* I received a free copy of this book from the author via Booksprout.
This was such a good book! Even though the overall pacing to the story was on the slower side the writing enabled it to flow flawlessly until the end. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for more books in this series!
Nicki was presented as this kick-butt character who was into martial arts and running away from something even though she had no idea why initially. Her character is also into BDSM, which was a first for me considering I'd pegged this book as a UF. I can't say whether it was presented correctly or not because it's not something I'm educated on but it was an interesting concept in her character development and I liked how it wasn't just about her getting some with other characters. Even though I understand her thought process and can agree with her to some degree she came off as whiny and slightly annoying in the second half of the novel and it took away from the story a little for me.
Logan was charming and protective throughout the novel and it was overall sweet the lengths he went to try and keep her safe. Considering his age and supposed "wisdom" I'd like to have seen him give her more time to acclimate to the new world he presented to her and for her to open up to him. I liked him overall but there were some instances where I personally wanted to bash him over the head with a bolder or something.
The ending I was not expecting! I always had a niggling feeling that something was up but I never imagined what actually happened. This author proved herself to be an amazing storyteller. I'm SO glad I took a chance on her and this book! I'm personally invested in reading about Kurtis if/when there's a next book, so fingers crossed!

"To get over the past you must first accept the past is over. No matter how many times you analyze it, or regret it, it's over."
