This book has some hot and heavy scenes in and is intense from start to finish. A steamy novel that will certainly have your pulse racing.
Also its going to have all the girls wanting Tom.

I’m reading through Maggie Cole’s books now and this is the first one that didn’t sit well with me. I didn’t read any of the reviews prior to reading it, but if I had, I might not have read it. This book needs to have some pretty upfront trigger/content warnings. Rape comes up quite a bit, including two attempted rapes. I think the author does a disservice to real victims by having the victim in the book just nonchalantly move on with her life, like nothing happened. The only reason I’m not giving this one star is because I did enjoy Tom and Liv’s story.

I love this story! Tom and Liv each have a rule or two that they're breaking but the reward outweighs the risk. Adding to that, Tom has a secret that puts it on the line. As a couple, they are adorable, hot, and a power couple that is down to earth. This story is steamy and a page turner. The characters are real, passionate, intelligent, feisty, and well-written.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. It may be a little longer than most of the other books I've read recently, it is worth it.

this book was good but took forever to get into the story and then didn't actually give anything to the story

Didn’t feel chemistry between the main characters. A lot of licking their lips - it felt like every scene one or both was licking their lips. Her insecurities and self-sabotage for most of the book was insufferable. The big secret was sort of obvious and should have been easily solvable.
