I came across this book by accident and I'm so glad I did. This story is so addictive and the characters (I felt I knew them) & plot are so well written. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop :) The main characters in the story are so involved and complex, not at all like some of the other 'fluff' books that are out at the moment. There is certainly some surprises through out the book and the authors keep you intrigued with different stories within the main story. I like that the book is not short and there is going to be a sequel, can't wait for that.

Don't know what I was expecting... but the writing was a very pleasant  surprise. So often on these Kindle Unlimited you get some pretty lousy wanna be writers. This was a joy to read.  Loved all the characters  and the story. Even though you KNOWS what Des is up to (seducing his way to her heart), he's not just trying to get in her pants... unlike so many other stories.  I love he is the King of the Dark, but he is never anything but a man of integrity and heart.  I loathe the term soulmate, but for some reason with him, it just fits.  Regardless of her age when they meet, he is so sweet with her, and never inappropriate  despite the authors use of otherworldly  approval of "at 16 I'm an adult"....

Looking so forward to more about Des and Callie, and going to go look for more work by this author, as this is my first.

I breezed through this story!  Such amazing writing and flows smoothly.  I amuse there'll be another book on the series, and would be thoroughly upset if there isn't because it is just that good!

Love the writing. Love the story. Love the passion and connection. You really feel the characters.  The book is light and fun but so touching at the same time. Great read.

I'm always so happy when I find an author who writes my kind of book to curl up with and be engrossed in. This is such a story and I've already got the second one lined up to go.
I'll let other reviewers try to recap the story, but will be happy to recommend this to others who enjoy a well-written, intriguing story that unfolds through the whole book and resolves all relevant story lines while leaving the reader wanting more about the main and supporting characters.
So glad I found a new author to follow.

Just finished the second book and really loving this series. Characters are engaging and believable and the storyline(s) are well-crafted.
Add to that the fact that Kalquist is a remarkably talented singer/songwriter and writes a new song for each book and you have quite the package here. Kalquist's songwriting is evocative and beautiful, much like her Kindle works and you should definitely sign up for her newsletter and download the MP3s of her songs. Get them here: http://www.autumnkalquist.com/music/

I am excited to see what she has up her sleeves, literarily and music-wise, for the future!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The authors writing style is great, and I love the way she brings her characters to life through her writing and  humor. Not only did I love the passion and chemistry between Liam and Elissa that the author creates, I also love the sense of humor they all have as well. Not only will this story make you love the characters and never want to let them go, It also keeps you laughing along right with them as the story goes on. I loved all the characters in the book, especially Liam, Elisa, and Angel. I hope Leisa will write more with these characters in the future and I look forward to reading more of Leisa books in the future as well. The only downside to the book is that I wish we got more of Liam's POV in the book, as I would have liked to know more what he was thinking/going through in the story as well, and that would have made the story even better.

Nessa has managed to accomplish something that very few authors do for me - leave me wanting more. I have an almost desperate need to know what happens next. I love the characters and the plot. My only complaint is the same as the first book in the series - editing. There are incorrect word choice issues in every chapter. They aren't glaring but they are noticeable. Melissa's work deserves a great editor so that nothing detracts from her wonderful tale

I love the series. I am a voracious reader and enjoy series with characters that develop and are dynamic.
Nice to have an older female lead.
I was surprised at the story telling and quality of writing. I want to read anything this writer puts out!

I am someone that can easily predict a story. So many book are the same and yet every chapter I read I have no clue what is going to happen next.
So many times I have been shocked and then laughed out loud, seriously, by something completely unexpected.

The author has written the characters out so well but without so a ton of detail. There is so much going in that we are given just enough info to be satisfied and rooting for each character. There is so much I am expecting To happen but because I'm writing this review I it didn't happen in this book.
On of the things that I reviewed in the first book was my love for a main character to be strong minded and didn't go weak. This has remained consistent throughout this second book which has made me love them even more. I feel more connected and invested in the story.
I also really liked that the book started right where the last one ended off. There was no skipped story and missed excited. I felt like I was continuing on with the story and I didn't have to Miss out on what happens next which is something I dislike a lot in other books.

I highly recommend this book and highly recommend to keep reading. The story only continues to get better and better!

Really enjoyed this book, and would like to read more.  The main character is extremely likeable and engaging, and in fact makes the story.  I love the wry humour, and did not find (as another reviewer did) the overblown description offputting at all - in fact, it fits with the style of the writing and the setting.  Look forward to the next one!

I saw this series mentioned in a FB post as a recommendation and decided to take them up on it...needless to say, so glad I did!  I loved the cast of characters and how strong their friendships developed with each other.  Biggest lessons: love yourself first and words hurt - you can't take them back. I especially how well the author set the reader up for the next book within the story.  I felt it was well written and look forward to reading more from this author.
