Shark’s Edge

Sebastian Shark and Abbigail sure set the pages on fire in this first installment of this new series by this writing duo who have written other books together. Unfortunately, I haven’t read any of those other books but I’m sure interested in reading them now! This is an exciting, intriguing, passionate sexy read but fair warning, this is not a standalone. I’m excited and anxious to read the upcoming installments in this series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Shark’s Edge is the first book in this series, so hang on, this is going to be a series you don’t want to miss!
This first book is a fast paced story with a slow burn of passion that is building between Abbi and Sebastian. I really like these two characters. They are complete opposites that are drawn towards each other like magnets. No matter what Sebastian throws at Abbi to push her away he always feels the need to bring her back into his space.
Sebastian Shark is the dark, brooding bad boy type and there is so much we still don’t know and understand about him. What we do know is that the sweet, sassy Abbi has completely turned his life upside down and he has no idea what to do with the feelings he has towards her.
Abbi is so innocent compared to Sebastian. She should probably be afraid of him but instead she is drawn to him and she definitely keeps him on his toes. She challenges him and speaks to him like no one else ever has which is part of what draws him to her.
This may be the end of the book but there is so much more to their story and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

My favorite quote from Abbi: ‘He melted me with his contrition. Gutted me with his naughtiness. Rocked me with his growling protectiveness—before turning me to mush with his dominant passion.’

This is the first book by this author that I have read and now I’m hooked!! Sebastian Shark and Abbigail Gibson are incredible!!! Great story!!! I’m hooked….bring on book 2!!

Fantastic!

I absolutely loved this! Both of these authors are new to me so I was a little hesitant going on and boy was I surprised. This is edgy, sexy and exciting.

Sebastian is simply amazing. He’s the total alpha, extremely gorgeous and all around Mr Bossy pants. And I love him! Yes, love.

Abbigail is young, runs her own business and totally consumed by this man. Together these two will set the place on fire.

This is a great start to what is going to be an addictive series. Something is going on and who is behind is still to be seen. Oh yes, you will have your suspensions but we will have to wait and see. Very excited about the next book.

Shark’s Edge is phenomenal. A mixture of suspense, passion, mystery, and of course romance. From page one till the very end, I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t help but fall in love with these characters and I’m so deeply invested in these characters’ lives, and the world the authors have created. Completely addicted!

It was a given that I would love the book, what wasn’t expecting was just how much I would love it, and just how much it would consume me. I am obsessed with this plot, these characters, and the suspense! It’s kept me on my toes.

Sebastian Shark is a self-made billionaire, who has built his empire at a young age and succeeded in doing so. He is arrogant, dominant and alpha as they come. He’s the type of man that will bring a woman to her knees with just one look, and if I’m honest, I’ll gladly be that woman. He’s in a league of his own and the authors pieced together the perfect man in my eyes. At first, he is very straight forward and extra arrogant, but I think that’s what first had me so fixated on him but as the story unfolds, you start to see different sides to him, but one thing is for sure. That arrogance in him is never really that far away.
It goes without saying just how much I freaking loved Sebastian. The alpha males these authors write are some of the best alpha male romances I’ve ever read and this book just raised that bar so epically high!

Abbigail Gibson is also a self-made business owner. She owns her own catering company and works alongside her best friend Rio. Abbi delivers to several places throughout LA, and Sebastian Shark is one of them. Abbi has been lusting over Mr. Shark for a while now. Every day she delivers him his lunch, she gets a glimpse at the man that she can’t help but fantasizes about. Little did she know that everything she wanted and was lusted over wanted her too. She had caught his eye too…

I LOVE ABBI!
She wasn’t one of those over the top sassy, strong, outspoken heroines 0r a weak one either, she was human, she had flaws, she had emotions… just like all of us… She had insecurities. I could relate to her on so many levels and as much as I love a strong and fierce heroine, it was refreshing to read one that I could relate to in some way.

As the story unfolds, we watch these two play tug of war with each other and their feelings and the sexual tension rises and they can’t seem to keep away from each other. Sebastian is ruthless when it comes to Abbi. He’s domineering and controlling and protective. The push and pull and the chemistry between these two pulsated around them every time they were in the same room. It was intoxicating and had me squirming in my seat.

But, things are never that easy are they? So much happened throughout book one, it had my head spinning. I loved these characters SO MUCH. Sebastian’s dominant, controlling, arrogant side, and Abbi’s innocence, yet she carried herself with pride.

The secondary characters play such a massive roll in this first book that it has me intrigued on where the authors are going to go with them too.

I went into this book open-minded. Expecting nothing and everything all in one and I got EVERYTHING and more and what transpires just in the first book is what really sets this series up and what I predict will be an epic ride full of twists and turns and heart-pounding events that will keep us on the edge of our seats.

I am hooked. Completely hooked.

I can’t recommend this enough.
This is my TOP read for 2019. Without a doubt!

6/5 Stars!

Shark’s Edge should’ve been a book I’d enjoy. There’s suspense with things happening right from the start to make you start looking for suspects, and there are a couple of decent candidates for that. Then, there’s the romance, and in the beginning, I thought this couple would be at the least entertaining. I suppose they were for a little while, and then they started to get on my nerves. At about the same time, they started to bore me. The will they or won’t they got old way before the halfway mark, and that still left about another 150 or so pages to go. The suspense just wasn’t enough to save the rest for me. Then we get to the end, and I won’t say it’s a major cliffy – it might have been had I cared about this couple, but as it stands, it’s more of the back and forth, on-again, off-again that got on my nerves in the first place. This whole thing was just a little too much like a Fifty Shades knock-off, and in the end, I didn’t care enough about either plotline to continue with the rest of the series. I barely made it through this first one, so I can’t imagine going through all that push and pull between Abbigail and Sebastian for another two books.
