Lots of ex drama.
This was a mixed bag for me.
She had no reason to believe he would change but the constant on/off mostly due to other girls/exes etc was too much, if you are going to give it a go you need to give things a go, if there is an issue, talk things through instead of breaking things off or running away.
The heroine to me came across as immature.
The 'Hero' hid so much but how did he put it 'I didn't lie' but he omitted loads, not telling her the whole truth and leaving huge gaps. This makes it hard to trust him.

I love this book and series. I will be reading the rest of this series. The author reminds me a lot of Kristen Ashley! ( )

!!!MY SHELVES CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!

Loved the premise.
Could not put this book down despite the points I don't like.
Will definitely try this author again.

You know, I thought this would be a perfect 3.5 star read but then the whole second half of the book happened and I am gladly rounding it up to 4 stars.

I'm just not the type of reader who falls for a manwhore character, and this book had plenty of them. The whole sharing the girls thing was just... you know, gross.

However - Kade and James. OMG. JAMES, I need to know more about you!
I love the way the authors sort of set up all these secondary characters - they made you love them, throwing bits and pieces of their stories in but not making it about them. I really really loved James and I barely know anything about him! Actually, maybe that's why...

I thought Layla and Chase had good chemistry. It's a bit of an insta-love, but not really because of the way they set it up.
They compliment each other really well, and I thought that it was believable he would change for her - by the end of the book the poor guy was just plain whipped.

Truth be told, I kind of spent the book hating on him. I love my alpha male hero but he was just... alpha male to the max. I did learn to love him by the end because I understood him better.

The book has quite a few LOL moments and I already mentioned I liked the secondary characters. The heroine is strong willed and snarky, though a virginal one. I found myself interested in Nikki and Sasha's stories as well, and even the wicked witch that is Aubrey. Seriously, she's a psycho.

There are a couple of mildly graphic sex scenes in the book, and a lot of cursing.

A couple of things that bothered me were just a brief switch of POV now and again, many, many typos that sort of distracted me from the story. The beginning felt a little rushed.

Overall, I have to say I did enjoy Chase a lot more than I thought I would. And since this is a debut novel I'm expecting a lot more from Kade. ( )
