Hotness

Wow!! This book definitely kept me up at 3 In the morning because I had to know what happened next. This book was a perfect mixture of romance, suspense, and hotness.

Taylor - she was a perfect female lead. Was she annoying at times? Yes, but it wasn't her fault. She was literally kept in the dark throughout the entire book. While I wanted her to give Case a chance , I completely understood where here hesitations came from. Taylor was also related and very strong.

Case - boy did Shantel break the mold with this one. He was all alpha male mixed with intensity. His character was very in your face and I loved it. The more we get to know him the more I fell for him. He may of been an alpha, but he had the heart of gold.

The story is unique and has a twist that I did not see coming (looking back it was always there). Taylor's older brother, Blane is the one that unintentionally introduced Taylor to Case. Taylor's and Blane's father got them in a situation that Blane felt he could handled. Case's and Taylor's chemistry was off the charts. I loved how they got to "know each other" before anything between them happened - I would say 30% into the book. Throughout the book, you start to realize that Case is hiding a secret. A secret that everyone knew except Taylor. I tried to guess what it was and was wrong on all accounts. I have to say, for the first time, the H's secret really was a big one. This book was sooo good and I enjoyed every minute of it. Shantel's writing skills is just too good for words.

I am an epilogue junkie. I always feel an epilogue can really hurt a book. With they being said, the epilogue could have been longer, but I think for the second time in my book history I will read the secondary's book. For one, there is still a big answer as to who wants to destroy Case and his crew. Also, Cade's BFF intrigued me enough to get to know his backstory. I do hope we get a novella of Case and Taylor down the road.
