I decided to try this book because I got
it free from Amazon.
Initially it was interesting, thrilling, erotic
and fascinating.
This is a story of Noah and Piper. Noah is
hot alpha male, has issues and baggage, but utterly rich. I felt their
chemistry and connection. I liked Piper, she is frank, upfront and straight
forward.
However, this book got me in a funk. It
had too much description and long inner thoughts of Piper than conversations
and character interactions.
Noah is like Christian Grey and Gideon
Cross combined. There were some similar situations that I felt it was overused
already. I also found the pet names absurd because it was too much, from pet to
sweetness to slut to duckling.
At about 60% is where the story picked up.
I hoped it to be sooner as it tends to be a bit dragging earlier in the book. I
felt that the plot came out only after the 50% mark and I was already starting
to think that it was just another BDSM book. It took me a long time to finish this
as I said I got into a book funk while reading it along with another book that
was too dragging for my taste.
Though the book has so much potential and
I liked the characters, just not how long the story played out and how too much
twist and turns was put into it. I wanted the crimes, the mystery and the angst
to happen earlier. And I also felt that the issues were too many and jumbled up
and fast paced that it doesn't make any sense. In the end I still had so many
questions like why go into the kink lifestyle blindly? Why they liked it in the
first place? Is it fantasy or cure for their past issues? Why the need to be
brutal when the issue is just sibling rivalry? How can two men love this Selene
when she is an awful person? Why did Selene allow herself to be used? Why tell
the police of the crime committed months late? There was just too much that I was
just confused in the end.
