My Review
I nearly gave up whilst reading the first two chapters, they are written almost as thought processes of the heroine and hero and I found it difficult to get to grips with. However as I was kindly sent this as an arc and felt it only fair to the author to try to read more of the book.
I AM GLAD I MADE THE EFFORT as the story really picks up. I haven't read the first book Riddick, and whilst I suspect this has a few 'spoilers' for that book, it wasn't necessary to have read it in order to enjoy this story. I really didn't like Jude when I discovered what he had said to Vivian - no woman deserves being spoken to like that. However once Vivian and I had forgiven him BAM! the story just explodes into steam, suspense and angst and a POW! finish, with one or two shocks thrown in just to make sure you are awake. And boy you will be - so don't start this late at night as you may find you can't put it down.
The story is gripping, emotion packed and filled with amazing characters who you either fall in love with or want to be .... and yet they are 'every day' people. No supermodels, rock stars or billionaires here thank you very much. I loved the alternating POV's as this always helps me bond with the main characters, and boy would I love to bond with Jude. Normally I'm not one for a lot of swearing in books (which is a bit rich because my language isn't always the best) but Jude just made it sooooo hot! I tell you my kindle was in danger of melting and I'm fairly sure my panties did.
I have found my new favourite book boyfriend and hey, I'm generous, so grab yourself a copy of this book and we can share him.

Blurb
Jude
I faked my way long enough by keeping my mouth shut, painting a fake smile on my face and focusing hard on my job.
I quit going out to find that random piece of ass.
Not a one of them would stand up to her anyway.
She hates me, loathes me even.
Little does Vivian Shepard know I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve than she will ever begin to imagine to get her to change her mind, to get my chance.
I’m not giving up.
I want her, and by God, I’ll fight as dirty as I can get to have her.
No matter what!
Vivian
Of course, I knew it was a one- night stand.
It’s was the perfect night before all hell broke loose to be quite honest.
Drinking, talking and flirting.
One I relished in as I tried to gravitate my mind back to solid ground after soaring so high I could feel the rush of flying.
My stomach dipped, my heart fluttered, and my toes curled inward and then I splattered to the hard surface of the ground.
Jude Westbrooke opened his big fat mouth.
He ruined it, ruined me, ruined it all.
“We need to talk.” I finally manage to pull away from her. My eyes are diverting from her mouth to her soaked t-shirt. “Fuck,” I snarl. Her pink nipples are standing out against the wet fabric, which is white and very thin. My gaze darkens the further south it goes, down to her tiny little pink and white shorts that are saturated. Rivulets of water are dripping down her long, toned legs, dripping off her silky skin to mix with the giant puddle on the floor.
“You look absolutely beautiful, Red.”
“What in the hell are you doing here, Jude? It’s a monsoon out there. And what gives you the right to barge into my house and attack me like that, anyway? Have you lost your mind?” She shoves me back a step and climbs off the counter, nearly falling on her ass in the process. Slippery when wet, baby! The spell is broken.
“I didn’t lose my mind. You fucking stole it. I can’t stop thinking about you, and no matter what you try and say, I know damn well you don’t want me to. So we are talking, goddamn it!” I yell.
“Well, that sure didn’t sound like talking to me. And take your mind back. I don’t want it.” Liar.
“No, darling, it wasn’t talking. What that was, was several months of pent-up frustration over wanting more of what you gave me the night we met. What that was, was me telling you that I’m not a man who walks away from something he knows is rare. You want to give me my mind back, then let me give you something more to stew about in that pretty head of yours. You are so full of shit if you think for one second I’m buying the piss-ass excuse that you don’t want me. And before your head gets all rattled and you start spewing more of your shit, I’m not talking about sex, Vivian. I’m talking about you. The woman I know is in there, but is too fucking stubborn to let the best side of her out. I want that woman. The woman I met before I fucked shit up. The woman I want to ask out on a date. So, you know what? I’m here to tell you that once you decide to let that woman emerge, you give me a call.”
I turn to leave and grab the door handle. I’m so fucking mad she isn’t trying to stop me like she should that I could spit nails into this door. Hammer this goddamn thing shut.
“I’m telling you right the hell now, Vivian, that if you don’t call me, then you are wasting what I know for a goddamn fact would be the greatest gift given to me, which is you.”
