I was Sucked In - But I liked it
Laura A ****
Not at all what I expected, but I can't say that's a "bad" thing. It is a Romance, just not your typical story. While I was surprised, I certainly didn't put it down. What I really enjoyed and found unusual in today's line up of novels is your ability to involve the reader in the journey. You speak directly to the reader and consistently so. I liked your tone and slant toward the perspective of Jake. Adding psychology to the mix was very interesting for me, and I have to say I may have learned a thing or two in the process. I will never look at the bar scene or any other "pick up" atmosphere the same way.

Roller coaster of a novel

Admittedly I had no idea what to expect when reading this book. Romance novel...set in Carolina...love and betrayal...another Nicholas Sparks clone? Definitely not. Readers follow the main character down a dark path with lots of twists and turns. The writing style is definitely non-traditional. Complex ideologies are mixed with hot and heavy romance. Self reflection, mixed philosophies, and unique character depth definitely separate this from a typical story of lust and betrayal (although there are still plenty of both).

Delightfully Wicked...

As advertised, sexy, funny, and yet seductively deep and captivating in the interpersonal relationships, and how the "affair" corrupts. I really like the author's voice in describing things. It's a different read, but in a predictable cookie-cutter world, its different in a good way. More than just a romance novel...thoroughly enjoyable. ;)
