People complained about the religious aspect, saying Ms Godwin must not like religion well maybe not, we don't know, but from what I heard, there's no evidence to support such a theory. Josh liked her from the start, saw the good in her, and refused to give up on her even without knowing why or what to think of her. How that is too fast, I'll ever understand. Liv didn't reach her breaking point and finally decide not to push Josh away by wearing a mask (literally and figuratively) until almost 5 hours in, almost halfway through the story. I also saw negative reviews claiming that their relationship developed far too fast. The writing was brilliant, and while there were a few lulls here and there, by no means was I bored by the story at any point. Van's story is probably going to be more my speed, but this book was a departure from my norm and I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The storyline was excellent, as usual from Pam, and I am SO glad I didn't let the negative reviews keep me from listening and making my own opinion on the book.

They will surprise you, the way they both show their vulnerabilities to one another, shifting the control and giving the other what they need in that moment. Don't write Liv or Josh off, give them a chance.

These characters had depth and a complex but beautifully created relationship. Oh, and Josh is more of a switch than anything else, so don't worry, ladies, you'll get that alpha attitude with Josh's story. I will admit, not being familiar with it, I made assumptions and didn't consider that he could still be possessive and protective, which Josh certainly was. That type of relationship is appealing to me, but it's usually the other way around in the books I read and this was different and outside my comfort zone. I will admit, after starting this book and recognizing the dynamic of female mistress and a male "pain sl**", I thought to myself that it wasn't going to do it for me. Godwin does it again! Make your own opinion!
