vampire_mother's review against another edition

All I have to say is that this book was a huge cocktail of feelings. I laughed, I cried (or at least tried not to because there were my parents and my sister in the room with me) and happiness.
Congratulations Sandi and thank you very much for this present. Love you...
And you were right. I fell in love with Connor, though I wanted to kick his balls at the beginning.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, as I haven’t read this author before or heard of the book, however, I liked the cover (which is different to the cover on Goodreads) and wanted to give it a try.
As soon as I started reading, I knew I was going to enjoy it, it was a wonderful read. I really like their dynamics and she doesn’t let him boss her around, his moody character being quite appealing.
The story flows well, the chapters are small and I didn’t want to put it down. I like the way they gradually start getting to know each other and it felt natural. I did find some of their conversations cheesy though, perhaps just me.
As the book proceeds, the relationship starts to feel fast paced, the story line seems to move along quickly, as you get more into the book. It didn’t define a timeline that determines the gradual growth and development of their relationship. The characters acted as if they were well established in their relationship and were communicating as if so, that to me, made it feel a little forced. That saying, it kept me intrigued with all the little twists and turns in the story. I give this book 3.5 stars.
Simple writing, but still a very enjoyable read. There was some mistakes in tenses of sentences, but it was easy to overlook that. I would read more from this author.

Terrible. The story is hoaky. The editing is awful! Didn't enjoy the story line at all.

I liked this book. But I wanted more from it. There was so much promise here, I loved the build up, the banter, the mind games, but I felt that it didn't follow through as well as I had hoped. I enjoyed the characters so much I wanted more from them.

I'm sorry to say I really disliked the author's style, full of 'smiling lightly', 'touching lightly' etc. and didn't particularly warm to Ellery (weird name), Connor and especially Peyton, who I just found annoying. At times it felt like the story moved too fast and lacked depth and coupled with the odd way of writing made it an easy but forgettable read. It's a shame as I'm normally a sucker for a bad-boy-turned-good story but Connor, unfortunately, will not be joining the likes of Christian Grey, Gideon Cross, Jett Townsend and Damian Stark on my list of literary boyfriends :('

I didn't know how I was going to be able to read this book because I have a illness fobbia....but the skilled way it was written I made you understand the characters and how they handled the illness which was amazing ! At times the things she should do we're so funny I found myself laughing and not stopping.....eating pizza and ice cream who would laugh at those scenes BUT the way the scenes were worded were amazing !

A chance encounter, a drunk stranger that needs help getting home and a connection that he never saw coming is exactly what happens between Ellery and Connor. Add in a health scare and a strong headed woman and you have the making for a great story. Looking forward to more in the series.
