This is an unconventional romance that will leave your heart racing and your cheeks blushing! While I have heard many mixed reviews on this book (probably due to the fact that there is sort of, a love triangle) I actually found myself really enjoying this novel. Not only is it a fast paced, easy read, but there is definitely character growth, swoon worthy moments, and some suspense added in. With that being said, I read this book in only a few hours because it’s an easy read that flows really well and the characters definitely suck you in. This is the FIRST book I have read by the author and certainly won’t be my last.Okay, so some may be wondering, what’s this love triangle you speak of… Let me be clear. There is no cheating (the characters weren’t together and the main character NOLAN’s intentions were never hidden from the heroine, Lacey). In fact, Nolan was very up front with Lacey in the fact that he didn’t do relationships, he never intended to start one with her, and he just enjoyed the company of women from time to time. Lacey is okay with this. She knows Nolan has another woman in his life- his roommate Daniella, who is a submissive. Lacey knows that the two have a Dom/Sub relationship but there never were feelings or emotions within their relationship. This is very true, and there is no hidden agenda or love on Daniella’s or Nolan’s Part. Because of this, I feel that this is an unconventional romance. Also, I don’t feel like this makes the story bad. In fact, it adds to the story. There are MANY relationships like this going on in the world and the author used this to enhance the story and I think she did an excellent job. SO… this love triangle I speak of isn’t necessarily what one might think when they see this term.
This book is a little different than the previous books of Kendall Ryan's I've read. I really enjoyed this twisty romance and all the surprises that we got in it.Lacey is new in town and has motivation to get close to Nolan, what that motivation is, we don't get to know for a long time, but her plan goes to crap when she actually likes him and starts to feel for him. Nolan is an ex-SEAL and doesn't do commitment or relationships. He has his roommate Daniella that is his sub, and their "relationship" works for him, so when Lacey enters his life, everything he thought he wanted doesn't seem right anymore.As this book progresses you can see Nolan struggle with his feelings for Lacey. He knows he's not the romance and boyfriend type, but even though he fights it over and over again, you can see how far he's fallen for her, but he feels loyal to Daniella and everything they've been through together. At times I wanted to strangle him for not being more open with Daniella and explaining how he felt, because I got the feeling even though she was with him for a reason, that she was stronger than he gave her credit for. They were each others crutches and everything was fine until Lacey entered the picture. Lacey tried to be understanding with Nolan and his relationship with Daniella, but you could tell quickly she wouldn't be ok with it in the long run, because she was starting to have real feelings for Nolan (even if she knew things wouldn't go well once he found out everything she was hiding).The back and forth between Nolan and Lacey is sweet and sexy all at once. I loved how Nolan kept thinking he wasn't good enough, and couldn't do anything more than what he was doing, but he was proving himself wrong over and over again throughout this book.
