This is was the first romance book I have read that I actually liked the heroine of the book more than the guy. I know I should be ashamed of myself for admitted that because we girls have to stick together and support each other and I have to be on their side, but usually the chicks at romance books are boring and so predictable. On the other hand guys in romance novels are interesting, you fantasise about them, they are strong, they know what they want, they are larger than life. I repeat only in romance novels! 
 In this case I really preferred the heroine and I was at her side supporting her all the way, while I wanted to punch the guy's face and make him bleed from the first time we met him in book 1 until the last page in book 3. But book 3 is another story. 
 The girl, Alanea, was a survivor. She had her personal psychological problems like obsession with old boyfriends and with boyfriends to be and she had low self esteem. They had press charges against her, she has been under restricting order. She fought against her obsessions, herself. She won. She decided never to be obsessed again with anybody, never to fall in love. Only sex, never give heart and soul. 
 On the other hand we have Hudson, a rich playboy who is a maestro in breaking hearts. Because he is a sociopath. He knows it, everybody knows it. He has professional help about this problem. He admits it to Alanea. At the same time he has a proposition for her. It is simple: Be my girlfriend for a while so that my family will leave me alone and I will give you money. But I have to warn you that I hurt people, I am incapable of love. No love, just sex because of course I want you. 
 Alanea needs the money, she also likes what she sees and she agrees. It is only a game after all and plain sex. Nobody will get hurt. She sweared she will never fall in love. 
 A guy who cannot love and a girl who always love too much, more than she should. 
 Well, here it is the recipe for distruction. Love will definitely be all around. 
 And then the lies begin and the secrets. And then more lies and more secrets and more lies on top of the lies. 
 I admit that there is a happy ending in the book. Everybody is happy. A brand new beginning for everyone. But then you already know there is a second book. And your stomach hurts a bit because you have a really bad feeling about the things that will follow...Hudson is still around after all.
