review 1: Really enjoyed this book, it was refreshing to read a love story between a blogger and author. Definitely a first for me. Love the cover, love the title & loved the characters! Fallon was a perfect balance of brass balls & head strong but evened out with the sensitivity & compassion. Ryland Thomas was perfect, romantic, loveable, funny & dumb at times, but hot & fiery between the sheets. Loved that bloggers were given recognition for their hard work too. On the whole I'd recommend this book, it was a nice easy read that kept you wanting more, a unique plot line (refreshing change from the billionaires) and had parts that made you laugh, choke up & at times get plain mad. An enjoyable roller coaster for sure :)
review 2: Reviewed by Erycka:“Fallon, sweetie, al
... moreways remember to keep your chin up. Negative thoughts will only bring you down.”I am always delighted when I sit down to embark on a new book that I know nothing about. I hadn’t ever heard of the author (please forgive me), and had only read the synopsis before delving in.WOW, WOW, WOW!!! About 10% of my way into this book, I hunted Ms. Hargrove down, asked to be my “friend” on Facebook, and messaged her because I HAD to let her know I was reading ‘EB’ and that so far; I loved it!! Thankfully, she didn’t think I was some crazy stalker chick and accepted my request.Fallon is a recent college graduate with debt piled higher than the eye can see. Her mother is as bad as they come. A snarky, evil, ruthless, diabolical bitch!! (I don’t like her, can you tell?) Anytime Fallon has turned to her mother, she has been denied the love, guidance, and understanding a parent should afford their children. And unfortunately for Fallon, she can no longer turn to the one parent that gave her everything; her father. He died when she was sixteen. Leaving her alone and lost in the world.Fallon worked very hard to get through college, and was searching fervently for a career, but was still broker than a joke. She had a great set of friends through her blogging network, which supported her, lifted her up, and challenged her to go after her life’s dream. They harassed her and she finally agreed to meet them in Vegas for WWC. Besides seeing the ever talented R.T. Sinclair, Fallon’s goal that weekend was to lose her virginity. Little did she know the ride to get there was going to be unlike any ride she’s ever taken.There were several times throughout the course of this read that I had to remind myself of the above quote. Negative thoughts danced through me and attempted to trample all the good. My emotions were all over the board. Fallon is a character that I can closely, and I mean closely relate to on many levels. Some of what she was feeling regarding the loss of her father, and the tumultuous relationship with her mother struck a cord in me that I couldn’t shake. Tears streamed when under ‘normal’ (whatever that is) circumstances, they wouldn’t have. I appreciate any author that can do that to me.This story takes many turns, some good and cheer invoking, and others not so good. I did the happy dance on more than one occasion, and shook my fist a few times as well. There is loss, love, hate, angst, and lust. All the makings of a great read!If you’re like me and are a novice when it come to Ms. Hargrove’s works, or a seasoned reader, this is a MUST read!! I give Exquisite Betrayal, five STEAMING hearts!! less
