I got this book for free through Bookbub and their wonderful deals!
As much as I 70% liked the story, the characters were hard to grasp, the big deals were all predictable, and then the writing looked like it had never been edited/proofread/ second drafted...
Lux wrote that one of her character's voices was horse...
I do want to figure out who's the perpetrator of all of Catelyn's troubles however, to find that out, I have to read the sequels and I probably won't be doing that for a little while. I have other books I want to read.

I liked the romance aspect because she wasn't this character that immediately fell fro the bad boy. There may have been some underlying attraction, but it wasn't obvious. I liked the whole phone sex operator thing, but it got a little weird sometimes. But I liked her relationship with Ash as Cat. I was annoyed at the cliffhanger. I would recommend this to any romance or erotica lovers.

Honestly I give this book 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed it, but it's not quite a 4 star read...I try to be fair with my stars.
On to the review-I downloaded this book because it was listed in one of the freebie/cheap reads discussions, not really expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. The main character Catelyn is in law school at Harvard and really struggling financially. She has no help because her parents were brutally murdered when she was a teen. To bring in some extra cash she decides to work at a phone sex operator. Add in the fact that her parents' killer keeps contacting her and a hot boy and you've got a great read. There are some things I rolled my eyes at but overall I like this one enough to want to pay for the next two parts. I've got some suspicions and I need to find out how things pan out.
Bottom line: I recommend and it's free so why not??

HOLY SHITBALLS! This book had so many insane twists and turns, some predictable but others completely out of left field! AMAZING! General warning, the book ends on a HUGE cliffhanger.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Anyone that knows me well knows that I am NOT a romance reader. The only time I ever read anything with a romantic tone is if there's more going on to the story. When I heard this trilogy was going to have a mystery twist to it then I was in! :) AND it did not disappoint. I found myself completely engaged in the story and would have read it in 1 sitting had not my bed called out to me for sleep! I LOVED the mystery line of this story and I cannot wait to find out what happens next. I wasn't even mad at the cliffhanger because I loved what I had read so much so far...and it helps that the next book is coming very soon!
This book definitely has a lot of HOT, naughty moments that are not appropriate for kiddies...and you may want to read it alone if you tend to blush at things like that. Overall, I think it had the perfect mix of a great story line with interesting characters that you want to root for with a hint of naughtiness for those who like their stories with a little spice...or a lot. ;) I have never read any of the "50 Shades of Grey" books because I've heard the writing is not very well done...and again, I like more story with my naughty....I think THIS trilogy could give THAT series a run for its money in naughtiness mixed with EXCELLENT writing and an intriguing story line that is actually believable! Karpov Kinrade has written another hit! :D

So first of all I have to say OMG!!!! After finishing the book I was so excited and loved the book so much I had no words. It ends on a cliff hanger that leaves you excited and anticipating the next book.
I love Catelyn. She is such an amazingly, strong women who draws your sympathy and respect. She has had a hard life but does not use that as an excuse. She is willing to do anything she has to to make it through college.
Then her life takes a turn for the worse and with her best friend and a new very hot man she has to try and survive.
Th relationships in this book are so real and organic that you can relate with ease. I think that is what makes me love this book so much is that not only does it suck you in until the end, it makes you fall in love with the characters. You will laugh, cry and look over your shoulder as you read this book. Then when the end comes you will be scanning Facebook for the release date for the second book.

It’s not bad
Some parts were a little ridiculous and I kept waiting for something super exciting to happen. I am going to finish the series.
