October 29, 2015Never judge a book by how many abs are on the cover.
You'd think I would have learnt this lesson by now. But I saw that cover and was all.....
This was horrible.
Douchefacekiller, also known as Edge, refers to our leading lady (I don't even know her name because I was too angry about Edge being a douchecanoe) by the following terms within the first 22 pages:
pretty piece
poor girl
beautiful creature
the little tart
pretty little thing
evil princess
moody vixen
He calls her these names in his head, while being an asshole and touching her without her permission, telling her what to wear and just yelling at her in general.
And what does our leading lady do when they next meet? She apologizes to HIM for the way she acted when they first met and goes about trying to make him see that she is, and I quote, "not a skimpy clothes wearing tramp."
WHAT?!
You are an independent woman and can wear WHATEVER YOU WANT ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY. WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS. AND WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM MAKE YOU THINK THAT WEARING WHAT YOU WANT IS A BAD THING.
Not okay.
Oh also the writing was atrocious and I wanted to get my red pen out something FIERCE.
Fuck this shit.
Did not finish at page 35.
This makes three stinkers in a row now, my Abstastic Ab Loving Geishas .
Here's hoping the next one is better? Gosh, it surely can't be much worse than this.

I really enjoyed the romance aspect of this book.

I’m sorry to say this but this was just a waste of time for me, even if the story was short. I couldn’t really find anything that worked or drew me in, the writing was so detached and, well, strange and the interactions awkward at best.
The worst part is that had this plot been in better hands it might actually had been something. It had very interesting aspects like the witness protection program, the main characters being neighbors getting of on the wrong foot, the assault and the former navy SEAL. All of this however just became blah in this book, mainly because of the writing being so stilted, repetitive and lacking so much depth, which also translated to the characterization. It being that there was none. The characters had no depth or personality to them and every interaction between the two was like how a kid thinks grownups in love talks to each other. And when it wasn’t that it was over the top sexual attraction and descriptions. It was very strange to say the least and made it seriously difficult seeing any romance or connection that supposedly developed between them.
The only time that I felt that the story actually tried for some depth was when they talked about what happened or their past. This sadly, like everything else just felt off. In Edge’s case it came of as a big self-boosting spiel of how masculine and awesome he was, and in Calli’s case it was very bipolar. One second she had to keep it to herself and stay away to protect Edge, the next she jumped on the chance of hanging with the guy no issue whatsoever. Her constantly hinting at her past and not revealing anything also came across as seeking pity or attention. In both characters cases this was very off putting.
This book’s only saving grace is the fact that I had read way worse books, and the fact that it was short, I guess. All in all I give it two stars.

I received this book from the Hurricane Readers group in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. Though it is shorter then I expected since the book ends with a large percentage left since the author gives a glimpse into other books at the end of the book. It also ends in a cliffhanger. I can't wait to keep reading book 2 to see what happens next.

The writing felt kind of detached, but it was still interesting; however, I didn't connect with this story nor the main characters. There were several error mistake and definitely in need of an editor one ex:(dog name changed from Colt to Max). The story ends around 40 % in book, then samples of another story takes up the remainder of the book so not 200 pages.

What do you do when you find yourself in the witness protection program & have to wait every dY out until the trial. When all you want is your life back
Hurricane readers book review gave me the book for my honest review

Great idea, loved Colt. Felt like there was a lot of build up and...nothing. I'm all about series and cliffhangers but each part of the series needs depth. Perhaps extending the story line some would really make it good.
Positive...talented author, well edited great promise

So mad
This was starting out to be a great book, good story. Then boom, it's done without warning, with so many questions. To be continued. I won't be reading then next book....it wasn't even at 50% when the book finished.

Awesome! Can't wait to get 2 and 3!

“Drug” has no place in any conjugation of the verb to drag... but it was used over and over. Totally lost me any enjoyment in the story, plus nothing was solved. I would have to read the next two books in the series to get any kind of resolution.
