So when I started reading this book I thought it was book three of Raine's story.  No, it is not, but I was not at all disappointed.  Actually I was very pleasantly surprised, it is written form Cora's POV.  The story continues, but we focus on Cora and her very mysterious friend Echo.  I enjoyed Cora's shenanigans in the first book I was glad to see how she comes up with all this stuff.  I guess is like a bridge or spin off novel to the Runes series which only makes me love it more.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. I'm a fan of the Entangled brand including the Indulgence lines. I know I'm not going to get a bad book when I read them, but this book really surprised me in a good way.

The book starts out in the male perspective of Blake, the image consultant hell bent on purchasing an L.A. PR firm to add to his empire. He's been told his purchase hinges on whether or not he can fix a Martha Stewart type celebrity chef/homemaker's image.

The person needing an image fix is Kirin. She's stuck in an image created by her late husband and feels that any type of change is a betrayal to him and their fans. She's tired of being guided by the men in her life and wants to handle the problem on her own.

What I found so surprising was the inner workings of the characters. It was almost as though there was a role reversal. Kirin had the image mentality of the typical male in these novels, and Blake the female. Blake was in no way feminine but his knowledge and beliefs were more in tune with what the typical female would have. It made the book less predictable. He also seemed to acknowledge his feelings first. It was nice to not know what they were going to do next. Because of that I would totally recommend it.

The only thing I would have liked more of was the Trent situation. He disappeared off the planet so quickly and I would have liked more info/action considering how much it was referenced.

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I THINK I 'BORROWED' THIS BOOK FOR FREE FROM THE AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS KINDLE LIBRARY - I DIDN'T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS, I DON'T KNOW WHY, MAYBE BECAUSE I'M SO USED TO READING 'NAME' AUTHORS, I JUST WASN'T EXPECTING VERY MUCH.  BUT I WAS SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.  I BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE YOUNG MAN CHARACTER VERY QUICKLY SYMPATHIZING WITH THIS YOUNG MAN WHO'D LOST HIS DAD AT SUCH AN IMPORTANT STAGE OF HIS LIFE.  THEN WHEN HE HAD HIS 'MOMENT' IN THE SUBWAY, OR TRAIN, STATION, I WAS REALLY HOOKED AND COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE IF HE'D IMAGINED IT OR IF HE REALLY SAW WHAT HE THOUGHT HE SAW.  I UNDERSTAND THIS BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES, HOPEFULLY IT WASN'T THE LAST ONE IN THE SERIES, AS I'D LIKE TO READ OTHERS TO SEE WHAT BUILT UP TO THE ENDING OF 'LAST STOP'.

I read the review and wasn't going to purchase the book for I haven't read anything by this author. However, for the price I couldn't go wrong. I was truly pleasantly surprised by the story and the main characters. Max, I found was not arrogant and truly liked his character. Julia was a little selfish but realized it and got herself together.
I'm glad this is one review I didn't listen to but went with my gut. I will be looking to read more by this author in the near future. Get a sample of the book if you have the Nook. Or just take the chance I did. You won't be disappointed. Just keep an open mind.

After a short break from m/m fiction to read other things, I dove back in with this offering. It was free and sounded intriguing so I figured I'd give it a try. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was very pleased. The writing is tight and well done and the characters are very likable.  Though it took a while for them to get together, that was part of the fun of reading this delightful short story.  I could picture it all quite well and I was hoping that Jay and Devin would finally get it together. As this short story ends, we see an HEA looming brightly in their future.

I'd love a sequel!

When I started the first book I was very skeptical that I would enjoy it, but I became very hooked on the characters. Not my normal genre at all, but looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
