I gave it 3.5 stars out of five stars
CONTAINS SPOILERS!
The idea for this book was interesting. Two strangers who met online to co-author a story, and then found themselves thrust into each other’s awaiting hands by fate. Now I’m torn on how I should feel…
The beginning was slow moving for me. You would get a moment when things started to heat up and then dissipated beneath Matt’s cold attitude towards her. The characters were interesting and enjoyable to follow. The dialog was engaging and the exchanged witty banter a lot of fun to read. Even the pets had a developed personality and important role.
I thought I knew what direction the book was going into, and then it took a sudden turn. This has me rather uncertain. The character’s backgrounds are what made me forgive most of their annoying traits. Two perfect strangers with an undeniable lust for one another- this I was fine with. But the coupling in front of Hannah’s parents’ house was… Yeah, I just don’t know how to feel about it.
Matt had a girlfriend but promptly cheated on her when Hannah came into the picture. He was racked with guilt, which made it easier for me to swallow, though he did little in the way of redeeming himself.
I don’t think Hannah was a weak female character; actually, I enjoyed her a lot, but she had her moments were I was completely confused and wanted to yell at her.
The sex scenes were steamy, if you’re into that type of thing. There was some light bondage, anal, and later the use of a belt. To me it was fine, purely consensual and the book wasn't chalk full of just spanking. They were totally insatiable though, so the scenes were plenty.
It was a simple plotline, made complex with character back stories and development. The twists were interesting, though I wish we were given more drama at what was supposed to be the big turning point in the story.
Over all this was pretty well written and I would buy the next installment out of curiosity. I don’t hate this book, but I don’t love it either.
