ARC received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 Despite the warning in the book description, this was not at all what I expected. To be frank, the first half of the book just disgusted me. If I hadn't received this as an ARC, I would have put the book down and not finished it. This has nothing to do with the author or her style of writing. In fact, I can honestly say Monica James is a very talented writer. It's just not my kind of story. 
 The book is done in the males POV, which I happen to like and it wouldn't have worked any other way. Despite the first half making me want to puke, the author actually started to turn the story around for me. I almost thought I was going to end up liking the book by the end, but then the results of Dixon's disgusting behavior came back to bite him in the ass. This left this book off with a cliffhanger implying things in the next book that just makes me want to scream. 
 I honestly don't know if I will read the next book. If the book starts out like it implies, my answer is hell no! But, we all know the story doesn't always end the way you think it will. I could end up loving this series and will depend on the author. 
 I don't want to give any spoilers but just to warn you there is darker material in this book than I was expecting and the actions of some of the characters were just vile. Again, I do believe the author can turn this book around for me but I would be taking a chance that she might cross the line I personally have for this type of book. Just be forewarned this is not a sweet romantic book and I don't know if you'll love Dixon or hate him.
