Helpful Score: 2
The saving grace of this erotic novel was the fact that you could see the man change. I will admit the plot fizzled for me but the intrigue of the growing romantic relationship of the H/H was what kept me turning the pages.
Kerry Sullivan is a 20-something, curvy virgin waitress living in FL.She needs to remedy her brother's dire situation, by any means neccesary. Enter: Rafe, e-securties expert. Kerry's brother has been accused of embezzling funds from the bank he works at and while she can't afford Rafe's services she has a plan to get his attention.
The way the premise unfolds, I mean, it's gotta starts somewhere, somehow and pretty quick. The 48 hour sex deal was flimsy at best but I went with it. I LOVED the descriptive in the love scenes. The emotional and physical connection was instantly made, and you got to know the characters right away. I really hated Rafe. I called him an asshole/bastard for about 99.9 % of the book. But then when he has a chat with his father it is edvident why he is emotionally cold. I like alpha males that are emotionally scarred and let the women they met help them heal but this harsh, cold personality definately was new to me. But I am glad I hung on. I got to see a transformation that was believable not just because it needed to be a romantic HEA but because I felt
the hero found someone that awakened him. I really enjoyed seeing that.
This was a well written novel. With echoes of Lora Leigh [sizzling sex scenes with real emotional need:] and Megan Hart [the characters
tend to have emotional baggage that makes them more real than romantic, at times:]. I'd recommend this to fans of well written erotic romance
that don't mind plot heavy suspense. There are a lot southern-type quips that threw me out of the rythm of reading [like 'I cried until
my nose was as pink as a bunny' or 'my heart revved up like a motor on a car.' Every response was likened to something.
