Tackling Mt. TBR

Note: I read the Loose ID release of this book. I believe the new version released via Dreamspinner Press includes scenes from the prequel.

This book has languished on my TBR for ages. I actually purchased it from the now defunct Fictionwise if that gives you any idea of how long ago I bought it. I've been seeing it around quite a bit since the rerelease is happening and thought I should finally bit the bullet and read it.

Let me say that I found this book very engaging. Having said that, both of the main characters were really screwed up and at times I found both of them be major assholes. So while I was invested in their story, I didn't really like them very much.

I don't want to say exactly what happens but I think Kayden needs some serious therapy. I actually felt so sad for him at one particular spot in the book. The fact that he actually felt like he had to be someone else to have value was really depressing to me.

This is not to say that Shane didn't have problems as well. I think most of his revolved around the fact that he really needed to grow up. They both did some really nasty things to each other and normally this would've made me dislike them so much I no longer enjoyed the book. So kudos to the author that I not only enjoyed the book, but I really wanted these two assholes to get it right and be happy despite the fact I didn't like either one.

I have already picked up the freebies that go with this series so I can read them. And I bought the second book at the same time as this one so I will definitely continue the series and see if Nicky's assholery can be redeemed in The Luckiest.

I'm using this book for T in my A to Z Challenge.
