review 1: This book was not at all what I expected. The opening chapters go in depth highlighting a sexual scene with the main character and her best friend. The rest of the book describes a three some but mainly sticks describing sexual activities between Sam (main character) and Gabe. The development of there relationship is unrealistic and at times ridiculous. In a matter of weeks the couple goes from sex with no strings to engaged. Hmm... Ok. The plot was just ridiculous. To be honest, I'm surprised I finished the book.

With growing feelings, danger at every turn and seduction on the table, anything can happen.Can they both let go of their shattered pasts long enough to find true love, or is Gabriel Silver about to find out that history repeats itself, and lose everything he ever cared about?My ThoughtsI Loved this novella and story about Gabe and Sam. I have to say that Lacey Silks really knows how to bring on the passion and really bring on the anxiety. There's something to be said about a story line that can stand on it's own even without the sex. I don't know how everyone else has read this series, but i've clearly read books 1 and 2 already, and felt that since i now know the fate of Sam and Gabe (through book 2) that i owed it to myself to get their story. Glad that i did! We meet Sam when she's at the opening of Kissed - the club that Tristan helped open for Kendra in the hopes that it would get her back on her feet and maybe keep her sane and sober. That night changes everything for Sam. She not only sets her eyes on the hottest 'bartender' ever, (Gabe) but she also crosses a line in her best friendship with Kendra in the sense that we see that there's more than just friendship there - they are obviously quite attracted from one another and act on it. What we quickly learn is that Gabe's not a bartender - he's the silent partner in the club, and he's completely enamored with Sam, and makes it his goal to learn about her and protect her since he fears that she'll become a target of some not so nice people who are going to be after Kendra.What quickly happens in this story is that there's an attraction that Gabe and Sam cannot fight, and they start to act on it, but not full gusto at first. then we see Sam almost get kidnapped, which sends the whole story into a tailspin, and across the world into hiding. What we get from there is a story of fear, anxiety, and the potential for healing and love. I really enjoyed this because while you come to expect that the main characters will be damaged from past relationships, the way that these 2 come together is nice. Gabe is trying to heal from the murder of his wife which he feels he was responsible for, and Sam isn't fully healed from losing her first love (in high school) to lukemia. So coming together for them is a battle of wits, and what starts as a fling never lasts as a fling. And the cliffhanger - while i know the outcome since it's woven into the other installments, was a nice ending to their tale. less
