Here's the thing, I have been on a run of smut related books the past month and half. Do I regret it? NO! The anticipating, the waiting, the wanting... it was worth it.

This book is a standalone and I think that was a smart choice. What I did like about it is that it was not like the story line took place over a month or two, it spans over a year or so allowing for the tension to build and make each person wait.

I felt for Braxton in the sense of her upbringing and conflicted thoughts. I loved the storyline of each character. I wish I was in Braxton's shoes, especially in a certain scene. Braxton is a little minx herself. The writing was well done and even though I was happy in the end, my heart was torn a couple times, and it got very very very steamy and exciting. I think this is a perfect standalone for those that are in a slump from a series. Highly recommend this book! I definitely will be reading more by this author.
