Really glad I had today off, since I couldn't put the book down. 
 I really liked the hero, Max. Alpha-male with a sweet, caring, nurturing side. He didn't care who saw him being affectionate. 
 The heroine, Nina, was quirky and interesting. 
 There were several different storylines going on at the same time, which definitely kept the book going and the reader's interest involved. 
 Kristen Ashley is my new favorite author, although I do have to take a break between her books. They are intense and long. I usually read something light and fluffy between books. 
 Anyway - definitely recommend her books. While this was the first in a series, the books don't have to be read in order - in fact, I read them in reverse order and had no problems following any of the storylines. 
 Definitely on my keeper shelf!
