This was a good read with a very big twist at the end. It was sort of predictable though.

THIS. BOOK. I was not expecting that.
This is my first read from Chelsea Cameron and now I'm wondering why. Behind Your Back is such a fast read, which is perfect for readers who wanna get lost in a romantic and suspenseful tale.
I have to admit that I was 30% in and I still wasn't aware of what was happening. Our main character, Quinn, is so mysterious. I was not used to reading from a male's perspective but in here, it surprisingly worked very well for me. I love that I can feel his struggles and that Chelsea Cameron made him a very believable character. I don't think I can say the same with Saige though. Its not that she's an awful or bad character, its just that I don't feel her genuineness yet. I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on the sequel (which is on Saige's perspective) I really need some answers from her. And I wanna know her better.
This is why I enjoyed this story very much. Chelsea Cameron played me and I'm not even complaining. Quinn and Saige was characters full of depth that you really have to dig deep and read through to get to know them. Chelsea's writing is eloquent that's why I didn't have any problem while reading it. Everything was so smooth and every chapter was full of anticipation.
Although I wish that it was longer, I do believe that Chelsea has amazing things planned out for this series, I'm ready for more mystery and suspense. I honestly can't wait to be played again by this author, Chelsea Cameron gained a new fan in me.

Started of great, loved Sylas’ POV and his relationship with the guys, but couldn’t connect with the fast burn ‘romance’ or the great betrayal in the end. It all felt rushed and contrived.

DNF at 20%. What am I doing? Should've read more reviews before jumping in with this book. So disappointing, too many inner dialogue and also the story doesn't make sense and throughout the book all that's happening is the main character complaining about his life, how good looking he is, about his cars blah blah blah blah.

Ahhh, look I liked the twist, I liked the cat, but I just wasn't too into the story. Nothing to do with the writing or anything just not keen on the story.
I actually am reading the second one now though because I have issues with not finishing a series.

This book was a rollercoaster ride. The plot and the mystery was just so well done. The romance could have been slightly more touchy feely but it was still amazing. I am very confused and OMG THAT ENDING!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure I threw this book a couple of times and shouted wtf. My neighbours may now file a case against the nutcase(see what I did there?) in the next house. Need. The. Next. Book. Now. 4 stars.

I loved the Fall and Rise series by this author, so when I saw this book I was intrigued. A guy that needs to lead a girl on, is playing her for his own reasons, but ends up falling for her? Sounds good. Only...it was disappointing. I kept looking to see if this was really the same author. It was so very different from the Fall and Rise series, the writing, the characterization, everything, and not in a good way. I thought well maybe this was the authors first books or something, but no it came out after those. I don't really know what happened with this one, but it missed the mark. I only kept reading it after 50% to see what would happen as I knew there would be a twist, only you don't find out much. Must read book two for that, so I suppose I will never know.
Behind Your Back is the story of Quinn/Sylas and Saige. Quinn is an assumed name as he works with some friends doing some not quite legal stuff. His mom was taken from him by some bad guys and him and his friends are trying to take guys like that down. They only target bad men, guys who use their power and influence for human trafficking and drugs and stuff. At least that is what I gathered from this book. It is never really explicitly explained what they are doing, but it could have been fun. The problem? This story is told from Quinn's point of view and I couldn't connect with him at all. It was kind of boring, not much happened, and the story didn't make me care. I know he has problems, he told me, but...it just wasn't good.
And Saige? She is the daughter of their current target. Quinn is supposed to get close to her so they can get dirt on the dad and take him down. Only he falls for her apparently. He has never had that happen before, but just like everything else I didn't see it. I was told he fell for her, but it didn't work. I couldn't connect with any of the characters or situations so it was just not a very good read. I was at least expecting some kind of surprise at the end, but I got there and thought yep. Just as I thought. Why this is happening I don't know, but I am not sure I can read through another book to potentially find out. This was a big disappointment. If this is the first book by this author you have read and you didn't enjoy it try some of her other works. They have all been so much better than this one.

DNF at 57%
Meandering prose.
Stilted dialogue.
Flat characters.
Too much inner monologue.
Too many details that doesn't add anything to the overall plot.
I was bored. Just bored. I'm sure there's a point to all these but it's too much telling and not enough showing. I'm sorry but I couldn't find the strength to continue. So DNF.
