My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story is a short novella, and with that format comes some challenges. An author must try to introduce the characters and conflicts and build up to a satisfying ending while answering all the reader’s “why?” questions. In this case, I felt the author could have done slightly better in answering some of the most pressing questions the book raises.
Why does Cole feel he must dominate Tess? What need does it fulfill? Why is anal sex play such a large role in their relationship? And most importantly, why does a man who frequently says “Mine” to Tess feel the need to share her with his best friend at the end?
Regardless of those unanswered questions, I still enjoyed the story and I already have the second book in the series slated to read. I’m expecting, after reading discussions about this series, that the “why’s” I listed above are answered in later books.
