0, 0000000000000001 star, I mean whatever the lowest mark is possible.

I am really sorry to express it this way but I have never read anything worse!

This is a perfect example of how badly a book can be written and it clearly exemplifies why some people should never write.

And I apologize if this sounds hurtful but this is my personal opinion and this is the kindest way I can put it into words.

A ridiculous writing style (if it has a style whatsoever)!

* Its tone is like an elementary school student essay.
* It is full of reported speech and feels like the bad version of a summary of a book.
* There are scarce dialogues.
* It needs serious editing.

167 pages told by the heroine.

Everything happens like a bad joke to my IQ!

There is no build-up or a transition from "being boss & assistant" to "two people f*cking each other". It all begins with "a foot massage and a lick on the leg" while they are watching a movie in a friendly way.

The hero asks this question: "I want this, do you want it, too?" She says yes and then, we are presented their first sex scene, which is (well, think of a bad porn and then imagine something even worse) really distasteful and unbearable for me!

So I dropped it at 20%, in the middle of Chapter 5, just after their first cheap porn scene.

I am deleting the whole series! If you share my taste in books, please don't waste any time on this!

First and foremost, this book has A LOT of crazy sex scenes. I just need to get it out there. I mean seriously, every friggin chapter has at least 1 or 2 love making scenes. About 80% of the book, the characters are doing it... which is absolutely crazy.

At first, they're like:


which means:


and so it's all:



And the we all know what happens next....






YEP. So that how it basically goes. They're like freaking rabbits or monkeys.



The only thing I noticed was that I didn't see any character developments in the story. I was not convinced with the hero's feeling towards the heroine. The ending for me felt like it was rushed. One moment, she was going away since she needed time to think about their so-called relationship and then BAM they were okay and the guy proposes. I love happy endings but sometimes for you to believe it's a happy-ever-after-kind-of-love, you wanna see both of them grow first and make them realize that they should be mature enough to fight for their love/each other. Right? Right!(I sure hope I made sense. LOL)



Overall, I like reading the book (seriously, the sex is insanely hot!) and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. ;)

5 SEXY PANTY MELTING STARS!!!!!


I absolutly cannot BELEIVE that this was Ella Fox's first book!!! This woman knows how to throw down!!! Damn!! In one of my updates I stated that if it were ever possible to get knocked up by a book then this book would be it.. On a scale of 1-10 on a HOT level, this book would be a 20..seriously..


Although there was a lot of hot steamy panty melting sex... there was an awesome true love story too... Dante and Sabrina--- Friends for a couple of years and working together (Dante is her boss), both secretly attracted to each other an wanting to get their claws into each other for so long but neither willing to cross that line.. until one night when neither could deny what had been simmering beneath the surface for so long...


Once they give into what they have been wanting for so long.. it fireworks


Now.. if they can just hold on to the all consuming burn before the fear of commitment spooks Dante and tears them apart....Sabrina has her hands full and sets out to convince Dante that the burn they have for each other will never burn out and will last a lifetime...

One maybe two very "I'm totally in the minority" stars!

This was one of those books for me that had amazing reviews from most of my friends, so the entire time I was reading it I kept wondering if I had a different version than everyone else....

Sabrina...
seriously gifs photo: BlamGif.gif
She was oblivious to how Dante felt about her, and not in a cute way, in a "seriously, you're an idiot way."

Dante..
He was supposed to be alpha, and yet came across as a spoiled cry baby. **That may be a bit harsh, however not at all exaggerated lol)


All in all this just seemed to be all sex with nothing else to back it up.

If there's one thing I can't stand in books it's when names are repeated over and over. Well! There are 221 pages in this book and the name Dante is used 467 times!

Seriously, why do we need to have his name in practically every sentence! NO NO NO NO NO

I could have enjoyed this book if it wasn't utterly ruined by the repetition. The sex was pretty hot and the whole group dynamic was good, but it couldn't redeem itself - at all - even a little!

I can't deny that I adore a friends to lovers story. This book delivers that genre to-a-tee. However I doubt that any reader will find anything original with this story and it did have some moments of 'cringe' BUT that being said it is a simple well written Romance short novel with plenty of smut to boot.



Steamy and sweet this story is an all round easy read, with a likeable family and great female heroine who knows what she wants and falls in love with her best friend. The story is told from her point of view so it goes without saying that the reader can easily connect with her, but the author also does a good job of keeping you connected with the male hero.

Thoroughly enjoyable not too deep. The story develops nicely and ends as all true romance should.

Warning this book has a blush factor factor of huge proportions, romance friends to lovers meets instant chemistry that carries on right through the book.





I'm sure I'll read the follow up stories surrounding the Hart Family, and I would recommend if you need a book to be easy, steamy and a relatively short, predictable read.

More from me on



3,5 stars!

Very, very HOT read. Lots of sensuality and sex

So.
I liked it. Didn't loved it, but it was OK.

Why just ok? Well, I need more story line, more actions not just porn for your imagination.
Although I can not say that I haven't enjoyed it very much. I did!



And what I hated the most was "the dirty-talk". 90% of it I was just rolling my eyes or face palming, sometimes eve laughing out laud, cause really.... What normal person can be 110 percent in to the lust mode doing "acrobatics" and at the same time make full, correct sentences of a dirty-talk????





In the beginning it was funny at how unnatural it all sounded, in the end it was just annoying .





I'm sorry but I can't imagine a man inside me, at the intense moment of doing .. that, and then he'd stop (while still inside me) and begin explaining how he feels right now, in full 5 or maybe even 7 sentences. (???)



[image error]


I guess the ending was fine... A bit too sweet for me, too naive for my taste. I like HEA.. but this was just so...*eye-roll*

The short version we have Sabrina Tyler who is in love with her best friend who also happens to be her boss Dante hart and reckons he has no interest in her because he doesn't believe in love or commitment of any kind and seems to have a bevy of "Dante bots". That's how far i got into the novel as i could not care less whether or not this relationship was doomed or not.

Am bitter as hell, because this was one of those instances i ended up judging a book by its cover and what i got was a writer who just over described every single detail and the book had so many grammatical errors by page 13 i gave up editing the book and called it a loss.

For example in Page 5 when Sabrina describes getting the job with Dante Ella writes "I was thrilled when i was got the job". Then she goes on to page 12 and writes " They doesn't do it in-front of me and the girls" and continues on to page 13 with " I blow my hair dry". What the heck?

Call me harsh, i don't care...but seriously...come on.. Am going to be giving this series a skip.

Will write my review and rate it when I have finished the whole box set. I want to review and rate them all together since for me each book is a part of the other and if you read the first one, you have to read them all to get the whole story for all the characters.

First, I want to give high marks to Barnes and Noble for having self published authors available. After Fifty Shades, I really got in to romance/erotica, and I've actually had better luck with self published authors than I have with anything currently in the mainstream- with the exception of "Bared To You" by Sylvia Day- but since that also started out self published, I guess it helps to make my point.

Anyway- back to this book.

Broken Hart is a love story, and a good one at that. I connected immediately with the characters. They were well conceived and I liked that the relationship wasn't a rush job. (which is my only issue with 50 shades)

Sabrina and Dante- and their families- felt real to me. I was invested in the story. These are people I would know in real life.

The sex scenes in the story are ON FIRE. Just a total wow. I've read the book twice in the last week, and I am now anxiously waiting for Dante's brothers story.

If you liked Fifty Shades and Bared To You, you're going to love this.

Dear Lord!!! hmmm ... It is safe to say this was really really bad written porn!!! I mean no one speaks like that during sex!! Some are so corny I was embarrassed for them myself!!! I don't think I have ever read a book and roll my eyes this much. Like who think up these things?!?!

These two went at it like rabbits and honestly, I never even felt their connection. The one thing I give the author props for his Dante's stamina!! It definitely outruns most fictional men. And that, makes the really bad porn scenes seem more realistic sex. (Contradictions all around!!)

Still, we get the most serious relationship conversations while he was pounding into her or just went in waiting to begin. Like who speaks two full paragraph while hard inside your bed buddy??? You having sex or making a speech???

This book is full of so many grammatical errors it's unbelievable!! You don't need an editor to just re-read your work or put it in Microsoft Word or something so you can pick up on some of these obvious errors!!
The characters even forgot what they were doing ... have me shouting ... "You weren't reading, you were watching the T.V.!!"

The dialogue is terrible and nothing like how two friends should or would speak to each other. I am rolling my eyes like crazy once again. And when we aren't subjected to really bad dialogue, the female protagonist just speaks for everyone else.
There are 9 characters in total that are introduced in this novel and we have only ever heard directly from 4!! yes, 4!! because two are the love interest, one is his brother and one is her sister.

I am surprised that you are suppose to have this tight knit loving family and never once do you hear the sisters speak directly. You'd think they were mute.

And if all that wasn't bad enough, throw in the cliches and you have the perfect, awful romance/porn novel.

Sabrina is ... sigh ... I don't even know. She could have been a good character if the story was written better and if she refrain from speaking during sex! When I wasn't rolling my eyes, I was laughing at the silly things she kept saying.

Also, I could have swear that in the final sex scene we were getting a marketing slogan for men and the use of anal plugs ... like hello!! o.O

Dante was angry all the time and I didn't even believe his tortured soul facade. The dude want to get some without putting in the work of a relationship and blames it on his messed up parents. Like dude seriously? ... get a grip and some morals!!

I don't remember if I saw a 5 star review for this but if there is, you are a liar!!!!!! This shouldn't even get a star!

I am pretty sure there will be a follow up book, maybe more than one and I am certain as to what will happen. It will be about Damien and Brooke and the cliches, sex and bad conversations will roll on!! So it's safe to say I wont be part taking in this festival!!

Good luck with the rest of this series, because book 1 is utter rubbish!!!

One wild night changes their relationship forever, but Dante lacks faith in love and doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters.

Could it BE more predictable? (Said in my best chandler voice). Turns out, it could...

Can Sabrina break through and fix what's broken in Dante Hart?

Assuming this isn't a rhetorical question, I'd say, of course she would! Given that Sabrina is the lead, she doesn't really have a choice, does she?

I think I was 17 when I first discovered the two most incontrovertible facts about romance novels:

1) The male-lead (tall, dark and handsome) has a careless and dynamic personality that the feisty (and independent) female-lead finds highly annoying (or charming), until she doesn't. He knows his way around a female body (which is okay since STD's don't exist in the romance novel universe).
2) The female-lead is stunningly beautiful (which btw, no one really notices except for the male-lead) and her initial feelings (lust or annoyance) towards the male-lead were only a disguised form of her undying love.

If there is one thing that I'd describe as inherently predictable or true as a broader generalization about romance novels, this is it. Broken Hart is no different and there is nothing wrong with that. The formula has been successful for ages. It's just...predictable.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the good stuff, shall we?
Ella Fox describes Broken Hart (and the rest of this series) as a romance erotica and I don't think there is a way better way to describe it. As most other reviewers have already mentioned, the chemistry between Dante & Sabrina is incredibly sexy and it stays that way through out the book. The depictions of sexual interplay between them are very tasteful (none of that bondage crap) and they reflect the chemistry quite well. (Seriously, do not read this book unless you are in the privacy of your own space.)

But were the passion, the sizzling hot chemistry and the incredible erotic scenes justified? Is Dante and Sabrina's relationship based on lust or love? I'm gonna say yes, they were indeed justified and Ella Fox did an amazing job at maintaining the balance, but you should definitely read this novel and form your opinion.

Cheers,

-Van.

A disturbed guy and a broken girl can only resist each other to some point, the breaking point.



Dante and Sabrina are two extremely sexy and crazy people.
After a year of defying blood-sizzling attraction for each other, these two take it to the extreme...their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them both.





Although overall it was a good read, full of hot scenes and funny banter, I’m probably going to sound like a broken record here…but it sometimes remembered me of an executive cliche, you know..."female secretaries bang their bosses and most bosses bang their secretaries" kinda thing, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but it wasn't the best read I've ever had, yet it kept me reading and fortunately the characters made up for all of the flaws.

These are my thoughts/feelings while reading this book - WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS!!!!



Fav. Quotes (There's alot!)

- Raising my eyes to him, I check to see if he’s noticed what’s happening with me. His eyes blaze back in to mine and the look he gives me is pure heat. Oh, wow. He feels whatever this is too.

- I shudder when he makes a sound of feral appreciation as he sees my little yellow panties. His breath is choppy, just like mine. This is a sight to behold, Dante turned on. I feel like I’m about to explode.

- Holy hell, Dante is a bad boy. Impossibly, I am even more turned on.

- Leaning in he whispers in to my ear, “Baby, I hope you like it rough, because I’m going to fuck you senseless tonight.”

- Reaching out I grab his cock with my hand and start rubbing back and forth, trying to measure it with my hands. “No baby,” he rasps. “If you do that, I'm going to cum all over you before this even starts. I need to be inside of you.” I am stunned when he grabs the hem of my thin silk dress and rips it clean in half.

- Groaning, he throws his head back and grits his teeth. "Oh fuck sweetheart. You're so tiny and tight."

- “Fuck Rina. This. Is. So. Good. Your pussy is incredible.” Sweat is dripping off his face and running down his chest and his breath is so erratic, I think he must be about to cum.

- Eyes still locked with mine, he starts to talk. “Rina baby, this is so fucking good. I’ve never felt this… fuck baby. I’m so deep inside of you. I love watching my cock slide in and out of you, seeing your juices all over my dick. I can actually see your pussy clenching me right now. It’s so fucking hot baby.” The look on his face and the sound of his voice has brought me back. I’m so damn wet for him it’s crazy. “Oh fuck Dante. Fill me with your cum. I want it so bad.” He gives a loud growl and grips my hips harder. I’m probably going to have the imprint of his hands on me for days, but I couldn’t care less. I want him to mark me.

- “Cum again Sabrina. Let me feel you sweetheart. I need this so much.”

- He talks so dirty, it’s blowing my mind. I’ve never been with someone who talks or fucks like he does and I love it.


- I can’t help it; I claw my nails down his back. I have to, it’s so intense. I want to mark him. “Fuck!” Dante yells. “Do that again Rina. It feels so good!" I hardly need to be asked, and I do it again. “Rina! Yes baby, yes! Yes!"

- I see that he is trying to maintain control, but I want him as wild as I am. I take my hand from between my legs, and put two fingers in his mouth, loving that his green eyes are almost black as he sucks my fingers and his control snaps.

- The last thing I remember is him kissing the top of my head and whispering something that sounded like, “That was a dream come true baby. Thank you."

- Sex with Dante was so much better than even my best fantasy had ever been. Given the chance, I’d easily become addicted.

- Suddenly he sits straight up. “Oh fuck! You have to stop baby or I’m going to cum in your mouth.” I shake my head and moan with him in my mouth, which causes him to gasp for air. “Fuck! That’s intense baby.”

- His head is thrown back on to the headrest, his breath still coming in pants and gasps. It takes him a few minutes to pull himself together, and I smile. I love seeing him out of control, knowing that I made him this way.

- Raising my dress to my waist he says, “Grab the edge baby and hold the fuck on.”

- “I’d pay any amount of money to watch you fuck yourself. Jesus. Even thinking about it is making me dizzy. I'm so hard right now.”

- His breathing sounds like he just ran around the block, and I laugh as he groans. “Imagining your fingers rubbing your little pussy, I just came so hard I almost blacked out. You’re killing me baby!”

- I love the sound of his throaty chuckle. “Your boss sounds positively awful. What a dick.” I laugh back at him. “Oh, he’s got quite a dick alright.”

- “Fuck off Damien. Sabrina is mine and no one is taking her away.”

- “Oh yes baby. Clamp that pussy down on my cock. Take it. It feels so fucking amazing to be inside of you. I’ve never been in a pussy so hot, tight or wet. It’s like an assault on my cock.”

- Pulling back he leans his forehead on to mine. “What’s happening here is so…. strange. Normally the intensity wears off almost immediately. This just keeps getting better.”

- “This first time is going to be quick. My dick has been hard as a rock for hours watching you bend over and pick up boxes. You’ve got a mighty nice ass Miss Tyler.”

- “I’m not going to last long baby. Touch that pretty clit of yours and make yourself cum.”

- He shakes his head at me. “Babe, I’d never let someone else see you naked. You’re all mine.”

- As I explode in orgasm, I bury my face in his hair to hide my tear filled eyes as he reaches his own orgasm. In this moment I accept in my head what I’ve known in my heart since the morning he came in to my bedroom and asked me to take this leap of faith. I don’t just love him as a friend. I am in love with him. Head over heels, lock stock and barrel, completely over the moon in love. Shit.

- He’s practically green. “Jesus bab…Sabrina. We didn’t just fuck. Don’t ever say that. We… God, I don’t even know anymore. I guess you’re right. See you tomorrow Sabrina. Drive home safely.”

- I’m on the edge of sleep when I feel the bed shift as Dante pulls me back in to his arms. “Rina, don’t leave me. Need you so much.” My heart leaps and my eyes fly open, only to find that his eyes are still shut because he’s still asleep.

- Peeking up at him, I see that he’s still sound asleep, but somehow he knows each time I move away.

- I nibble and suck a spot on his neck. “Fuck, baby. Fuck! God Sabrina... I miss you so much. I can’t wait. I can’t.”

- Dante arches his back too, but manages to maintain eye contact. “Fuck baby. There’s this feeling I get when I slip inside you. For that first second, it feels like everything stops. Everything. My heart, my breathing, my brain…it all stops, like everything is suspended. It’s the best and most intense feeling I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t even have anything to compare it to. What is this?” I wiggle on top of him, trying hard to ease the growing insanity that is taking over my core. “I don’t know, but I feel the same way when you push in to me. It’s… like a vacuum. I lose space and time for a second. And then, it’s overwhelmingly loud and hot and desperate, all at the same time.”

- “Do you feel that Sabrina? Can you feel what you’re doing to me? My dick craves the inside of you.” His hands are like steel bars on my hips now, the frantic pace so fucking hard and fast, it’s a wonder we don’t catch on fire. “Cum on me Sabrina. Cum for me. I want to watch.”

- I stare at him, hoping against hope that he will realize that it’s okay to take a leap of faith. Unfortunately, the terrified man in him wins, as usual.

- I’m going back to Dante. I can’t surrender until I know that I did everything that I could. If it doesn’t work, at least I can walk away knowing that I gave it my best shot.

- The last four are from Dante. There is no build up with his messages. All of them are equally desperate and frantic. The first is short. “Sabrina! Jesus Sabrina. Where the hell have you gone? Please call one of us. Please.” The second is longer, but more frantic. “Oh god… Please. Sabrina. Please be okay. You would never ever not answer a call from Brooke and she’s out of her mind. Please. Please be okay.” The third is angry. “Fuck Sabrina. FUCK! Why would you leave like this? You should never have left. Why would you do this? If anything has happened to you… Damn you! Why did you go?” The last message is almost more than I can take. “Sabrina. Oh god, Sabrina. This is my fault. If anything has happened to you, it’s on me. I did this. You should never have let me touch you. I’d do anything to turn back to a time before I made you so unhappy. Before I disgusted you so much that you left. I’m praying that you’re okay.” His last words are particularly hard to deal with. “I’m so fucking scared Rina.” As the message ends, I hear him let out a sob.

- Here I’ve been thinking that I’m going to need to make Dante fall in love with me, but the messages tell their own truth. He already is.

- He’s scared and he’s convinced he can’t do this, but the biggest part of the battle is already won. I’m inside of his heart now, just like he is in mine. Now I just need to make him realize it himself and get him to say it out loud.

- I ran like a coward at first, but once I had time to think, fighting for him was the only option.”

- Maintaining eye contact with him, I arch my back as my finger slides up and down on my clit. “Dante, my little pussy is on fire. Can you lick it all better?” The look he gives me is one hundred percent lust filled shock. “Holy. Fucking. Shit. Sabrina, is this really what you want? I’m hanging on by a broken thread over here.” Pulling my finger from my sex, I put it in my mouth and suck my juices off. “Oh yes baby. I know what I want. I want you to fuck me. Hard. Don’t even think about holding back.”

- “Oh my fucking god baby. You’re completely bare and smooth all over! Holy fuck that’s hot.”

- “Oh fuck Dante! Jesus god. That’s fucking incredible. What the hell is happening to me?” Starting to fuck me harder with his fingers, he chuckles. “Oh baby, you’re on fucking fire right now. I’m going to fuck you so hard honey. These fingers are just the tip of the iceberg.”

- My last semi coherent thought is that he’s fucked me literally to death.

- Chuckling, he kisses the corner of my mouth. “The feeling of your orgasm going on and on was so intense and your pussy was like a vise on my cock. Honestly, I almost grayed the fuck out too. I’ve never cum that hard, ever. Only the fear of crushing you to death kept me alert.”

- The guttural sound he lets out lets me know he likes this, and I tell him to bear down and let me in. He follows my instructions and before I know it my finger is all the way inside. He sounds like he’s running a marathon, his breath coming out in harsh pants as I finger him in and out, taking my cue on how fast to move from the speed with which he’s stroking his cock.

- “That was amazing baby. Fucking amazing. I’d never have let anyone else do that to me, but with you, I just went with it. I’m glad I did. You take me places I didn’t know existed.”

- You don’t see yourself clearly, but I do. You’re the man that I want, and I’m fighting for you, fighting for us. Don’t even think of trying to push me away again. I won’t let you.”

- When I thought you were missing, it almost killed me. I’m too selfish to push you away anymore. I don’t ever want to feel that way again. You’re under my skin. I can’t promise this will work out, but I can promise that I’ll try. I won’t run anymore.” Smiling, I kiss him first on the eyelids, then on the nose, then on the lips. “Have a little faith in me, in us. That’s all I ask.”

- He hears what I want and he makes it happen, which is the same thing I do for him.

- “Under two minutes. God I fucking love how responsive you are.”

- It’s like he was built for me and I for him, and I love it. When he’s fully inside of me, I feel it in every fiber of my being.

- I’ve found out during the last several months that he absolutely loves it when I talk dirty to him, and it works like a charm because he’s now really throwing himself in to fucking me hard and fast. “

- Physically I might be the one that gets to be inside, but that’s not what this is. It’s so much stronger than that. You’re just as deep in me as I am in you. I feel you everywhere.”

- The look in his eyes is potent and feral, his face a mask of absolute pleasure as he convulses inside of me.

- Damien chuckles. “Jesus, you two are ridiculous to watch. You can barely keep your hands off of each other. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s actually surprising that you manage to make it through every work day without ravaging each other.” Dante lets out a delighted laugh. “Honestly, there are many days that we don’t… make it through the whole day that is. You have no idea." Dante gives him a mock glare. “Yikes bro, TMI. She’s like a sister to me. I don’t want to think about whatever it is you two do in here when the door is locked. Which now that I think about it happens fairly often these days. Yuck!” Sticking my tongue out at Damien before giving him a smile,

- You’re going to be watching strippers for one weekend, but you live with me every day. I’m not worried.”

- Pulling back, he smiles at me in wonder. “I am really, truly happy with you, every single day. I have no idea how I got so lucky, but I’m beyond thrilled to have you by my side. You make me very, very happy.” Smiling up at him, I nod in agreement. “You make me very happy too. Now take me home and show me just how happy you are right now.”

- “I find I don’t like sleeping without you. You’re my life Sabrina. I couldn’t stand to be away another day. I barely survived Thursday and Friday nights without you.”

- I begin making my way down his body, starting with is neck. I revel in the sound of his moans as I lick and bite his neck. I know how much he loves this, and so do I.

- This drives him insane every time, and it doesn’t fail to do so now. As soon as I swallow the tip of him in to my throat, he gives a loud yell as his cock explodes in to the back of my throat.

- Pulling me up to his face, he kisses me thoroughly before pulling back and asking me, “What will you tell everybody when I cum so hard I die?”

- Spreading my lips with his fingers, he goes down on me like a wild man.

- Holding my hips steady, he pushes forward and I scream. “Fuck! Oh shit that’s fucking intense Dante. Don’t stop.” “Oh honey, I’m not stopping. Bend forward a bit. I’m putting this big cock in your wet cunt and then you’re really going to be full. That’s what you want, isn’t it? To have your ass and your pussy filled. I want you to cum until you can’t cum any more.”

- Growling in pleasure, he says, “Between the clamping of your cunt on my cock and the feeling of this plug working in my ass, I’m about to fucking blow such a load inside of you honey. Are you close?”

- “Not going to lie baby. That plug was pressing a spot in my ass as I was ramming my cock in to you and it was making me almost faint with lust. I liked it a lot. I don’t know why more guys don’t know how fucking hot that is.” Climbing up, I sit on his ass and start rubbing his back. “You fucked me even harder than usual, so I know you liked it. It was fucking amazing. I love that we feel safe with each other to explore our desires. You’re everything I ever wanted in a man. You need to know that I love and adore you more than I ever thought possible. You make me feel things I didn’t know I could. Every day I’m with you, I love you more. I’m in awe of how amazing you are. Thank you for giving your heart to me, and for trusting me with your body. I promise to protect them both.”

- “Sabrina Josette Tyler, from the moment you walked in to my office, you’ve completely changed my life. You’ve made me not just a better man, but a whole man. With you, I’m complete. I want to spend my life with you. I want to have children with you. Everything I am and everything I’m going to be, I’m giving to you. From the moment I saw you, it’s only been you Sabrina and it will only ever be you. Will you do me the incredible honor of becoming my wife?”

- My answer is yes! Of course yes. Always yes. No reservations. You have my heart, and now I can’t wait for you to make me a Hart.”

- Sitting next to me on the bed, he holds me while I get my composure back. “What kind of a wedding do you want, and how long are we going to wait to make this legal?” I laugh at how his mind works. Already he’s chomping at the bit. The man is impossible.

- I want a commitment, something just for us. We can have a party later for everyone else if that’s okay with you.” Nodding his head, he smiles. “This is why I love you. We both feel the same way. The ceremony itself is sacred. I can’t wait to join my life to yours, forever.”

- “That first night, when you were pressed up against this wall and I slid inside of you, I knew I was head over heels, hopelessly in love with you. That first time on the couch, we fucked. But here, we made love. Everything shifted inside of me. It was fucking terrifying.”

This was such a good story that I was taken back that it was free. I saw on twitter that this past weekend it was going to be free for a few days and so I grabbed it. Normally when I get free ebooks I'm kinda bleh about them but this one is great and I'm keeping it on my kindle. I lent my kindle to my friend on Monday so that she could read this book. She returned it to me this afternoon with a big smile on her face and said she loved the story too.

I'm kinda bummed by the few 2 star reviews I see here cause I definitely don't think those are deserved but then again to each his or her own. I was enthralled by the book and was really feeling these two characters. If you don't like hot sex in your books than this isn't for you because Dante and Sabrina have hot and amazing sex pretty damn often through the book but it works for the story and it really helps you realize what their connection is. I laughed with my friend when she dropped it off because this book is about a hundred thousand times hotter than everyones favorite masturbation material 50 shades. The difference is mind boggling. I will be anxiously awaiting the follow up stories from this series. By the end of the book I had fallen a little in love with Damien too and I really hope his story is as good as Dante and Sabrina's was. I was a little scared that maybe he had fallen for Sabrina too but by the end I didnt think that anymore.
The ending to this story was just right.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I loved this book. Very, very well written and this author knows how to write some scalding sex scenes. Great job, Ella Fox! These characters are both very strong characters...they know what they want, they realize that they both have issues, and I wanted to stand up and cheer when Sabrina got back in the car in Las Vegas and went shopping. Oh, so great. I loved this book.

Please note that I marked this for FSOG lovers on my shelves...definitely had some FSOG undertones with the issues that Dante had and the innocence that Sabrina had, but still kept you guessing till the end.

And I am a sucker for a hot shower scene. Yow. FIVE. SOLID. STARS! Can't wait to read Shattered Hart and read about Damien's issues. I was really kind of hoping that Damien and Brooke were going to get together (again, I think it was the FSOG thing in the back of my mind), but this book is absolutely a great one and apparently Brooke and Damien DO get together in his book. I wish I owned it instead of being a borrow from Amazon!

5 Fan-fucking-tastic stars!
Holy hell this book was hot, the author could write scripts for porn ;) The story itself is good, there were a few typo's and errors but that didn't bother me. The sex between Dante & Sabrina, holy fucking hot! It's a short book so some of the scenes go by quick and there was a lot of history & detail in the begining but I think we really needed that in order to understand the relationship the characters already had. The rest of the book, even up to the end, was panty-wetting...no, panty-saturating ;)

I loved this book so much that I took the time to email the author since she had included her email address on her amazon author page. This story captured my heart and my mind. I've read it three times already because it's so unbelievably HOT. Yet it manages to be loin at the same time.

This book amazed me I love Sabrina so much. I am looking forward to Damien's story but I'd also love a Dante and Sabrina sequel. These two sizzled right off the page.

Read this several months ago...it was a freebie on Amazon. I love friends to lovers stories and this was a good one. I actually read it a few times because its a very quick read. I just saw that book 2 was free on Amazon a few days ago, but I missed it :( Hoping that they offer it again soon.

I downloaded this book for free off of Amazon, so I thought I would give it a chance. I'm sorry to say that I found it dissipointing. Firstly, I found the first person, present tense narration kind of irritating. Or maybe it was just the MC that I couldn't connect with? Whatever it was, something just wasn't working for me. I didn't mind the premise of the story, and I thought it had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it just fell flat for me.

A few additional notes: I found Dante's personally to be a bit dorky, especially for someone who's supposed to be a wealthy, cool, sexy, alpha male. For example, the fist pump and yelling "yes" during the scene when they are in bed together. Umm.. yuck. I also found the conversations between them to be stilted and unnatural. Although the sex scenes were very steamy (and there were many), I found myself cringing at some of the "dirty talk" between them. It just wasn't working for me.

Anyways, I am only one person, and this is only my opinion. I'm sure many people will enjoy this book. It just wasn't for me.

Get out a fan, line up some ice water or a rendezvous for later. This book is HOT, and backed up with a good story! I REALLY liked it, despite some weaknesses.

The book's description accurately depicts the basic plot.

What I liked:
-the genuine affection and human emotion depicted
-that the author didn't fall into the trap of making a man interested in Sabrina (h) early in the story a stalker... I am getting sick of that schtick
-the high level of detail provided with regards to Sabrina's shoes and other attire- it is apparent that our girl the author is a shopper, and it added personality to the story
-the H Damon is likeable in spite of his weaknesses
-the very very hot romance and highly erotic sex scenes

What I didn't care for:
-typos
-missing punctuation
-1st person combined with inconsistencies of tenses

This highly erotic romance wasn't merely a delivery system for headboard slammin' sex. The author was able to elicit emotion from me as a reader that most erotic romance writers do not even attempt. I am looking forward to reading more from this author and watching her writing mature, or her selling enough books to score a professional editor.

This review has spoilers........

This book had so much potential. I rated it a 3.75 star book since It was good enough I got through it. I liked the family dynamic and their past stories. I even was happy with the lead male... the female wasn't my favorite person. Then there's the sex, OMG lots of sex. It was hot don't get me wrong yet I had to started skimming past those moments. Sex became the focus and not enough of character development or story building.

What killed me most is when I got to the point of liking where they were headed and the most romantic moment was coming they go and us a "plug", for he first time. Then that moment from behind when he's thrusting and her moans turn into screams he says "I love you" for the FIRST TIME!! Oh and right after he asks her to get married. I waited 230 pages out of 250 to get to this moment and that just happened.

If someone I trusted tells me the next book in this series gets better and shows the authors growth I'd believe them, and might pick it up since I did like all the supporting characters.

I grabbed this book while it was Free & let me tell you it would have been worth the $3.99 it costs now this is one Hot Book!
Lots of raunchy sex- almost too much but not quit.
Dante was up front with Sabrina from the get go about not doing the relationship thing but he sure wasn't acting like he didn't want that so it was confusing for Sabrina when Dante flat out said that the thing between them would just run it course- truly heart breaking. Sabrina did what any self respecting girl would do and walked away. My stomach was in knots with this heart break. Just when I thought Dante was coming around to his senses he broke her heart again (and mine too). You will have to read it to find out if it will work out for them in the end and if Dante can actually let go of his silly allusion that he will never have a relationship and be in love. Great ending.
