Actual Rating: 3.5
This was a great read. The story was interesting. Saylor and Cord both have troubled pasts. First Cord and his brothers were raised by an alcoholic father and a mother that did take care of them basically. Saylor was in an abusive relationship. Cord Gentry and his brothers are known for getting into fights amongst other things. However, the people only judge them by what they see at those times, instead of the sweet guys that protect who they love. I thought Cora Brent really showed how the brothers love and protect each other as well as the people they love.
In this book, the romance between Saylor and Cordero (Cord) was explored. They did not like each other at first. However, they later fell in love. Cord is usually a jerk and an ass. However, while I read the book, I saw the softer side to Cord. It is interesting to see how his personality is throughout the book. Saylor was a strong character. I liked how she handled everything put in front of her. I like the way she got out of the abusive relationship by breaking her ex-boyfriend's arm. It was awesome. I found there could have been more about her past that I got. I wanted to know why her relationship with her mother is so strained. Overall, an enjoyable read.

Enjoyed this; even if the miscommunications felt over the top, the magnetic push/pull between them just felt more powerful.

2.5 out of 5 stars
This series has been on my TBR for years and years now. I've always wanted to read this series because I've heard such good things about it.
Now, I am wondering what everyone was thinking raving about it. This book is so full of problematic issues. I quickly learned that it was not a book for me. I did finish it and read it in 2 days, but it was more like a train wreck you can't look away from.
One of the most dramatic cases of instalove I've ever read. Saylor was almost like a spineless jellyfish. She bent at Cord's will and as much anger and hurt that she was supposed to have toward him, she sure did run right into his arms. And for Cord to change his wild ways and suddenly be all about her?? I just didn't get it. It was too much. Too much drama and too over the top. Just too much.
Cord and his brothers drove me crazy. However, I did grow to like Chase. Creed and Cord were idiots and needed to be slapped around. I enjoyed Millie's character and the little glimpse of her story we got.

They insta-loved a bit too quickly given their shared past history and Saylor's recent history. Did not buy. However, was still vaguely entertained.
