Recommendation
Holy hell in a hand basket. Caine is the ultimate asshole-turned-less-asshole, and I could not get enough of his dirty mouth. Hero is deliciously naughty in all the right ways, including the feeling that I should have hated him, but I couldn’t help but want to launch myself at his face. Hero is a must-read! I loved everything about this book. A vulnerable but strong and sassy heroine, Check. A sexy alpha asshole you can’t help but love, Check. Off the charts sexual tension that explodes into gloriously hot sex, Check Check! Add in a fascinating storyline, sexy banter and a hilarious match-making old lady and you get a fantastic 5 star read!Wow. Caine Carraway may be my favorite Alpha A-hole of all time. His tough outer shell and closely guarded secrets makes it seem impossible for Caine and Alexa to find their happiness. Samantha Young weaves a sexy, complex story that’s full of secrets and intrigue. Highly recommended. [February 2015]
