Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. I liked reading from a male POV and I loved the MC even with his alpha tendencies. There wasn't a lot of I love you, I hate you, I love you push/pull in the story and it was refreshing to see a character who enjoyed being part of a family of all women and having good relationships with his sisters. The sexy parts were sexy hot and the writing was great. I immediately went back to NetGalley and kept watch for the next book in the series and cannot wait to see how things play out. ( )

Good read. ( )

DNF -- I read up to about 51% of the way through.

I had high hopes for this novel but for some reason it didn't capture my interest as I would have liked. Written entirely from the hero's POV, was definitely a unique experience yet his "player" but not-a-player type of qualities were hard to like.

It just wasn't for me but I hope you'll enjoy it if your looking for a contemporary romance. ( )

This is the first in a series of books that will chronicle the various stages of a couples relationship. Both the H/h have been badly burned in the past and have no interest in new relationships. When business dealings bring them together frequently, it is hard to escape the draw between them.

Really enjoyed this read and am glad to have discovered a new to me author. While I'm not usually patient enough for "serials" I like the way the authors have handled that. Even though this book doesn't have an HEA and I know the story isn't over, I wasn't left hanging. This particular part of the new relationship was well handled and simply left me wanting more. Luckily all the books will be released quickly so we won't be wanting for long.

I highly recommend this book. ( )

I gave this book only three stars because it was nothing original. It was a steamy, nice story but very predictable. ( )
