I am a big fan of Jennifer Dawson and was excited to read her newest bookCRAVE. The story is a little different from her previous books and has more emotion and drama than her other light and fun reads. This story centers on Layla, a woman still mourning the death of her fiancé. She isa tortured woman and having a difficult time moving forward with her life. She doesn’t think she will ever be normal again and the only way she can cope with her grieving, is going to a sex club and engaging in random sex with guys. One night when she is at the club she meets Michael.
Michael is a sexy detective who likes to dominate women and he is exactlywhat Layla is craving. When Michael and Layla meet, they have an instantconnection and incredible chemistry together. He seems to instinctively know what Layla needs and takes things slowly. Michael is an alpha male, yet he also has a sweet, caring and gentle side, when he senses Layla needs that from him. He wants Layla to open up and spend time withhim, but Layla is cautious. She is afraid to take a chance of being hurtagain. Michael makes Layla feel things she hasn’t felt in a long time and it scares her, but he is a confident man and does not let the walls Layla has built scare him away. Michael is also a patient man. He is much more patient than most men would be, because Layla is a lot of work.I have to admit I found Layla frustrating and had a hard time connecting with her. I realize she was grieving and emotional, but I didn’t agree with some of her decisions.
CRAVE is a steamy, emotional story with an interesting plot and the first book in the Undone series.
