Monday, March 10, 2014

**Debut new adult author S.C. Ellington knocks it out of the park with this steamy contemporary romance!

After a horrific breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.

In an attempt to escape her heartbreaking past, Brooklyn seeks refuge in bustling Washington, D.C. where she folds into the fast-paced society unnoticed…until she meets a young entrepreneur, Logan Colton.

Brooklyn is surprised to find that while she has been successful in keeping the opposite sex at bay, somehow she is defenseless against Logan’s confidence and charm—and it doesn’t hurt that he is absurdly beautiful.

As much as Logan didn’t plan on pursuing her, he is drawn to Brooklyn’s muted beauty and her witty persona. For all his success, Logan is ensnared in the coveted world of unequivocal wealth and power, but behind closed doors is taunted by his own demons and an undeniable need to atone for a monumental mistake.

As the two embark on a tumultuous obstacle course saturated with unknown twists and turns, Brooklyn is left to question whether she can endure the journey ahead.

~~I received a free ARC in exchange for an honest review~~

I started reading this book, when I received the ARC. That was probably mid-February, I just finished it last night. The story line was good, there were some topics that I am not a fan of, and some prejudice slurs, that I do not like at all.

I was pulled in at the beginning of the story, and then the story just went flat. It was the pretty mundane, from the middle of the book until the last few pages, and then BAM!! S.C. completely takes yo by surprise and slaps you across the face with a "are you freaking kidding me, that did NOT just happen". The last few pages had me hooked, like really hooked. I wish that much passion and excitement was throughout the entire book.

I gave this a 3 out of 5 kisses because this was a book that I could put down and come back to when I had the time. The middle of the book dragged, and it was repetitive. If the caliber of the excitement that was at the end of the book was throughout the middle of the book, then the rating would be high.

S.C. writes like She knows what it is like to be in those characters shoes. Like She knows first hand the words and the feelings that she expresses in the book.

With how the ending was left, I can't wait for the second book to come out! Major Cliffhanger!!
