This is a fast read and for some reason I felt like it was rushed when you got closer towards the end of the book. The story starts off good but just as you are getting into it, it starts to die down and for me it left me wanting for more. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 3 stars.

A quick, spicy read! I loved the authentic sense of place and the vivid, relatable characters. Bevan delivers a fast-paced romance packed with clever twists, emotional depth, and a perfectly satisfying ending. Brava!

I know this was supposed to be a quick read and it definitely was. However, the story (albeit short) left me saying "Meh".

This was my first read of a "micro-romance" and it was great! The setting and characters are so well drawn and The romance was hot and steamy. A great read!

Ms Bevan's writing was exceptional. I love setting in a story, so I thoroughly enjoyed the settings in Turkey, a country I haven't visited. The main characters were engaging, but the story was too short to allow the story to continue at a pace I would have liked. This story could support a much longer novel. I confess I was surprised, shocked and disappointed in the rushed ending which seemed unrealistic to me.

This story captivated me from the opening lines. It is so well written that the reader easily loses themselves in the narrative and is transported to a world and a time that invades the senses to the point of complete immersion. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Strong characters and a great story line. I can't wait to read more work from Deniz either. I just couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. I was very well entertained and excited reading it.
