5 very solid stars. I simply loved this book. Pure Kristen Ashley awesomeness from start to finish. Also, this story is not only good - it has one of my now very favorite alpha male hero's: Holden "Max" Maxwell. 
 Lord above, I fell in love with this man. Completely in love with him. He was strong and alpha, but good and decent and in control, he loved a lot and he loved hard. Max is just an ultimate dream man. The heroine and POV character is no slouch either. Nina Sheridan might be my favorite all around KA lady. She had her share of issues and at times they did wear thin, but it couldn't overshadow her general awesomeness. 
 There is a steady and perfect climb to the romance and our couple is met with sometimes infuriating obstacles in the race to get on with the lovin' but let me tell you - WORTH IT. So very worth it. Probably the hottest love scenes in a KA book I've read so far, and I think this was my 15th book. Max has a sexy dirty mouth on him that is quite simply DELICIOUS. 
 This book became one my very favorites and is pure escapism. Yes it's self published and there are some grammar and typo errors -- but I didn't even care. Not for one second. If you meet Max & Nina and experience their wonderful story, I don't think you will either.
