I absolutely loved this book it was hot and it was steamy and fogged up my Kindle pretty quickly. This is actually the second book that I have read by Scarlett and she is the queen of short stories and I managed to finish this book within a matter of hours, I was a little sad when it ended and wanted to see what happened after the book ended and I jumped up and now (quite literally when I found out that there is going to be a book 2 about Marcus and Lauren (YAY!!!) I cannot wait to see what happens next and Scarlett and quickly become on of my new favorite authors, 5 stars!
