4.5 Smooches
Synopsis
After the first sighting, he’s fascinated.
After the first smile, he’s infatuated.
By the first kiss, he’s obsessed.
Nolan sees Chloe through a window of a bakery in downtown Manhattan. At first sight, something about her calls to a piece of him he thought was lost. Without thinking, he begins watching her, and when the moment presents itself, he strikes, claiming Chloe for himself. For a man who is used to getting what he wants Nolan wont let anyone or anything stand in his way.
Review
Let’s start by saying I am a HUGE Alpha-a-holic and therefore already a big Aurora Rose Reynolds fan! I love her men, her stories and could not wait to get my hands on this new set of men in control!
“I wanted to consume her. I wanted to brand her. The need to own her, possess her was almost crippling.”
Nolan was a crazy, fucked up, possessive, controlling alpha man and boy did that hit all my happy buttons. I mean why is it the men who get me hot and going in books are the same men who I would probably punch in the throat in real life. When Justified starts (and BOOM does it start just read the first page . . . .I dare you) Nolan and Chloe are together and he is very much already going all alpha on her. This is where I was a tiny bit let down, they are already together, I missed the alpha pursuit. I love watching these women try to deny these men and I love that they all inevitably give in to the passion and pursuit. That being said I loved this book still. Nolan is so crazy. Chloe is a young woman and Nolan definitely has some years and a ton of experience on her.
“You had me this morning.” “That was only me getting rid of my morning wood. That doesn’t count. You owe me,”
For a short, almost novella length book, Justified had a ton packed into it. Chloe is in danger and Nolan is uber-protective and will always do what is necessary to keep her safe. That includes moving her in and controlling her movements. Aurora does a great job of mixing sexiness, a touch of humor and plenty of drama! I am hooked on the Alpha Law Firm and cannot wait for the next installment!
