The only thing I regret about this book…is not reading it sooner!!!
The man who follows the rules falls for the women who lives to break them. This book is.. AH MA ZING! Bria Brooks is the badass serial unaliver who crosses the path of the tweed-wearing, sexy Dr Elijah Kaplan. And these 2 together are just ON FIRE!!!
The intensity of this story is one of the things I loved.. Bria has a brutal past and she’s so meticulous about her life. She even has a picker app to decide how to wear her hair or what to eat. But with Eli.. she lets her guard down and THE SPICE that these 2 share is nothing short of HOT!!!
The story is raw and intense and the love between the characters is beautiful. I fell in love with the first line in this book… “I don’t always fck a man before I kill him, but when I do, I find there’s one thing they all have in common. They’re disappointing”. After reading that line. I knew the rest of this book would be just as fantastic. I love Bria & Eli together. An exceptional balance of feminine strength mixed with male heat and emotion.
