Fabulous cover on this one. Perfect representation of the hero. Excellent composition and title work as well.

I LOVED this book. It was VERY nearly a 5 Star read for me. The only thing that stopped it from being perfect was the "Lynda" stuff. I don't think him hooking up twice with her after meeting the heroine added a single thing to the story and did take away from the romance for me. But honestly, it was just a little niggle in an otherwise phenomenal book.



The writing was fantastic. The pace was great. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. This is not a book filled with sex due to the heroine having been held captive a raped and that was all right by me. It felt real and authentic and heartbreaking. There was only one major secondary character (CAT), and I LOVED her and can't wait to see her get her HEA in the next book (please let it be with BRANDO). Both main characters were PERFECT. Watching Klayton struggle and fall in love with Madison was a joy to experience. He starts off as a bit of a douche, but you will soon be wanting to hug the stuffing out of his cranky ass. Madison broke my heart. I loved her spirit. My heart broke for her so many times. This couple will captivate you from page one and hold your heart in their hands right up to the end. And the final chapter, well that will have you smiling like a loon.

Not much more to say really. It was fantastic, and it gets two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly!
