She's all about rules. He lives by none but his own. When these two meet, the results could be disastrous.

When Marisol Everly’s friend Rory sets her up with Fin Herald, Marisol doesn't expect that it will amount to anything, .but that was before she saw Fin's searing blue eyes and mischievous smile. Not to mention, he seems absolutely fascinated by her mundane life. He's everything that a girl could want, but there's something else that ripples under the surface of his flirty behavior. Something darker. Something that fascinates Marisol, but scares her at the same time. Is she willing to risk falling into an abyss she might not get out of?

This is going to be such a hard review to write. Not because I didn't like this book necessarily but because I went into this expecting a nice romantic contemporary and what I got was something entirely different.

I am not sure if I read the genre wrong or if I just assumed it was a contemporary and we all know what they say about those that assume.....

At any rate this was far steamier and far more adult than I had anticipated it would be. Not to mention it contains some very adult situations, choices and issues, most of which I don't practice, understand or are familiar with. Having said that though, I do believe a lot of people will enjoy this read especially considering the popularity of other books and series with similar content. 

This is definitely not a story for those under 18. While this wasn't too graphic, I do have a feeling that other installments will be. 

All warnings and feelings aside, there is a lot of punch packed into this very short (under 100 pages) read. 

Serial novels are so hard to review and rate because you don't have all the story yet. You are just starting to get an idea and feel for the characters and story and then it is bam, it is over and you are left waiting for the next one to come out. Thankfully you never have very long to wait.

Fin and Marisol definitely have some very steamy tension going on but they are both so very different that it will be interesting to see where the author takes their already up and down relationship and budding romance.

Will Fin be able to change for Marisol or will Marisol be able to save Fin? Or will Marisol be the one to bend to Fin's choices and life style? Is this relationship doomed before it even begins?

It will be interesting to find out and see how the author handles it all.
