review 1: I liked the story but the dialogue was a like some mix of gangster teenage lingo that didn't fit the age of the characters.I hated the female main character. She was awful. She describes herself as a bitch and the writer portrayed her as such. This is one book that I really wanted to see the male lead character walk away and keep walking. YES! She was that bad.The author must look up how to properly conjugate the verb "to see." There were too many mistakes for it just to be a typo. Also, the author does not know what the verb "wonder" means. Frequently, she meant wander but used wonder. I suppose you can wander while wondering and wonder about wandering, but they definitely cannot be used interchangeably.
review 2: I really wanted to give this book 5 star
... mores but frustratingly because of editing issues I can only give it 4.We meet Taylor whose life used to be happy and complete…… but tragedy stuck.Her parents were murdered by someone she trusted.She used university as an excuse to run away from her past.Five years on, Taylor still has trust issues and keeps the world blocked out. She is petrified of feeling again and ending up hurt. She likes to keep herself within a very controlled bubble which only her two oldest friends Harper and Jase can penetrate.All her friends want is for her to have a spark for life again!A chance encounter in a coffee shop with the drop dead gorgeous Jackson Brent…….ignites Taylor’s spark and her life is turned upside down. Jackson is a very successfully club owner, who has worked hard to get over his own troubled past to become a role model for his younger brothers Mase and Reuben. No girl as ever been worth more than a one night stand till he meets Taylor……..He sets it his mission to break through her armour and bullshit to simply make her his.This is the start of a battle of wills between Jackson and Taylor………. Jackson going after what he wants and Taylor running from what she wants!!!Who will the battle???Can love really conquer all???I really enjoyed this story and was totally sucked in to Jackson and Taylor’s world and loved being taken on the rollercoaster ride to happiness with them. I wasn’t able to put the book down and read it within a day. The ending didn’t disappoint me either……Unfortunately, this book was poorly edited and it’s something I normally don’t mention, as I hate to be negative towards an author who has worked so hard to publish a book. If a storyline grips me I tend to not notice the editing but frustratingly there were a few too many errors which meant I had to re-read many sentence for them to make sense causing my reading flow to stop. I am highlighting this issue simply so the author is aware and can hopefully change them and make this good book a great one!Regardless of the editing issues, this book is worth the time taken to read it. I simply fell in love with the characters and their stories. As I always say a good book needs to make me laugh, cry, smile and scream………this book did it all. I can’t wait for Mase and Harper’s story and really hope Jase and Reuben get books too. less
