I think that’s what ultimately made this book so good for me, the fact that both characters had such an amazing balance of realness to them. She wasn’t mousy, or shy, or some wallflower. She was strong, yet a little bit broken at the same time. His letters to Annie made me swoon at the same time it made me lust after him uncontrollably.Īnnie was such an amazing heroine. It almost felt like Eric was talking directly to me. The way that Miss McKenna portrays the angst, lust, and emotion that these 2 people share through simple letters was incredible. This book has some of the most amazingly written sexual tension I have ever read. His attention had become some strange, dark, private treat to brighten the toughest day of my week, and I’d come to crave it.

But beneath that tough and muscled exterior there exists a soul of a gentle and romantic man. He’s simply a man that committed a crime, a crime that he would commit all over again if given the chance. He’s not some ultimate bad boy, an asshole, or a hard-ass. That unreadable expression, an impossible mix of apathy and fascination, coldness and seduction.Įric was not at all what I expected from reading the book’s blurb.
