MY THOUGHTS:

Read this in one sitting and I loved it! The very second our hero first laid eyes on our heroine, sparks flew. Yep. Insta-love, baby. I know people are probably tired of reading about "insta-love" in romance novels but I have no complaints given that this is a short story and I absolutely enjoyed it.

Griffin was such an alpha male and I fucking love the shit out of him. He may have been a jerk at first—treating the heroine badly and all—but he has his reasons to justify his actions and rude behavior towards our heroine when they first met that will make you go from hating him to wanting to cradle him in your arms and just hold him tight. The moment he saw her, he wanted her in his bed. When he had her, he went from cold to sweet to "I can't keep my hands off her" and to "I want her to stay with me forever." He was OTT jealous and possessive, didn't want another man looking at what belonged to his. And I loved the fact that he didn't wear protection with the heroine, where he always wore one with other women in the past.

On the other hand, I was a bit confused with the heroine, Annabella. One moment she was shy and sweet, then the next she was throwing an attitude. And the plot twist that suddenly came out of nowhere had me arching a brow. Other than that, it was still an entertaining read.

If you're looking for a quick read to spice up your time with insta-love, a bunch of smutty sex scenes, hot-as-hell dirty talks, a sweet virginal heroine and an OTT possessive hero with extreme caveman tendencies who will do anything in his might to keep his woman, you're in luck! This book fits just right up your alley and I guarantee it would be worth your while. You might need extra panties though, because this one is panty-dropping hot. *winks*
