Review: I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review. Now usually I stick to my norm of YA books, but made an exception by this up and coming author. When I started reading this book, I thought I knew what I was getting myself into, I didn't. This book defiantly exceeded my expectations and continually shocked me. There were numerous twists that I was not expecting. This book was very well written and had me getting all hot and bothered while reading it. As far as romance goes there is something for everyone. Sweet, sexy, fiery, bondage and a little roughness. But hidden amongst all of that, is a great story. 

Athena starts off as a young naive girl who is basically a doormat the her jerk fiancé but she outgrows that life and like a Phoenix, rises from the ashes, so to say. The author describes her change in attitude perfectly. I loved watching Athena come into her own. Ryder was how you say....HOTT!!! You could fry an egg on that one ;) despite his few little flaws he is a great character for the role.

I am eagerly awaiting book two because of that giant twist, then the book ending @_@ definitely an author to watch out for. I would recommend this book to romance lovers who like a wild streak.
