Synopsis

Review
This story didn’t quite capture my interest from the beginning. It took me getting about 75 % through before it started to hold my interest. It’s not for lack of skills, because the author did a fabulous job on this, and though Gabe is pushy and has such a dirty mouth (bad thing? I think not), I was really pretty attracted to him. It was really Stella who did nothing for me. Im really not a huge fan of the female in most books so its rare a female lead captures me. Stella did not capture me. In Fact, she annoyed me. She is stuffy and snippy and I really don’t see why that would be attractive to any many from the beginning. If I were a man, I would have walked off from the beginning … other fish in the sea and all. Even though I still do not like her, I do like how she takes what she wants sexually. She gives as good as she gets in the
bedroom and that I can totally respect. Im hoping her personality is explained a bit more in book 2, as I’d like to not hate her so much because she rocks him out in the bedroom as much as he does her. She’s called out as innocent but she really isn’t all that innocent in my eyes, but that would be to each persons perspective. I don’t see her as sexually innocent, I see her as maybe not having many lovers but absolutely able to hold her own in the bedroom and with whatever Gabe throws at her sexually.
The sex scenes are totally hot and the cliffy~~~ holy hell .. it’s a huge one ….
On the whole, the story didn’t set up the plot for me as well as it could have and im hoping book 2 answers some of those questions as to what the hell is going on with her stepfather and his father, because as of now … we have no idea. I think the story has potential to pick itself up as we go along as more information is added as to why Stella wants revenge on her stepfather and why Gabe wants revenge on his father as well.
The story is written well and the grammar and spelling are good. The series has potential, I just need some more to go on with it so I’ll definitely be on to book 2.
