I went blind into this one and I'm happy I read it.
Infatuation is a sweet second chance read with one hot H, who knows what he wants and does everything to get it. I also liked h and sympathized with her situation and her fear of history repeating itself. What their 'parents' did to them when they were young was just cruel and I doubt any loving parent would do that to their child. Thankfully we get to see the couples HEA.
A great read. :)
Safety-gang:(view spoiler)[ There is no cheating at all. H/h know they want each other, so it's a safe read. There is one of H's exes at the wedding, who thinks to spend time with H again but H makes it clear he doesn't want her. That doesn't mean she gives up that quickly. Also at the wedding night in H's POV there was a sentence that really bothered me while he was having sex with h: "I’ve never taken someone so intensely or savagely before, and it’s amazing." I could have gone without this reminder. (hide spoiler)]

When I saw this one was up for graps on NetGalley I was super excited by the blurb and was really looking forward to reading this book. I mean who doeWhen I saw this one was up for graps on NetGalley I was super excited by the blurb and was really looking forward to reading this book. I mean who doesn't like firstly the cover and secondly strong men with guns and an action packed plot, right? So after reading the first few chapters I can say that I really enjoyed the story but then came the freaking questions. I drove me nuts, I mean, I get it, if it's only a few times and on various scenes but to have a person you are talking to reply to you every single time with What happened? No, did that really happen? He did what? He was what? What, what, what? I FREAKING GET IT, OK!!! You tell me once and I'm totally going to understand you. I'm not brain dead or something. And that continued to happen through the whole story. So that was definitely a bummer for me and I admit, there were times where I wanted to give up and just stop reading.

In the end I guess I can also blame my high expectations for the story, since I was really happy to be reading this book. But oh well, it's still a three star read, since not all was that bad.
I liked Cap and Michelle, they were my favourite characters. Yes, I know I'm horrible for not liking the main characters more but what can I say. I loved how Cap has this no bullshit personality and how Michelle just knows what she want and is one super cool chick that doesn't easily freak out. If there is going to be a book about those two, I'm definitely reading it!

Now Terra and Michael were a mess but a beautiful one. Their relationship is now a 'normal' one, since their past and true identity still remains a lie, at least on Terra's side and one that all comes to light, there is going to be a big bum! But for the most part, I find their journey to finding each other real sweet. There are ups and downs but in the end they manage to overcome that and also the epilogue and their new pet, just soooo cute. That added to their story for sure.
All in all, I would say that I liked this story but it could also be better, specially the writing style (question and all that). Also I'm not sure I'm going to be reaging the sequel but who knows, maybe I will, maybe won't. So, if you feel like you like the blurb, then go for it. Read the story and who knows, it might just as well pleasantly surprise you. :)

And now I'm actually feeling sorry that I did in fact read it so fast, because a good book is so hard to come by. Anyway, the author stays true to her writing style and the overall story plot. I feel like we got a lot of answers and new question in this one and now I am already looking forward to reading the next book in this series (that hopefully comes out soon). ...more

I tried, I really did but at some point you know you have to stop. I really don't like Callie's character, the way she thinks (or rather the author does) and even Temper and Des couldn't bring me to further read this story. There was some action but it was too short, not detailed enough and, same as the second book, had some potential to be great. Sadly the story lost it's appeal for me and instead of struggle through it, I'd rather just find another book that I'll hopefully enjoy. ...more
Wow, what a let down... I really expected more from this story, since I really liked the first book of this series. What happened to Callie? She went Wow, what a let down... I really expected more from this story, since I really liked the first book of this series. What happened to Callie? She went from a great character to this powerless, whiny and weak character. It's like she had to be saved by Des so many times, it's ridiculous. I mean, why do authors do that? Seriously, what's going on in their heads that they think the readers will like such a character, huh? But thank god for Des and Temper, they saved the day! Literally in this case and multiple times at that! About the writing... The plot was barely there. The second part was kinda all right but truth to be told I really felt stupid when reading the story. You get all the answers pretty early on in the story and then you have to read how the story drags out and about until miraculously the characters figure it out. And that is of course at the very end... Like come on, I want a story to grab my intellectual attention. Otherwise I just get bored and have to stuggle to finish the book. And also, the author should've read the previous chapters she wrote and only then proceed with writing more chapters. There were some parts where she repeated what was already been told previously and then just added a sentence. I mean...you for sure can do better than that. Don't add unnecessary things to the story just to make it longer. Sometimes less is definitely better. So to sum it up, this did not reach up to my expectations. The book had potential but the execution wasn't quite there. It just didn't deliver what it should have. Sure, there are some enjoyable parts of the story but for me it just wasn't enought to make me like the story. ...more

From the reviews I knew that it wasn't going to be a bad story. The more I read, the more I actually liked it. It's fresh, it's adventurous and above all it has great PNR elements that I love. I will admit that some parts were dragged out a bit but nothing I couldn't live it. All in all, this is a book worth giving a try and I know I'll read the rest of the books in this series. I only hope Calli stays a strong character and doesn't turn into a mary sue. Fingers crossed. :)...more

Aaaaand that sums up my feelings perfectly. I mean wtf?!!! I skipped the first part, cause it was boring the house! And the second part was all right, till the 70% marker. Then it just went downhill, again. And don't even get me started on the ending. I mean seriously?! What the hell was the author thinking, huh? Totally not cool or acceptable. And it's no secret that I'm not fond of Cadence's character. What a twat. A goddy doer in the worst kind. And totally too trusting. She's just a horrible character that I wanted to kill, preferably by beheading and blowing up. But just when I thought I got my wish when she fell in the volcano, nope, my hope was shattered. If she's in the next Legion of Angels book I'm done! I do have a feeling that she's going to be the word mother in law, that's for sure! Damien can stay, the rest of this book characters', except Pandora and Nero of course, can take a hike straight to hell and stay there indefinitely! Thank you. ...more

It's nice to get to know Nero's parents and how they met and what adventures they had together. As expected from this author you get lots of action, the right amount of humor and sass and of course a bit of romance that makes you want to read the rest of the books. Would I say that I loved this book as much as Leda and Nero's stories...no but it came pretty close. I did enjoy Cadence and Damien's story and I'm currious enough to read more of what happens to them. It's a great story for sure. Tho I would advise the readers to read the Legion of Angels series first, since both series compliment and interact with each other, especially the third book in this series. ...more

I had problemI had high hopes for this story, since I know this author can write amazing books. But this time it felt like the whole book was rushed. I had problems with the timing, like when Cadence finds out that her whole life she has been lied to. She went from crying to immediately sassy and acted like that moment never happened. It was trippy to say the least and it made me feel like I missed something. I did like Damien a lot tho. He was dare I say perfect. Also the plot wasn't so bad, full of action and romance and we also get a scorching scene. So all in all, I liked it but was expecting more. I hope the next book will be a bit more put together. ...more

I don'Well, let me just start with saying that it wasn't what I was expecting from the main characters, especially not from the "broken" Hummingbird. I don't think it's a spoiler that she's quite the opposite from the past woman we've been reading about. It's like she's all of a sudden a whole new personality and I liked that for her. But at the same time, it felt like it was just to sudden and to fast forward, without a real clean transition from the past her to the present. To me, at least, it felt a little rushed but then I was just going with the flow of the story so it wasn't so bad. As for the plot and the rest of characters, I liked it but didn't love it. I missed the action and to me the plot felt like a changeover to the next book and where this series is going.
All in all, it's a good story and I think that any fan of this series will enjoy it. ...more

And I'm so glad I finally got the time to read it. This is such a sweet but not really story. It definitely leaves you at times emotional and makes you remember your loved ones. Especially Molly's background story made my heart clench a few times. Not that Romeo's story of abuse wasn't horrible and sad but Molly's just hit more home for me, personally. But it is all worth it at the end. I cannot wait to read Romeo's POV. I think it will add more to the story to know his thoughts and views on their journey. Just all in all a beautiful story of love and healing. ...more
