I’m guessing this was supposed to be funny and exciting because he keeps trying his well thought-out strategy and the heroine doesn’t fall for it (although of course she does). And it was funny - but not for the reasons intended.

But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me. To make things worse, the guy whom she cheated on me with even punched me in the face. In seeking revenge or vengeance in the name of a mother who would have been devastated and ashamed at the men her sons had become, these boys are reaching new lows.Rita burst into laughter, which sounded like nails on a chalkboard to me. “I’m so sorry that I’ve asked your husband to come over and see me at this time of night.” Parker is dark. He makes no excuses for that, at all. He's dangerous, but somewhere deep inside he still holds on to humanity. Codi is an innocent, naive, woman. She notices Parker's darkness and the danger radiating from him but also feels safe with him. After a few, funny, mishaps their relationship takes off. It's more than either one is prepared for. The tangled threads of Codi and Parkers love along with the betrayal of everything that Codi imagined mattered to her leaves her a broken shell of a woman. Claire June was orphaned at the age of ten; her parents were killed right before her by a psychopath out to get revenge.

The book is well written and I absolutely loved Parker and Rocco's dynamic. Both of them tough on the outside and mush on the inside. Hopefully Camryn and Rocco are going to try this dating thing in the next book. Now there's two people with some heavy baggage. On my 18th birthday, when I planned to give my virginity to my boyfriend, I found him sleeping with my sister. I don’t even know where to start with this book. Parker is everything you could want/need in a male character. He is loyal to his brother and wants to help find them both revenge and redemption. He wants to give his brother and himself peace. He thinks he can handle it...he can’t. He is hard, soft, cold, warm, dark, and light. He is pulled and twisted in different directions, he tries to do what’s right while breaking his own heart. You can’t help but love him.I thought he was just an ordinary werewolf, but they said he was Marco, the alpha prince and the most powerful Lycan in our kingdom. The struggle he faced pulled between his brother Rocco and his love for a woman he knows does not deserve his hate and wrath was as sweet as it was painful. Unfortunately, i’d read a review that made this book sound like something completely different from what I personally got from it - which was an odd premise that I didn’t believe in, a run-of-the-mill asshole hero, and a 25-year-old virgin heroine who often baffled me with her logic (in other words, a run-of-the-mill heroine for CR).

She is a virgin with no aspirations in life; she just wants to work a safe job (in retail) and that’s pretty much it in terms of what I’ve learned from what I’ve read. Men aren’t really a priority - she’s done nothing sexual with men - because, and get this, her sister was abused by her boyfriend (or husband). She loved her father, but apparently this man that she didn’t even see abuse her sister first-hand convinced her it’s just not worth the hassle. Also no friends or any particular hobbies mentioned so far. Her virginity is probably her only defining characteristic, because apart from this and the shyness that came with it, there was nothing else to form some distinguishable personality. Parker and Rocco were two brothers eaten away by grief with an incessant need for revenge. Their plot was to kill the daughter of the gang boss that took their mothers' life. Let him feel the same pain, the pain that you could only get by loving someone so much. Death for him wouldn't have been enough, he needed to suffer. He hated his wife, that was obvious, but he had a special connection to one of his daughters and so she became their intended target. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone.But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her.
