Nobody can redeem an asshole hero like Natasha Anders! (Okay, aside from SEP. Shhhh!)! The angst and grovel is just sooo good! I also love how her heroines have a backbone and here it’s no different. I had so much fun rereading this. I can’t decided if liked this one more or the first one. I love them both!

I love the first novel in this series and it's honestly one of my favorite books I've read in a long time.

This one though was just hinged on a huge misunderstanding which shouldn't have even been a thing considering how fucked up he was and the health and emotional state he was in. Also the fact that his friends/family were instantly on his side and wrote the heroine off as a cruel bitch made little sense. I hated the entire set up. This colored the rest of the novel.

As great as the chemistry was between the hero and heroine and the rest of the story, I couldn't get over how fucking stupid the misunderstanding was.
