I was pleased with this story. I thought some of the stalker stuff was a little overkill but hey its smut what do you want?
Well written in the way that it drew me into the story and I wanted to see what happens on the way to HEA. The sex was better than vanilla and well written.

Not my favorite story by this author. Way too much drama between the two characters. I don't mind a little bit but it got annoying. I liked the setting of the story and Alyssa but just too much going on between the two. More romance less break ups would have been nice.

This book was about 100 pages too long. The story line dragged on and on and it seemed everyone was out to get this lady. The main characters doubted each other up til the last second and then just stopped doubting each other with very little reason. Just seemed like a huge buildup and then a sizzle. Love scenes were hot but I never felt the passion on the pages. Just seemed like words thrown together. Very disappointing after the first two in the series.

My first book by this author, and didn't realise it was a series. It grabbed and held my attention, read it straight through in a few hours. Conflict between the main characters became redundant and annoying. Obviously a formula pulp. Decently smutty without pornographic detail. It was good enough to seek more from this author, but only on a one night only, guilty secret level.

My review is similar to those before me. Way too much drama and an unbelievable past for the heroine. The whole book is them back and forth not trusting each other. Blah. Hoping the next one is better than this.

Let me start out by saying that Shayla Black is one of my favorite authors. This book was just ok. I loved books 1 and 2 (Decadent and Wicked Ties). There was just too much stalker related stuff. It never seemed to end!

Disappointed. The first 2 books in this series were smoking hot with passion. This one fell short for me, it seemed to me that it was more focused on their emotional baggage. Not a bad thing, but not what I was looking forward to in this book. And it was certainly more tame than the previous two. And truthfully about half way through the book I started to skim the pages and only read the dialogue. It was a struggle for me to even finish this book, I was ready to put it down all together. I hope Hunter's story takes us back to the wickedly hot passion that I know Black can write.

Oh, the draaamaaa! This book is written like a 13-year-old thinks life should be. The hero has - a big secret! And the heroine has a big secret too - but she is such a good-hearted stripper that she just has to be a good soul. But in reality, neither one trusts the other; they don't talk & work it out like adults - they just run away believing the worst of each other. The sturm & drang of this story would leave a normal person a neurotic mess, if not worse. Actually, I think I might need some therapy just to get over this book. NOT this author's best effort.

Erotic book with an actual plot, my kind of book. Really liked it. Plan on reading more from Shayla Black. Just the right amount of sex and romance to keep my interest. Book 2 in the series.

I wanted to enjoy this book but I couldn't, I stopped around page 100. As with most of Shayla blacks book Luc is a dominant and highly sexual male. He is unable to have children so he attempts to find a woman who is a quiet, church goer to start a family with, while suppressing his "urges". Alyssa is a former stripper, owner of a strip club who had one night with Luc and is determined to have more. She spends the first half of the book acting like a trashy skank in an attempt to make Luc "get to know and love her" and not think of her as a whore, which he does. Ugh! I tried really, but I stopped when they decided to have one more night of passion before going their separate ways.
I have so far all of her previous books but this one was just bad.

this book is so good the best one in the series and hope hunter and tyler get there own stories
Let's be honest, we don't read these smutty stories to find the meaning of life. So for what it is - an erotic romance novel - this story is fine.
What I didn't like was all the drama over the heroine. It was one thing after another. She had such an unbelievable past even for a fictional character. She's the classic hooker with a heart of gold ala Pretty Woman. I thought all the threats to her life were incredibly overblown. The hero's dilemma could have been easily resolved with a second opinion. It was shocking that he didn't get one given how smart he seems to be in all other aspects of his life. If you want to read something sexy and interesting while checking your brain at the door, this book is for you.
