Where do I even start to describe how I feel about "Night Owl" by M. Pierce? It was an epic romance to say the least, and it's only the first book of the trilogy. One thing that I found kind of wired/trippy was the fact that the author of the book is M. Pierce but also Matt's author name is M. Pierce. Going into the book I was a little confused about that concept. But once I finally got into the story -which happened very quickly- I just felt connected to the characters and the stories being told throughout this novel.
At a certain point while I was reading "Night Owl", I found myself flying through the pages and before I knew it I had been reading for half the night. That is how amazingly good this book is. My one problem with this book was the occasional overlapping points of view. I didn't enjoy relieving a certain event through the other person's point of view after having just read it through the other character's point of view. But really that was mostly the authors writing style, and was easy to get used to, so ultimately it doesn't weigh to heavily on my rating....

DNF - 3/4 way through, stopped reading because of the... way it was heading. Too angsty for me, I guess I understood where Matt was coming from but still. (Sigh). Also heroine wasn’t as strong as I’d like her to be, she sometimes felt like a puppet to Matt rather than a partner.
This book drew me in from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down! Loved the storyline and I don't think it was like FSOG. I guess every time there's a rich guy in a book, someone will compare it to FSOG. Whatever. I loved it and can't wait to get into book 2.
I was leaning towards 4.5 but... A trilogy really? This book would be a perfect standalone. I wish I could unread the epilogue. So it's only getting a 4. I don't think I'm going to read the rest of the series. I don't feel like it will add anything good to these characters.
I'm not a big fan of reading from the characters perspective for the entire book so that was something right off the bat that bothered me. This being a new author for me I wanted to give it the time it deserved to get better. Don't get me wrong the story was a good story about a tortured soul but the constant going back and forth between reading from Matt's perspective to reading from Hannah's perspective started to bother me as the story went on. It was like you read what happened as Matt tells the story but then you read the same thing from Hannah's retelling of the story and you spend half the book reading the same thing with only minute details making it different.
I loved Laurence and the manatee. A bit odd for a 28 years old guy but I don't judge, I love bunnies and stuffed toys and I'm 25.
The sex was soooo weird and we don't really understand why he does that and she just goes with it. I really can't stand when mens call the women "slut" when they have sex.
Lots of things we don't have any answers in the end so I will read the next book in the trilogy.

This book was alright. I was enjoying their "in bed" relationship more than their public relationship. I really didn't like that Matt cheated on his girlfriend, its a dick move to both Hannah and his gf. I did;t particularly like either characters. I felt that once the identity was revealed it all just kinda went down hill. And then the epilogue was uncalled for. I just read the synopsis for the next two books to see what happened because i don't feel like reading them. I don't know if I would recommend this.
*****5++++ Stars*****
So basically I’m starting this review with bad grammar, and I could honestly care less. This book makes me want to curse just for the sake of cursing. This book moved me so much that I can’t even bring myself to write a proper review! BUT I’m gonna try my best. Reading about my Night Owl and my Little Bird has completely changed the way I read books. This story was endeavored in such a unique and slightly manipulative fashion, enough to make me think not only twice, but maybe three times. And then did a full ricochet back to WHATEVER! Is there a clear path when reading this book? Hell NO! And that is honestly what made it so special. These characters. This man. This woman. Their triumph. Their surrender. Their Fall. Their Glory.
This book wasn’t just a story to me. I joked around a bit with my co-blogger about my star rating for this book, and I can honestly say that EVERYTHING about this book screams 5+++ stars. The writing alone took me back. Every word was smooth, or funny, or sarcastically sweet. Every variance in the characters’ notions made perfect sense; every movement through the choreography of words touched me somehow. I just REALLY loved it. I fell in love with the words of the originator and I fell deeply in love with the story of Matt and Hannah.
This book holds a very deceptive tone that is somehow revealing in its truth. Somehow the characters manage to deceive one another while simultaneously learning to trust one another. The need and want they feel far supersedes the realistic crutch that their heart holds. These two beautifully flawed people just want peace. Not only within themselves but for each other.
Matt needs to feel free, yet he has obstacles that hinder his every move. When he first meets Hannah he acts on impulse. She is his indifference… his truth. Matt is an ASSHOLE! He doesn’t know how to be socially cordial. And that only adds to his charm. He’s a sickly rude overbearing POS! And I LOVE HIM.
For the record… This book is STEAMY FUCKING HOT! I don’t normally like to curse in my reviews but HOLY FUCK!!! Obviously I’m gonna have to edit this for Amazon, but FUUUUCCCKKKK!!!! From the very beginning it grabs you, and then you’re basically done. Do some finger push-ups or something. Like seriously. It. Is. Hot.
If infidelity in books bothers you, read this book. If sly talking arrogant assholes piss you off, read this book. If the true quality of humility and banter in characters’ makes you happy, READ THIS BOOK. Matt and Hannah communicate with each other the way wild animals do. No words need to be spoken. It’s primal and seductively shy, and perfect.
Matt is an Author, with a pen name. The Author of this book also has a pen name. Pen names are synonymous with the book world! And regardless of how I feel about this book, I’m still scratching my head at the irony behind the fact that the MC of this book and the Author of THIS BOOK are equally mysterious. I love it and hate it equally!
This is a true saga. Every single word will drag you in to a deep wistful place where you only want the best for Matt and Hannah. Yet the happiness you desire will be conditional on behalf of the words you encounter through the crazy beautiful pages of this book! I’m in some major deep love with this book, and I suggest you all enjoy a cliffhanger as much as I do. Because the Epilogue alone will make you want more and more… And more. I cannot wait. I need book # 2-- Like now.
