The story starts out very entertaining and the zexytime is hawt, and there are some interesting layers to the hero. But. The “big reveal” that’s supposed to be so shocking was so obvious from the first mention that the hero and heroine had had a forbidden night together. And she really had no valid reason for not telling him. I can see where she might be selfish and unwise as a 20 year-old, but as she gained in maturity and age, she had to know that keeping the information from him was so very wrong. She was supposed to be this wonderful person and great mother, but she continued to lie and essentially steal something very special from him. I just can’t get past that, so that made the last 15% of the book or so pretty ridiculous. ~However ~ The first 85% of the book was very good. The drunk scene was hilarious. And the scene where the hero tells the heroine about his big disagreement with his late wife was heartbreaking. And the zexytime was really top notch. So I’m giving this book 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. Here’s the breakdown: Cat’s Stats MMC/FMC- Weston and Harlow Genre- Contemporary Romance Length- 311 pages Heat- ...more

If you think itMMC/FMC- Throttle and Sienna POV- 1st person dual Genre- MC Romance Heat- YMMV. If you have Daddy Issues you will absolutely love this. If you think it’s hot when a man refers to himself as “Daddy” in the bedroom (or up against a wall), or when he encourages the woman to call him “Daddy”, you’ll think this is the hottest book ever. I’d give it five volcanoes out of five if that word were removed, but as it stands, I’d maybe give it a two on the zexytime scale. But because that’s a personal preference, and doesn’t ruin the book overall, I gave the book 4 stars. Series? Y Safety- Y. No cheating or S.A. The most stressful thing that happened while I was reading this was a slight ache from when I rolled my eyes every time the word “Daddy” was used during zexytime. Triggers- The Biker’s Trifecta (Language, Violence, Explicit Erotic Content). Tropes- Damsel in Distress, Bodyguard, The “Shut Up” Kiss, Love to Hate You, One Bed Trope, Evil Crime Boss. What I liked- there was a good blend of action, suspense, and zexytime (even if said zexytime sometimes made me cringe). I liked the characters, particularly how perceptive the MMC was about why the FMC was so verbally prickly. What I didn’t- this isn’t so much a dislike as an observation. The Big Bad Boss isn’t dead (spoiler), and I think that could turn around and bite them in the sass (some review sites have an expansive view as to what constitutes profanity).
