Review:
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
*A little bit spoilery, but I have to rant*
You know what bugs me the most? That I dropped everything to read this book as soon as it arrived on my kindle. I am a huge fan of J. Kenner and I wanted to read this book so bad. Then Reece happened and he ruined the book. Wanna know why? Because he slept with Meghan in the first paragraph of the book. We got to read that and after their horizontal dance he took her out for a drink, where Jenna found them. As if that wasn't enough later we learn that Reece hadn't slept with another woman after the incident he had with Jenna and he chose Meghan to end that dry spell on the night he was supposed to pick Jenna up from the airport. So, not only did he blow Jenna up, but he also chose to spend that time with another woman. I have a feeling Meghan will be a heroine in one of the other 11 books.That is going to be fun. NOT. Fast forward a couple of chapters later, Reece is getting jealous when he sees Jenna with another man while he brought his one night stand to the place he knew Jenna would see her. He didn't have a right to act like he did. Then he said that he had feelings for Jenna for a long long time. And that's where I lost all hope for romance in this book. Stuff like that make me believe that Reece and every other hero who has slept with another woman while he was in love with the heroine, could do it again. I wanted him to be more committed to Jenna. And honestly, they could have spent all the time that was wasted on Meghan doing something else, like I don't know, exploring their feelings for each other? Getting from friends to lovers? Because I wasn't sold on their relationship. It needed more time to develop and convince me that these two should end up together.
I read this book two weeks before this review was written and I still haven't gotten over Reece's awfulness. I have put him on the worst heroes of all time list and he ain't going anywhere else. The whole Meghan thing ruined the book for me because HE HAD FEELINGS FOR JENNA. If he hadn't even met her yet, I would have had such a big issue with the book. I might have even enjoyed it, but I just ended up getting frustrated. As long as something similar to this situation happens in the next book, I will be happy. I will forget about Reece (Jenna was good) and I will pretend that the series begins with Hold on tight.

About J. Kenner
J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and #1 International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres. Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal mommy lit. JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.” A five time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy). Her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series (as Julie Kenner) is currently in development with AwesomenessTV/Awestruck. Her books have sold over three million copies and are published in over twenty languages. In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.Connect with Julie:
