This is my favorite book. Something about Charlotte and Gabriel bring me back to this book again and again. Charlotte is a mouse of a woman who has been through so much. She is a survivor with so much trauma. The writing really puts the fear into perspective and watching Charlotte take control of her own life back is just a wonderful read. The love between Charlotte and her T-Rex feels organic and real. Its a good time even if I giggle when I say the title out loud.

 This was my first Nalini Singh and I really enjoyed her writing and this story. This book tackles domestic violence and stalking from a previous partner of the FMC so please read with care.

T-Rex, MMC is everything and I really loved him a lot. This is an office romance with the boss and assistant and it really worked for me. Great build, spice and side plot point was good!
