass to Evie if he was so sorry for losing control the way that he did all those years ago. If you don’t want to lose control like that again then stay away from her. Since you didn’t stay away from her, be nice. His attitude toward his mother was justified but his attitude toward Evie wasn’t. Yeah, he came around and it was a long battle but it wasn’t a battle that I cared for.

But aside from Logan’s bad attitude and his inability to just bang Evie and be done with it, this book was good. I really liked Max, sometimes more than Logan but eventually I did come to like both Logan and Evie so I’m glad for that. I’m curious enough about this author that I would give her a try but as far as this book, it was good but not my favorite read of the month.
