When I purchased this, I didn't realize it was a M/m novel. I honestly believe I enjoyed it more because of that.

4 stars. Hot damn! *clutches pearls* Woo! That was...something. Goodness gracious. This definitely should've been longer.

I liked the writing enough, it was easy to get through and the pacing was pretty decent. I loved the Vegas setting and the characters were interesting.

The smut, tho? That *clap* smut *clap* tho?

The smut is.on.point. Like, really freaking good. I needed a cigarette after reading this.

Max is a filthy, filthy bastard with a filthy mouth and I absolutely love him! From the moment he's introduced I was just as intrigued by him as Ethan was. He had a very interesting thing going on with him
being celibate
but he's a Dom through and through. I think he's probably one of the hottest and filthiest talking Doms I've come across thus far.

Ethan is the cutest thing ever! I like that he was a badass and could take down people and he wanted to work for the FBI. He was a great and witty character with a good head on his shoulders. I loved his determination and his humor. He and Max are just so perfect together. Ugh, I need the next book and I'm kinda salty that this was not even 200pgs. I wish the first and second books had been combined into one but that's just me being greedy.

Overall, I'd re-read this in a heartbeat. It was quick and fun and dirty. No complaints from me.

not bad but not compelling either.

I'm not sure what to say about this. Everything is just slightly off. I liked Ethan, though he's very naive and I'm not sure I understand him. I liked Max but it's very cold and robotic. It's supposed to be "mysterious" and "magnetic" but it falls short IMO. I liked Ethan's boss and co-worker. I wish we'd gotten to see more of Max's life outside of Ethan. I didn't particularly like the randomness of all the set up for their relationship. Max is a PI but wants to join the FBI but also models. I HATE the way the FBI is ripped from him. I would've preferred seeing him get in and Max having to put on his big boy pants and DEAL WITH IT. I really dislike how Max treats Ethan regarding the arrangement. I don't get why Ethan is just going with it. I do think they had good chemistry. When it was just them in a scene, I enjoyed it. They had good rapport and chemistry. I don't know if I'll continue the series or not. I'm interested but kind of dread it at the same time.
