Good story but could of been great
So this story could have been great. It was too easy figuring out who the main character was of the 3 that murdered her mom. I figured out who his brother was that was easy but Braylons betrayal was crazy. He acts offended when she stops speaking to him, however it was actually warranted considering what he has done.
There's spelling mistakes. Over half of the chapters didn't even have chapter it was just a long of run on sentences. So not sure if that was a formatting issue.
There really isn't an ending... And things were left up in the air... I mean come on Grayson allowed Braylons and the friend like was like a brother to him rape her at the dinner. Is she seriously going to stay with him? We don't know because it is not said.

I read a lot of books. Like a lot! This would be book number 133 this year and i never rate a book below a 2 but I have to say this is the worst book I have ever had the misfortune of reading for a number of reasons. 1) This book literally looks like a child has written it. The bad grammar and punctuation had me wanted to burn my eyes out. And that’s before I even start on the way it was laid out in chapters 1-5. 2) The time skips. It was hard to tell when hours or days had passed because the sentences just ran together. 3) The entire book was mainly just conversation, and bad communication at that. When anyone else was speaking, their words were put in speech marks. But when the main character Lexie was speaking, her words were put in italics? Why the author chose to do this is anyone’s guess but it made the book hard to read. 4) Clearly, the author has read a lot of books herself to draw ideas. But it seems to me like she took loads of plot lines from other books and tried to ram them all into hers to make a good storyline but instead just ended up having her book all over the place. 5) The spice scenes weren’t necessary because they read like they were written by a teenage girl going through puberty.
This is before I even get to the bad plot. In chapter 1 I figured out this book was going to go. I figured out the bad characters. I figured out the reason why. The only reason I kept reading this book is because I never DNF a book no matter how bad it is. I have to know what happens and how it ends and I have to know if I was correct in my suspicions. Especially when I wasted £8 of my hard earned money on it. Turns out, I was correct. Shock!
This book could have been good. The blurb had me hooked and the premise of it could have been an amazing story. But the author just doesn’t have the “thing” that other authors have. This story should have stayed on her laptop and been a home project that never saw the light of day without a proper publisher or editor. This book had me so mad that I was forcing myself to read this rubbish, that I ranted to my friends consistently about it for the last two days. The only good thing it has going for it was that it was 200 pages and the cover was beautiful. So sorry Author. You tried. You really did. But it fell short. I don’t see writing as a career choice for you.

Dear Author,
I have to be honest. I almost gave this story a 1-2 star review until I realized that this is your first story. This story had a lot of potential. It actually grabbed my attention a few times. The the Diner scene for instance was Spectacular! It was very vivid and palpable.
Because I don’t usually have any time to actually sit and read, I use Alexa app to read it to me. The story sounded good. Once I actually opened KU to continue to read the story I had a WTF is this moment.
This story did not seem like it was edited at all! There were so many missing periods and quotations missing. I did not know half the time who was actually speaking.
Anyway….I’m giving this story a 3.5-4 only because I believe that with proper editing team your future stories can thrive.
Good luck!

That cliffhanger has my heart rate skyrocketing...
Although I really enjoyed reading this book, I do wish it wasn’t so rushed. The story line was phenomenal but it felt like everything was happening too quickly. I loved the characters and the mystery behind the whole book. It will definitely keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. You can’t help but to fall in love with Grayson, so I can't blame Lex on that. He is like the perfect fit for Lex. Lex and Ethan were good together but I keep thinking that there was something missing and Grayson filled that void for Lex. The romance/smut was really good also. Definitely will give some butterflies downstairs on some of those scenes. Ha Ha!

so many things wrong!
The spelling was atrocious, the story line so unbelievable even if fantasy was in your head. The dad leaves knowing she’s in danger? Falling in love after a week? The boyfriend letting her leave to spend a week with a guy she doesn’t know and as a cop, he doesn’t do a background check? Nothing made sense. Holding her against a wall but then his hands are on her breasts? Sex on the freeway? Even if it’s a translation, no one proofread this?

I had the honor of editing this book (the new version will be available eventually) but I wanted to express how much I absolutely loved it. What happens in the beginning is wild and took me off guard. The banter between Lexie, Greyson, Ethan, and other characters I won't mention was great. I was yelling out loud at some points. The spice had my glasses fogging up, too (especially the car hood scene- YEW!). Can't wait to read the next book.

I think this story had potential to be great but there was alot mistakes in the writing? Spelling, grammar, how the conversations ran into each other, I didn't know who was speaking in the book. It was very confusing. It seemed like a teenager might of written it? But I do think if the author gets a better editor and get some arc reader's feedback it will be better. The story plot was good.

I am so glad book 2 is out because that ending did me in! Lexie Clarke went through hell and back. That poor girl! I guessed on who Greyson really was about 75% of the way through the book, but that did sway me. I needed to know what happened next. This book pulled me in and wouldn’t let go! Book 2 here I come!

I really like the start of the book. My only problem is that Ethan deserved a better ending honestly. I get where he’s coming from. Plus that ending!? Holyyy. I need to read the next one asap ( + get my blood pressure checked )
