Decent enough writing for the genre, some concerns with the relationship because the dude is literally using her to replace his dead wife but no relationship is perfect. Would have given 3 stars but the actually story stops at 41% and the rest is previews of other books. I don’t mind a chapter or two but over half? Fills less like a book and more like an advert for the previous series to me. Also there is an ad to read the extended ending? Why didn’t you put that in the book and raise it to 50%? I wanted to read a story not an advertisement.

I didn't really have any expectations when I started this book. A little curious to see what the caveman lead would be like and that's about it. Overall, the story is sweet. It has a tortured caveman that hasn't figured out how to grieve and live in the present. A sweet, young woman that grew up faster as the oldest sibling and hardwired to love. Then the story gets weird. I mean, I knew that it was going to be weird but it was still rather strange.

Even with the weird, the story is predictable. There's nothing really new or fascinating about the tale. My favorite part of it all was the way Raven portrays Matt and the way Octavia heals the patches to make them all into a family. Those two bits are the most important parts of the story and I feel that the writer did that well.

In my opinion, the story would have been stronger as a whole if it lost the weird plot twists and extraneous summaries of how Matt and Tay felt. There's a summary in every chapter. The chapters are not that long. It was rather redundant but made it easy to skim over.

It was a nice story, but it didn't really make a lasting impression.

I didn't hate this one, but i didn't love it either, i may have to come back and re-rate it, i'm not sure.


The thing is, i didn't believe the story, i felt sorry for Octavia throughout the whole thing, he was literally just using her as a booty call, and although she knew this she still kept going back.

Now i put that down to her being immature, considering she was only 18, however he was a grown assed 30 year old adult and should have known better!

Nope. I borrowed it on Kindle Unlimited because the blurb intrigued me, but it just didn’t work for me. I did manage to make it through the whole book, thinking perhaps it would turn, but it didn’t. The story doesn’t flow well, more like spurts of sex (heh) mixed with alot of anger that there’s even an attraction. Honestly, the hero was too deep in his grief, still way into his dead wife and not ready for romance. In turn, the romance not working just made the rest of the story’s flaws stand out even more. I can’t recommend this.
