***I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review***
Going into this book, I was hoping the Prologue hadn't already given too much of the story away. But Ben and Emmy turned out to be better than I expected. Especially Ben (or Bennn)! His dirty talking definitely added some spice to the book. His attraction to Emmy may have come off as predictable, but reading from his POV made the story that much more interesting.
Emmy was a relatable character. I'll never be the fashion queen and will never model clothing. She stuck by who she was and her roots.
Fiona as the villain, I hated Fiona. HATED her. She was predictable in her actions as most jealous females are, but what she ends up doing to Ben and HIS excuses for it happening, I don't think that Emmy should ever forgive her. Of course, Fiona is who she is and I'm sure no one would believe her to be capable of such wrong.
The sex in this book wasn't over the top either. There is the interesting M/F/M threesome that occurs and it definitely had it's place in the story and the relationship between Ben and Emmy.
There was a lot I liked about this book. There were a lot of hot and sexy moments, a lot of sweet moments, and a lot of Fiona-crazy moments. I'm ready for the next book to come out. Not everything was answered in this book, but I also didn't find the ending to be one of those "throwing my e-reader against the wall" moments.
