Grind by Sawyer Bennett

5.0

Good Lord, have mercy. If I thought Clash was hot? This is beyond sizzling! Holy crap, every time Cal & Macy are together? Everything just explodes. That swingers club scene. Jesus Christ. I do not even know what I'm going to feel. I hate Macy for letting Cal go through with that. But I love Cal all the more for doing anything for Macy—knowing deep down that she needs it that's why he did it. For her. I feel so bad for whatever Macy went through before. I think I have an inkling to what it is, but I'm still not so sure. I know she has demons. She's haunted every day, but it seems like Cal is her saving grace. But she doesn't believe that she can still be saved. A man like Cal is someone who can seriously bring you to your knees. Kinky, intense and playful sex? Check. Sweet and romantic? Check. Protective and loyal? Check. Smart? Heck yes, check. He's a man who will do anything and everything for someone he cares for. And I so deeply admire him for that. He's almost close to perfect. He's even a freaking cuddler! Sweet baby Jesus. What more can you ask for? There's a part of me that believes he is indeed good for Macy. That he can pull her out of the darkness she's drowning in. They were making so much progress! I was so happy with all this, even I started to hope. But then what happens in the end cuts all that progress they made and leaves Macy no choice but to completely pull back from him. Cal has been warned both by Mac and Matt even from the very beginning—that he has to tread carefully with Macy. They believe he's not built to hurt Macy. But Macy has the capability to actually destroy and shatter him.

I just hope May 5th comes by in a flash. I can't wait to see what really is haunting Macy and what the hell happened to her that made her the way she is. Why she so desperately believes that she is unlovable and doesn't deserve any good at all. I want to know so much that reading Yield will be the only thing to give me the peace of mind I need with this series. With all that happened at the end of Grind, with Cal left hanging and all alone, I need to know what's the next move he's going to make. How is he going to salvage whatever relationship he has with Macy? Is he really willing to go through all that and still be with her? Will he insist on being by Macy's side after he learns whatever deep dark secret Macy is hiding? Oh God. All these damn questions! My head was definitely left spinning after reading this book. Sawyer Bennett, I definitely have to start reading your other books. ~Renery, 5 stars

*************************

Speechless… Like seriously I'm at a lost for words. Forget 50 Shades of Grey, this book surpasses every boundary I ever thought I would cross. Words like fantastic and fu&%IN# amazing will not do its justice. The creative writing is not only spontaneous but surprising.

Bring it on Ms. Bennett, I am impressed. Macy is lost but perfect. Cal, well he is just your typical male…kinda.

Lust turns to…well lust…turns to well…LUST.

Good god ladies.

Draw your own conclusions ;) xx ~Joanna, 5 stars
