I have mixed thoughts on this book
.
For once, I tried to steer away from BDSM books because they are just too much for my taste, except for Fifty Shades Trilogy which was my first, but that doesn’t affect my review for this book.
Characters
I wanted to like the characters, but I find Kendra a bit annoying. At first she seemed like a tough girl who lived in the streets, too tough for my taste, but we know we gotta do what we need to do to survive. But when Connor made her speak the truth about what she felt when her brother left, I find her a whiny brat. Her reason for leaving home seems selfish; her brother died a hero but she’s didn’t see that. She was fixated with the idea that her brother left her because he didn’t want to take care of her.
Connor’s character has a different effect on me- at first I thought he’s a twisted jerk, but then I came to realize that he was actually a man of morals; just a man falling for his dead best friend’s sister, and is trying to keep her at arms’ reach.
Connor’s a 5, but Kendra’s a 2, so the characters are 3.5.
Plot
For the plot, the ex-vet story itself is interesting enough, and the BDSM just added a sexy but dark twist. There were some scenes which dimmed my interest, but there were also scenes that I like, especially those where the boys tease Connor. I’d give the plot a 4.
Pace
The pace is ok, I guess. It wasn’t rushed, both the story and the connection between the two, but I find that there’s still something missing, though I can’t point out what it is. For the plot I give it a 4.
Ending
The ending is ok too; there was a surprise when they found out who betrayed who, but like the pace, I feel like there’s something missing with the ending as well. I’d give the pace a 4 as well.
Overall, 4 stars.
