Pretty darn good read. And I'm not a huge fan of cocky, perfect men. However, he had enough skeletons in his closet and insecurities that his cockiness was only one aspect of him. And the heroine was pretty good.

Hva kan jeg si; jeg trodde jeg kunne tollere å lese åpenbart dårlig smut. Jeg tok feil.

This one was a little to0 similar to The Invitation for me. I know that is partially my fault for reading them so close together, but this one was not executed as well so I probably am more annoyed than I normally would have been.
This one also has the trope I don't like where the male love interest calls some other guy by the wrong name constantly because he is jealous. I just am not a fan of the trope and it seems overdone (clearly it is something Vi likes to do because she has done it in the last few books I've read of hers).
For me Chase was not swoon-worthy, he was just creepy at times and demeaning. There were times he was trying to be sweet but it always ended up being off-putting.

A light, quick read about two beautiful, smart, rich people falling in love and the tense buildup to their first time together. It’s more of a romance novel with a few explicit sex scenes than it is an erotica book so depending on what you’re into, this may (or may not) be the book you’re looking for!

I love this book. This book had humor, love, and great characters. I loved the banter between Chase and Reese. I loved how they could make up a story and keep a straight face. They went from middle school lovers to second cousin to lovers and it was hilarious. I loved the flashbacks of Chase earlier years. The flashbacks were done to keep you on your toes as to what will happen next (it was pretty obvious what was coming next). Reese was a great female lead. She was not annoying nor was she a doormat. Chase was just Chase. He was an amazing broken man who hid it well until the end. They were honest with each other from day one. Chase told Reese about his tragic past and Reese did the same in the beginning of their relationship, which is what I loved. I think having Chase's POV at the end was a perfect placement. We were not ready to get inside his head until the worst and it explained his actions at the end. The epilogue was perfect, even though I wouldn't mind a novella of them. Loved this couple and this book.

I enjoyed this book because it was much more than just a sleezy romance novel. I liked the chemistry between the two main characters and the fact that they both had backstories which made them very realistic and relatable. I even enjoyed that Chase's backstory was given a little at a time, but that it didn't take the entire book to find out what had happened either. It was also a nice change to read a book where the main characters weren't either one extreme or another (like in 50 Shades of Grey, for example). The characters in this book, Reese and Chase, were relatively normal people with normal lives and normal relationships.
