review 1: When two broken people get together, what do you think happens? This is a story that will get you hooked even if you kinda know what it going to happen next, so you really don't want to put the book down. Although there are parts that are slow, most of the book will leave you wanting to read the next chapters.All in all, it is a good read, but needs more editing, in the sense of misspelled words, or repeated words.
review 2: Stella is a workaholic. She works full time as a medical coder, taking on as many hours as she possibly can in order to free herself of debt and buy a new car. She has very little in terms of a social life even through her best friend and roommate Zoey is constantly on her for all of the hours she works. Zoey has been her best friend fore... morever. They were both going to go into the medical field when they graduated from high school, but financial difficulties forced Stella to drop out of nursing school before she was able to graduate. Now she’s working a job that pays her a fraction of what she could make as a nurse, and she puts in more hours to boot.When Ty walks in on his girlfriend straddling another guy, his life is changed forever, as is his outlook on love. As a photographer, he has access to hundreds of beautiful women, something he takes advantage of on a regular basis. But when he meets Stella, the friend of his best friend’s girlfriend, he feels an instant connection. The group of friends are celebrating Emily, Ty’s assistant, leaving his employ to open a studio of her own. That night at the bar Ty suggests Stella comes to work for him part time as his assistant for some extra money, she decides to go for it.What happens next between the two of them can only be summed up as one hot, torrid, roller coaster of a love affair. Ty wants to keep their “relationship” on the down low. He doesn’t want to let anyone know that they are hooking up and that all it is between the two of them is sex, that’s it. He doesn’t do relationships. Stella originally agrees to the arrangement because frankly, it’s been awhile since a man has touched her, so she’s willing to put aside her feelings in order to have Ty in her life, at least in a physical capacity. Problems arise when Ty can’t deal with the feelings he has towards Stella; he’s broken all of his rules with her and feels himself getting too close. He refuses to let his heart be broken again, and he’s just not ready to trust. Stella is tired of having to feel like an outsider in their group of friends, not able to act like a couple with the man she has such strong feelings for. They have no physical contact around others, she feels like a dirty secret. I absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the very first page and the romance and heat between Ty and Stella was sweltering. My biggest issue was the cliffhanger. But not just the cliffhanger, the book ends at 91%, the rest is a peek at the next book! I felt like I felt like I had been brought to the brink of bliss, only to have my partner walk away right before the deed was done. Don’t get me wrong, I’d read this book again in a heartbeat, but had I known that it would end as abruptly as it did, I would probably have waited for the next book in the series to come out first. That said, I’m comfortable with a 4 ½ star rating. I absolutely adored the relationship, however messed up it was at times, between Ty and Stella. I could have done without maybe one or two of the scenes of the back and forth break up and make up, but the heat between the two of them totally made up for it. Ty Caulder is definitely a book boyfriend to end all book boyfriends and this one gave me a serious book hangover for a couple of days. I’m counting down the days until the next book in the series comes out, which will hopefully be sooner, rather than later. less
