What can I say?? Wow! Wow! Wow! Ok so the first 30% I was wondering where this story was going and it seemed like a never ending sex scene. Finally it picked up - and that's the reason for the 5+++ stars! This author is amazing. I feel what she is portraying!
Nikki and Damien's love - wow! Damien is one hard core person to break. He has been through so much - we don't even know the half of it. I wished we had more answers - but I'm so happy this book wasnt a HUGE cliffhanger. Yes, there is def more to the story - like what happened with Jamie, what will happen with Ollie - does he really love Nikki like Damien suspects?
(view spoiler)[Will Damien be charged for murder? (hide spoiler)] Will the truth ever really come out?
I really like Nikki. She does speak her mind, she doesn't hide from Damien. He has truly brought her out of her shell. She can face things. I really like seeing the progression in her character. Ollie pisses me off. He had the chance to be with Nikki a long time ago, doesn't take it.
(view spoiler)[Sleeps with Jamie while he's engaged. He breaks attorney client privilege even if it is for good reason, but hell. (hide spoiler)] Courtney deserves better. He needs to be fired. All the approaches he could have taken with Nikki or Damien for that matter could have been better. .
Jamie - she sleeps with guys so she has no emotional ties - but gets tangled up with the actor who only wants to get ahead. Man, Evelyn calls em as she sees them! I really hope Jamie has a HEA! She deserves it. I also love her an Nikki's banter. They tell each other like it is. They don't step on egg shells around each other. I love that. They tell each other when they are screwing it up.
Evelyn- love!!! She does have an inside on Damien but is a good friend and urges Nikki to trust him.
(view spoiler)[I also want to know who told the press about the painting. My money is on Gisselle. (hide spoiler)] I don't like her! She's so smug. She wants Damien and maybe that's just why I don't like her. I also don't trust her. She was pretty absent tho after Nikki was fired. Also, who is Lisa? She wants to be niks friend, but we don't hear much from her yet!!
So back to Damien and Nikki. Damien has made Nikki be so reliant on him, that through out the book it seems like he didn't need her as much as she needed him. But on the contrary, he made her feel that way bc he was too selfish to let her go. You can see the desire in his eyes and how thoughtful he is. It does worry me. Can he be monogamous? The whole time I was thinking she was going to catch him in the act or just finishing with some one else. I knew he cared about her...but still I'm glad he didn't! I can't wait for the next book! I hope there is some sort of spin off series or something! Idk if I can get over Damien and Nikki without more!
There are probably several more scenes we can pick apart--but I won't! Such a fantastic book!!
