Review:

Now we’re getting somewhere!

Is it too much for Natalie to take?

Her Russian, though emotionally closed off, rocks her world every night. He’s controlling, aggressive and yet surprisingly gentle. Can they make this last or will they burst into flames?

I have to admit that this book was a guilty pleasure of mine. I read the second part in one day, after having to download it as soon as the first part ended. I’m not a huge fan of Natalie. I don’t think she has a lot of personality and while I admire her curiosity and bravery for trying new things, a lot of it out of her comfort zone, I can’t say that I was really interested in her as a character.

Sevastyan fell flat for me in this part as well. Sure there were some seriously hot scenes going on. The beginning of this part is Not Suitable To Read In A Public Place Because You Will Start To Blush. But as a character, I wasn’t rooting for him like I was in the previous parts. Their relationship’s tension seemed too forced and draining, too unrealistic. I wanted a little bit more emotion in this installment, because it was the ending. I just didn’t feel it.

The ending wrapped up pretty quickly and while it resolved the major plot points, I felt like I wanted to know more. Not only about their future together but also about the brothers, the history, the business. There was a lot of things mentioned in conversation and in passing, but none of them were really explored.

Bummer. I guess I was expecting more.

Rating 5 Okay.
