Sexy man in a kilt. What's more to say?? Dougal's back story was one of the saddest I've ever read. Leah's was a bit unrealistic and annoying.

Dougal has great game or the Scottish accent in my head made everything he said a trillion times hotter. Either way, I enjoyed him pursuing his love.

I wish Lazlo got a book after this. Just sayin

I don't mind big age gaps. But what irritated TF out of me is how Leigh James kept stressing that despite STILL being in high school, at 18, Audrina was in fact of age and could totally consent to an indecent proposal. Which legally she can. I get it.

Look, I don't care that she was 18. I felt like the constant stress of it was annoying. It was like a pop up ad/disclaimer before a Bang The Babysitter porno stressing that everyone is of age.

I feel like the author wanted us NOT to pass judgement. Which I am totally not. While I was TEAM JACOB, I was not mad at Edward for wanting Bella. And in this case I was there for the story. I forgot Audrina's age. Her age was not a factor for me so the constant mention was a buzz kill.

I enjoyed the interaction of the brothers. Stefan needs his own story. I'd like to see more of him. Young dumb Audrina. She took everything in stride.

The King kind of sucks as a protector. The "attack" was so Lifetime movie fake. This is series is like cheap wine. It's a quick read and gives you a light buzz but the flavor is nothing you savor or even remember.

Also the use of the word DOUBLE VIRGIN is hella annoying. And yet I dropped $$$ for the next book because I have to know how this ends.

Dude...

How can the KING OF THE UNDERWORLD suck so bad at keeping this girl safe?

Why must I be drawn to B rated vampire drama? Thank you Leigh for constantly reminding me that Audrina is still in high school and is a coveted DOUBLE VIRGIN.

The woman in me was not warring with the mother and feminist in me while reading this one.

My thoughts "YESSS girl, have fun, take shots, live your best life!!!" "Wait I forgot you were still in high school, you're just gonna drop out and give up all your future plans for this trillion year old on guy?" and finally "OMG her little sister has more insight and maturity. Why do they keep acting like she should be sheltered? Can we switch her out for Audrina??"

Anyways, I liked the series. I don't regret binge reading it. If the CW wanted to do something with it, I'd totally watch.

It's an okay read. Nothing really special about it. Archer and Ida are probably the only people that made this quick read of interest.

Had no idea what it was about only that it was highly suggested. OMFG I have been scandalized. This is straight smut. I'm not complaining but it was a shock to my system. Read with caution. It's like the porn that has no dialogue its just flesh.... With Santa, and his sons, and the elves!!!

The first few pages in this story were a bit messy. There was a lot going on in an attempt to establish the existing friendship, love, close relationship, and easy banter between Maddie and Adri.

Once I got it, everything fell into place. I loved them together but what I appreciated the most were all the other storylines that planted seeds or interest for future stories.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This story is told from Tily's prospective and it's a bit confusing at first. Tily tends to daydream. Sometimes she will envision or wish for a different scenario then snap back to reality. This took me some time to get used to. I believe this is done because Tily WANTS to be Anastasia Steele. For those familiar with 50 Shades, they will know that she had an inner goddess. I think Tily's daydreaming and how she processes things is in contrast to that.

Tily is so incredibly clueless as to what type of arrangement she has gotten herself into. She's so focused on the sex that it appears she hasn't taken the time to research this new world and the vocabulary used. Her naivety is worrisome and a turn off for me as I have always been pulled toward stronger female leads.

With that said, her mystery dom, is intriguing. He compliments her and encourages her to speak up. He's words are super powerful, and this is just text. I can only imagine what he will be like in person. I just know that it will be life changing for Tily and we will see her grow from this scared little bunny.

I like the premise, I would have appreciated a bit more back story, but it was a good read and I look forward to the actual novel.
