My life was boring until I met him.Painfully tedious, pathetically lonely, and I absolutely hated it.But I was too scared to do anything about it. Too scared to change . . . at least until I met Kace.I should have been terrified of him—scared of his size (he towered over my short, curvy self), freaked out by the fierce tats covering his arms and torso (they even crawled up his neck), and … up his neck), and definitely frightened by the angry scowl he unleashed on anyone who dared to disrupt him (though this happened rarely, it still did happen).
Except, Kace seemed to like me—shy, boring, socially inept me. He couldn’t change the tats or the towering, but he rarely unleashed his trademark scowl on me.
Okay, so maybe it was more like he tolerated me, but regardless, Kace didn’t seem to care that I hung around the bar he worked at, putting my night owl tendencies to work as I wrote.
See, my work was the only place I explored. My safe place to write as dirty and steamy and kinky of books as I wanted.
My readers loved them—loved the hot sex, the tough alphas, the guaranteed happy endings. As thus, I made good money, only somewhat because I was a decent writer, but mostly because my imagination was very active, beyond active . . . some might even say too active.
As for me personally? I’d never experienced anything close to the types of things I wrote.
But I’d decided it was time to change that.
With scowly, sexy, terrifying Kace.

This was a fun quick read about an overly shy author and the alpha man she falls in love with. It definitely wasn’t what I thought it would be but I still really enjoyed it. I liked Harper a whole lot. She reminds me of myself to a point, but also of so many women I know. She had lost so much in her past and hadn’t pushed past the pain. She didn’t believe she was good enough or even beautiful enough for a man as “hot” as Kace. But she was all that and more, especially when she finally started to shine. Now let’s talk about Kace. I liked him a lot. He was sweet, kind, and all the women thought he was hot. He had his own past which defined him but he came alive with Harper. Their relationship was fast paced but I kind of have to agree with Kace when he said that they already had 6 months of foreplay.
Now there were two parts of this story that I wasn’t sure about. I wasn’t so sure about the Tabatha part. I’m sure the author wanted to add a bit of drama but honestly the story could have easily survived without it. Then there was Steven. That was just stupid. I’m sorry, it’s been 10 years. He had no right to step in there and cause drama and he was stupid for thinking that he did.
Other than those few moment I thought this book was pretty decent and am looking forward to the next book already. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
