You'll need to read them all in the right order because there is a lot of side characters and backstory by the time you get to #2....more

HUMOUR: I missed the silly-ish chick lit humour that Belle's other books contain.
LEXI: She wasn't unique, she reminded me a lot of the lead females in Friend-Zoned (#1) and Willing Captive, kind of weak when it comes to the lead males, big hearted and wears it on her sleeve, girly-girl next door type, likes to call people 'babe' or 'sweetie'.
TWITCH: Don't get me wrong, I like an anti-hero (Shay Savage's 'Sebastian Stark' is my fave), but this guy was kind of sadistic, which I don't like, it's the whole reason I avoid the heavy BDSM books. Which leads me on to the...
SEX: The first sex scene, at least, I found icky and uncomfortable, if I was Lexi I would have told Twitch to stick it somewhere else. But the other sex scenes didn't really do it for me either, there was quite a few and though I love a bit of rough or kink, I just didn't find these scenes erotic, sexual or sexy, they lacked something for me.
HATRED: Twitch has a secret hatred and the reason seemed pretty silly to me, blaming all that on an innocent.
ROMANCE: Didn't feel it from Twitch, felt fake.
DIALOGUE: This is the bit I really did like, banter was good, so were some of the lines that Twitch had. I also liked the uniqueness that was Twitch himself.
ENDING: Frigging hated it! I avoid books with this kind of ending, but I couldn't resist reading this because of the hype.
All in all, fell a little flat for me. And what it is, is a sexy-drama-romance. Wouldn't call it dark, though Twitch is a dark character. I'll keep an eye out for Belle's other books, I’ve enjoyed 3 out of 4 of them. Not everyone likes the same thing. Please don't let this dissuade you from reading, it's not written badly, it's not a terrible storyline, the characters are not obnoxious, it just wasn't for me....more
'Used' is told from V's point of view, she speaks to the reader. She's a loner and travels the country looking for people to screw over. She's broken,'Used' is told from V's point of view, she speaks to the reader. She's a loner and travels the country looking for people to screw over. She's broken, sexually agressive, dominant, bossy, hot and extremely dangerous. The book feels like a prologue to more, i really hope it is, i want to see a male lead and a HEA for V, but i don't think that'll happen :(...more
