I am left wanting more... ( )

Ugh. Where to begin. When I started this book, I initially liked it. However, as it went on and on, and on and on, I got quite tired of it and actually had to force myself to finish it. It is the first book that I ever remember skipping whole pages of just in an effort to move on through it. I really thought that after I had finished it, I would feel that it had been worth the extra reading. I was wrong. It ends with a total cliff-hanger for book 2.

First of all, the bad language is pretty constant. If it the "extra" words were all removed, it would probably cut the book by at least 30 pages. I did read reviews before reading this and there were many women who were saying how "hot" Gavin was and how he was the most perfect "boyfriend" material they had read in a long time. I have now determined that those reviews had to have been written by very young women who have never actually been treated respectfully by a true gentleman. The immature behavior of the main characters just took me back to pretty much everything that was bad about my early 20's though thankfully, my experiences were nothing like these character's lives. Dillon was a total loser. Emily just had no backbone...with either male. Gavin spent most of the book wanting her because he wanted her. There really was not much said in the way of him caring about her as a person until later and even then it was not sufficient. And as far as the romance (OK, sex)...it just seemed trashy to me.

Disappointed. Have read a number of "young adult" romances recently that I really enjoyed but sadly this was not one of them.

I feel a bit cheated by all the good reviews and the blurb. Dillon was not a sweet lovable guy and Emily drove me insane with her behavior and thought process. The writing style (while not bad) wasn't very appealing to me and made it more difficult for me to connect to the characters.
There were some ok parts, but a lot of this book was frustrating and it felt too long. ( )

“Doll, you’re going to get me out of your system as much as I’m to get you out of mine. It’s impossible.”

That is for sure! I don’t think I will be able to get this book out of my head for a while! I have been waiting for a book that really hit me hard! I sure did “collide” with this one!

Emily….. I wanted to smack her for denying herself what she deserved! She has the typical low self-esteem issue when it comes to men. Instead of going for the one her heart desires, she chooses the one who doesn’t know what she is worth. Dillon is a controlling, lying, womanizer. Emily refuses to wake up and see him for who he really is. Gavin is the sweet and loving man who would do anything to have her. She denies him to be with Dillon, the one she feels obligated to. Even though she finds herself weak when it comes to Gavin, knowing he is who her heart desires; she isn’t strong enough to walk away from Dillon. It’s a constant battle within herself to follow her desires and to fulfill the obligations she thinks she has to fill. My heart was ripped out so many times. My mind couldn’t handle anymore, but yet it wanted more and then some more!

“Every part of you was made for me. Your lips were made to kiss mine, your eyes were made to wake up to me looking at you in my bed every morning, and your fucking tongue was made to roll my name off of it. I am more certain of us than I’m certain that I require oxygen to breathe.” ( )

Loved this love triangle! I knew better than to read this book #1. when the second book is too far away. ;( I loved Gavin s passionate character. He is my choice!!!!! ( )
