OMG! I thought Cal and Macy were hot in Clash, but here in Grind...Wow!!!
Their story continues where Clash left off. I love how we get more into who they are. I felt so bad for Macy because she tries to stay guarded but you can see she's starting to have feelings for Cal and the same goes for him.
As always when they are together, they have such passion. There's a particular scene at a swinger's club where you will need to cool off. that was one of the hottest scenes I have ever read. Cal did things that surprised me and I loved every minute of it. ;-) Saint Cal who? :) That's when things changed for them and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
I also loved the fact that we see some more of Matt and Mac..seeing him and Cal start to communicate again was great to see..
There's more going on and we are left with a little cliffhanger..Will Cal and Macy finally give in and see that they are good together? we'll have to wait and see with Yield, the 3rd and final book coming out soon.
I love anything Sawyer Bennett and look forward to see what she has in store for us next. if you haven't read Clash yet, I highly recommend it! start there first ;)

I'm still trying to figure out the secret. I think I have an idea but am still not sure. I wish this would have been condensed down into one book because it's just getting started before it ends for the next book.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
Grind is the second part of Cal and Macy's story by Sawyer Bennett, and this one picks up right after where we left off in Clash. Make sure you start there first if you haven't already read that one. You do not need to have read Matt and Mac's story in the Legal Affairs series, though I am sure that it would give a bit more insight into these characters. I haven't had any problems not having read those yet though, but I will definitely be reading them in the future.
Cal and Macy never got along, despite having a mutual best friend. But after a passionate hook-up, the two began to want more from each other. Macy doesn't do relationships, though she is willing to be monogamous with Cal as long as things are strictly physical. But Cal is looking for more, and he wants to give things a shot with Macy. There is much to Macy that Cal doesn't know though, and she is determined to keep it that way. But can Cal grind Macy down to the point that she is willing to give them a shot and start to reveal some of her secrets to him?
I liked Macy much better in this installment than I did in the first. For some reason with her diary entries in Clash, she came off a bit crazy to me. She was much better this time around though, and we got to see a more vulnerable side to her. She clearly has a lot of pain in her past with some of her thoughts and feelings, and I am really wanting to know more. What happened to make her the way she is? Cal was a bit all over the place in this installment, which was a shame since I really loved him in the first book. I had a tough time figuring out what he wanted when he seemed to kind of flip flop the whole way through. I can tell that he likes being with Macy physically, but then at times he also seems to want more in their relationship. However then he would also say he wasn't in love with her and that she wasn't the type of woman that he would ever love because of how she is. So I am just a little confused with these two and where things are headed. The one thing that is clear though, is that these two are super hot together and they connect physically in a way that they don't with others. Though they have pushed each other a bit, they seem to really understand each other when it comes to their desires.
I have to say that I am slightly confused with this serial. I really thought that these two would have had a bit more banter between them considering how much they couldn't stand one another at first. They started off with every encounter between them ending with them verbally sparring, and now they don't at all. It just seems a bit odd to me that there wasn't any kind of transition when it came to that. All of a sudden they are just friends who sleep together and no longer seem to have that spark or tension that they did before when it comes to them outside the bedroom. I am curious to see what happens next, especially after where we left off here. But I have to say that overall this serial has been kind of disappointing and isn't what I had expected.

Grind is the second installment of Sawyer Bennett's new Legal Affairs serial. Clash left off with Macy offering herself up to Cal. He tried to say no, even did a few times, but he can't stay away. The sex is too good. Macy is too hot. But, he's representing her legally and he won't cross that line with a client. They make a deal to wait until the case is over. I love that this is really a dual POV serial. You get to see a hint inside of Macy via her diary. She's hurting and hiding something. Cal is hilarious, sexy and hot! They make a deal to keep seeing each other in secret and the sex is off the charts good. Some of the best scenes I have read in a while. Probably since my last Sawyer book! Cal knows that he could easily have feelings for her and when he finally sees past her snark and sass he sees sadness and secrets. Macy starts to let herself relax and just be with Cal. Something about him is different and she's different when she's with him. The pain is less, she's more in control. But, something threatens to end their affair before it's really begun. Will Cal push to help her? Can Macy tell him the truth and finally let someone into her heart? I can't wait to find out!!
I'm already addicted to it, and I've only had a few hits. She has the magical ability to suck me in deep to where I may never be able to claw my way out.
"You and Macy are not friends," Mac says with a snort.
I wince.
I'm so not good at this lying shit.
Nope. Not friends. That's for sure.
We're more…fuck budies.
Yeah, that's it.
"And…be forewarned…I'm a cuddler," I add on with a wink.
"Oh, God," she moans dramatically as she wrinkles her nose in distaste. "What have I gotten myself into?"

HOLY HOT!!! This little trilogy sure packs a lot into 12 hours!!! I loved their story, I loved how amazingly HOT they were together and I loved the story line... I loved it all! Cal & Macy are opposite of almost every book I've read this year and that just made it even better. I would have to say 100% Hot, 75% romantics/sweet and 75% gripping plot, what more could you want! The narration was perfect too!
