review 1: Another entertaining story in this series. More on the sensitive end of the spectrum with this story between Winnie & Dylan. Winnie has had such horrible things happen to her in her past that you struggle right along with her in believing she will ever be able to find love and be able to.stomach the touch of a man. Very sad. BUT Dylan has the patience of steel and he knows Winnie is worth it. Very sweet story. 4 solid stars
review 2: I am a big fan of the Damaged series and have read every book so far. Unfortunately, I noticed a pattern with Ms. Hunter that bothers me. This is the 3rd book in the Damaged series where the h has been gang-raped. The next book in this series also involves the h experiencing rape by one or more people. In every case, the h experien... moreces the assault for a week to several months. I remember another book by this author, Gator, where the h has the mind of a child and is used as a prostitute by her father. So it is yet another case of a h being assaulted sexually. I do not understand Ms. Hunter's fascination with this type of crime. It disturbs me that it is used so frequently in her stories. Anyway, back to the review. I could not warm up to Winnie; there was nothing that made her stand out. In fact, she seemed to be a combination of Farah (h from Damaged #1) and Mia (h from Gator). Her need for a doll at her age made her seem too childlike, especially when she brought it with her to Dylan's house. Plus, why would Winnie's parents let Dylan stay in bed with her when they just started dating? For such a religious family, they were really open about their daughter having sex. I thought going to church all the time would make Winnie have some kind of connection to God but she never mentions anything related to religion. She seemed to have no qualms about having and wanting sex with a man. She has sex with Dylan pretty quickly and even gave herself some medication to keep calm during the encounter. It was horribly unromantic. I wished the Dylan would have asked Winnie on a date instead of Harlow forcing the issue. Plus, Harlow was so annoying as a chaperone. I did not like Harlow either. She seemed like a combination of Raven and Bailey. Again, the character did not stand out. She is the third character in the series to fight at the arena and at this point that angle has dried up. It makes me think that Ms. Hunter has run out of ideas for the female leads in this series. I like the glimpses we get of the past couples. Although I still don't like Tawny or Judd. My favorite is Cooper and Farah. I didn't like that some of the couples are seem tickling each other or staring into each others eyes lustfully. Those were not the glimpses I was hoping for. In sum, I am on the fence about finishing this series or continuing with this author. less
