Livy notices him the moment he walks into the coffee shop. He’s heart-stoppingly stunning, with a blue-eyed gaze so piercing she’s almost too distracted to take his order. When he walks out the door, she thinks she’ll never see him again. Then she finds the note he left on his napkin… signed M.
All he wants is one night to worship her. No feelings, no commitment, nothing but pleasure. Every defense mechanism Livy has adopted during her solitary life is at risk of being obliterated by this confounding man. He’s obnoxious but well-mannered. He’s a gentleman but aloof. He’s passionate but emotionless. Yet the fascination is so powerful, Livy can’t deny him… or herself.
M awakens something in Livy, something deep and addictive that she never knew existed-and that she fears only he can satisfy. But she senses that behind the fast cars, fancy suits, and posh apartment, he’s aching inside. To have him, body and soul, she’ll have to brave his dark secrets. Delving into his world and breaking down his defenses become her obsession-an obsession that could shatter her heart beyond repair…
First and foremost, for clarification, I would definitely recommend this book as 18+. There is definitely sexual content.
Secondly, I really want to like this book, but some things are nagging at me.
“M” reminds me
a lot
of Christian Grey. There isn’t bondage or that type of sexual content, but his personality in the beginning. I immediately thought this would be another “knock off” romance of
50 Shades
. Fortunately, it was not.
I really hated putting the book down because I was always wondering what was coming or what would happen or what mood “M” would be in and what would become of that and I really wanted to get to the end to see the end result.
Let me just say, right now, I have no clue how it ends because it doesn’t. Which for me is quite upsetting because I want the next book. Now.
I felt that this read was full of drama. A lot of up and down. Hot and cold. You could never predict what was going to happen because it really was unpredictable.
I rated it a 3.5 because of the constant back and forth emotionally drama (hey, that’s a lot of drama when you are as wrapped up in the characters as I am!) I liked the book, it just isn’t my typical romance read; however, I do look forward to reading what comes next.
