Wicked in His Arms
4 Stars
There is nothing calm and controlled Tobias Walcott despises more than an audacious and brazen woman. That is until Lady Olivia Sherwood arrives at his country estate for a house party and turns his life upside down.
Reid has written a fantastic love-hate relationship with Tobias and Livvie. Their chemistry is off the charts and their romance is both sensual and intimate. Their bickering is delightful and never deteriorates into nasty barbs or insults.
My only issue with the book is the longish separation while Tobias comes to his senses, but he nevertheless gives good grovel and the ending is very satisfying.
It looks like I have found my next favorite author.

Umm, nop.
Lo siento, pero no aquí no he encontrado casi nada de interés. Los personajes son estereotipos manidos de "chica machorrona rebelde" y "noble atormentado con palo metido por culo" sin nada que los haga especiales o interesantes. Los secundarios son como recortes de papel mojado que no vale la pena ni comentar. La historia va un poco a trompicones, pasando de largo cosas que son importantes y extendiéndose demasiado en partes que no tenían por que serlo. Además, a la autora le vendría bien otro editor, porque el estilo a veces dejaba que desear.
Como cosas positivas, diré que hubo ciertos momentos que me sorprendieron y consiguieron llamar mi atención, pero fueron tan escasos y cortos que no logran salvar el libro. Tampoco es que lo haya odiado, pero no me ha resultado interesante y estaba deseando que acabara.

What is it with the guys in this series?? As with the first book, I loved Olivia but was supremely annoyed by the asshole that Tobias turned out to be, which sucks big time because otherwise the book was very entertaining. I wish I could rate this higher, but a single chapter of undying love declarations does not make up for a whole book of douchiness.

4 solid stars! I really enjoyed this, and basically finished it in a day. Olivia and Tobias what an explosive couple.. this was exactly what I needed for Valentine’s Day. Sweet and fiery.
