About this audiobook
Confident, determined, compelling . . . Connor McKenzie isn't a man who deprives himself of what he wants. There was only one thing he ever resisted, and it was the one thing he wanted most: the unknowingly enticing Jaxxon. When he sees her on the cover of a magazine, it reawakens every urge he buried. She tries to keep him out of her life, but Connor can't let it go. He resisted her ten years ago for a good reason. But now that reason is no longer there, and he's resolute that nothing-not even Jaxxon-will stop him from having her.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing as always. Enjoyed every last word. Suzanne knows how to write a sassy, strong and independent female better than most.
This book is filled with laughter, tears, angs and about 100 different emotions.
And I cannot even start on the Alpha Male. All I can say is yum. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Nope, do not like this author, but everyone has an opinion
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was an ok book. I liked all the characters, however the typos, spelling and grammatical errors were really bad!!! I also hated how much drama there was, but very VERY little payback. I don't know, I wanted to like this book much more than I actually did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book! I loved the fire between the main characters. They were both broken in so many ways, but together they were whole again.
There were a lot of unbelievable parts, but hey, it's fiction!
Would love to see more from this author. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked how British it was but the story wasnt strong enough for me...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!1! STILL DO! Ü
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one wasn’t overly well written, the characters were over-drawn, the story was kind of a cheesy and unbelievable cinderella-type of thing with plot holes as big as an eighteenwheeler.
BUT: it was entertaining. Also kudos to the female character for not falling into plot-cliches when confronted with relationship-phobic Alpha-male.
I loved the author’s other book which was written later than this one, I assume, so I am looking forward to her new books. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/52.5 stars
After arguing with myself for a couple of minutes now, I decided to go for a review.
I didn't know a thing about the book before I started reading, so I didn't have any expectations whatsoever... BUT I had problems getting into the story right at the beginning.
The setup was too unrealstic for me - Yes, yes, this is fiction, I know (I can almost hear the protests rushing my way) but I need to be able to imagine that this could actually happen and I simply couldn't. That alone put me off a little right from the start.
When a book holds a warning that it "contains a bitchy female that curses like a sailor [...] and explicit hot sex in some very public places.", well then that's what it should contain but I didn't find much of that.
Yes, Jaxx is a bitch (albeit a likeable one) but I've heard/read people cussing a lot worse (and maybe that should make me reconsider my book choices), so it didn't warrant a warning for me.
Next comes the sex and I don't quite know what to say because I found it a bit boring and thus skipped many of the sex scenes.
The story certainly had potential and I really liked Jaxx, she was different from the usual heroine and amazingly outspoken/blunt. Connor however annoyed the hell out of me as he was too exaggerated for my taste.
I don't want to knock this (because most of us realize how much work authors put into their books), however there's not much more good I can find at this point - it simply wasn't my cup of tea and I had troubles warming up to it. So give it a try and see for yourself if it's something that you might enjoy :).
