The Review:
I have mixed feeling about this one. This review will be in two parts. What I loved and what I thought needed “more”.
First, let me say, I LOVED the spicy, steamy scenes between Jett and Brooke. Those two are smokin’ hot together and their playfulness and role playing was fun to read. I also really enjoyed the characters themselves. Jett was alpha-yummy and though Brooke has some serious insecurity issues, I liked her willingness to enjoy the game. There was a mystery brewing behind all the spice and I loved seeing it play out the way it did, leaving me wanting more. The writing was well done and I think I could have enjoyed the story better if I knew what the heck was going on, which leads me into my second part of the review.
I think I should have read the Surrender Your Love series first, which seems to be beginning of Jett and Brooke’s story. Apparently all three of those books center around them, how they came together and provide the background for the characters that was missing from this read. I desperately wanted to know what was going on and because of that, I’ll probably go back and read those books, but I would have liked to have been warned this was a continuation of their story, even if it says it’s a lead in to something new. I’m one of those readers who likes to have ALL the details. The author does a decent job cluing you in on what’s happened in the past but with only 125 pages, there wasn’t enough room for the past, present and future lead in. I need to go back and read the first books in the other series before moving on to the next book. I just NEED to know all there is to know about Jett and Brooke so I can get totally invest in them and their story. I think I’m going to love them...
