Review
What an enjoyable read! This is the first in a new series from Tina Bass. It is a quick read. The characters both had their flaws. Kade was bossy, arrogant, and hateful at times, however, once you see from his perspective, you can understand why. Krista is an amusing character because of her philosophy on life.
While there are things that could have been explained in more detail, the emotions that Tina brought up in regards to Krista's rape, showed me that this is a talented author, who will only get better.
I give this entertaining read 4 stars!
