Patrick and Melia's worlds literally collided when they first meet. Neither knows who the other is, but manage to create a lasting first impression of each other for all the wrong reasons. When their stars are once again aligned; sparks start to fly.
Patrick is very much a stereotypical alpha man-whore. He's president of the MC, and used to women scratching his itch on demand. He's rough and demanding, showing little respect for the whores that throw themselves at him. Melia is a freelance photographer but more importantly the surrogate to Patrick's unborn niece or nephew. She's also a woman that is willing to stand up for herself; outspoken and unwavering. Melia doesn't like to been treated like a doormat and likewise, Patrick is taken aback by the fact another woman besides his sister Ryan, is willing to verbally stand up to him.
I spent most of the story trying to figure out why Patrick acted and behaved the way he did with women. Most of the time he was such an a*sehole, with tiny glimpses of someone that is capable of deeper, meaningful feelings. It was such a relief to finally try and understand the reasons behind his behavior with women.
Melia is equally frustrating. We are lead to believe that she has had problems with men and relationships in her past. Her own father was abusive. So, it was difficult to find a plausible reason why a woman would be attracted to such an ass as Patrick. I guess the “Off the chart” sex was just too good to resist. ;-)
This was a quick, likeable read with alternating POV's of Patrick and Melia. I found a few spelling errors, but these didn't spoil the overall enjoyment of this book.
