Like all my other reviews, nothing will be said about the plot nor will I regurgitate the back cover of the book. These are my feelings about the book, The authors writing style, and a bit about the characters.
This is the story of Elijah and Penelope. We’ve met Elijah before in past Wilde series. And I was happy to see him in this book looking more in control and with a lot more skill than we had seen him in Pretend You Want Me. It was good to see Gideon and Aspen again in this book looking/acting as bad ass as they were in their book. Elijah in this book was a more fleshed out character (and even tougher and more badass) with this story. I loved seeing the interaction between Gideon and Elijah (who are partners at Wilde) and a friendship that makes the reader feel good.
Now on to the story notes: we see character growth from both H and h which is nice to see. Although miscommunication and trying to save the other person started their issues, I must say I do hate that. Yes it easily provides angst and story intrigue, I just want to smack characters when they do that. But having said that, that all occurs before the story starts so I guess I’ll give it a pass. Though one more rant: if you truly are in love with someone, you talk and work things out. You don’t take away someone’s choice to be in the relationship because you were doing what you think is right. It usually never is. Just saying
Like all Cynthia eden’s books, this one had real to life sounding conversations, hot hot sex, great interactions/chemistry, true friendships and is a story I can lose myself in because it seems real. I also like that the characters aren’t perfect. They have flaws. They have often been through the wringer and came out the other side with fortitude and honor and like ability.
I must say, whereas Elijah didn’t float my boat in Gideon’s story ( Gideon did that) in this book, he was swoon worthy. His love for Penelope never wavered from his point of view, even when he thought they were over. Sigh. His devotion to her especially when she didn’t know it, rocked me on my heels. Also him knowing that he was obsessed while also in love, showed he was self aware.
And one other thing I love about Cynthia’s books is that although this is classified as a romantic suspense, the suspense and action is in the forefront of the story. Yes there is romance, hot sex, but there is also the story. In other words it’s more than just sex. These characters feel like real people who in the course of their life, found love among the chaos idle their lives and like most people wish, they have hot sex that makes your toes curl and body temps rise
I totally recommend this book. The whole series actually. Hope this review helps you make the smart decision to buy this book.
