T.C. Anthony

It's started ... well, not horribly, but I'm really not sure if I should bother continuing to read this book. The language is far more English than American, considering it's based in NYC and is over the top, too. The main character reminds me of a chicken with its head cut off and her actions just don't seem to make sense most of the time.

I finally gave up on the book at 65%. The text had become a little less flowery but ... it just didn't interest me. I found myself skipping the sex scenes to find out what happens and realized I didn't care.… (mer)

Eva and Alexander have become one of my favorite book couples! Oh the agony! Oh the steamy encounters! Oh the love they both run from! What is with the theme of denying love? Do we tend to do that? Eva is the alpha male in this relationship... And she refuses to allow this relationship to happen. I almost don't like her, but there is something about her you have to like. And oh, Alexander, how I feel for him. My heart broke for him so many times that I lost count! I felt the need to bitch slap Eva a few times... Wake her up, smack some sense in to her! This book is an emotional roller coaster. There were points that I really wanted off this ride (and that is in a good way)! But there were times where I truly enjoyed the bumpy and twisty ride Eva took us on. Yes, Eva took us on this ride. Alexander is the passenger and Eva is the conductor! Again, here I am banging my head against the wall... hoping and praying that she will wake up and accept what Alexander has to offer her. If she doesn't want him, she can send him my way, for sure!… (mer)

I am going to do this review a little different. My feelings on this book are very indifferent. I liked this book, but at the same time I didn’t like this book. So, I think I will just give you some of the thoughts that ran through my head throughout the book.
In the beginning, I was all for this story. Eva was spiraling out of control. She couldn’t eat. She couldn’t sleep. She was desperate to forget her pain. She was willing to do anything to get the pain out of her heart and mind. I was right with her. I saw the train wreck coming. I couldn’t wait for Alexander to sweep in and knock some sense in to her.
Once Anthony saved the day, there is the “agreement.” As always, I wanted to slap Eva. She accepts a relationship with Anthony on his terms, yet she still keeps running. Why? Why must she always run? Man, I wanted to smack her.
Enter good old, Los Angeles California in all of its glory. This is where the story started took a dive. I was losing interest, FAST! So now we are at the Gossip Girls/Real Housewives/Melrose Place drama. I really had to force myself through all of this. I wanted to smack multiple bitches, and I found myself becoming extremely disinterested in the story.
Eventually, the book redeemed itself. We were back on track. All was right with the world… Enter the scare. What scare? Well, I can’t tell you that. I am not a spoiler. I was back to hanging on every word. Here is also the point I now wanted to smack Anthony. Stupid men. I am shaking my head now thinking about this part of the book. But, as always, we have Eva taking off AGAIN! But to be honest, I was almost with her, but not quite. I think I would have pushed her into a wall or something for over reacting again.
Then I heard wedding bells. Everyone came together and all was good. Some issues were resolved, a wedding ensued without any drama… Everyone was happy. The one thing nagging me came to light. It came at the end, and I was left there holding my Kindle with my jaw on the floor. Now before this ending, I was still deciding whether or not I was looking forward to the next book in this series. The ending decided it. Hook, line and sinker. I am now anticipating the third book. Not sure when it will be out, but I will be looking for it.… (mer)
