She is beautiful, sweet, and giving, and his desire for her becomes a craving he fears he'll never be able to satisfy.
Passion sizzles between the two lovers...but long-buried secrets haunt them both and may eventually tear them apart.
REVIEW
I have to start this review by saying that I accidentally read the fourth book in this series first instead of starting at the beginning because I messed up. The plot was still understandable and I didn't even notice it until I looked it up.
Apparently, this is the book (and the series) everyone loved, but I didn't. And I wanted to. I tried, I really did, but it just didn't pull me in and I couldn't finish it.
I was so annoyed because it felt like the first sixty pages were just about the main characters talking about the same thing and then, boom, the kiss, the attractions and the typical I want sex, but I can't do a relationship. And then I stopped reading it.
The characters weren't anything special, to begin with. Jonah has annoyed me from the start because he's so damn pushy! He pushes Melanie to sleep with him, basically. He corners her and forces her to admit to him that she wants him.
I had nothing against Melanie on the pages I've read, but I didn't find her to be anything special.
Overall, I was dissatisfied with the way the book was written. It felt like there was some rush and, while I understand the main characters are the centre of the book, it's still nice to read about the surroundings and other people and not just them and how much one wants the other, while the other fights it because it's a bad idea.
I'll, sadly, not be giving this series a chance because I couldn't even read half of this book
