I’m sure I said this about Parker and Kane too, but this one might be tough to beat. Carter Donovan is my new book boyfriend. I love him so much. He’s a big, beautiful, cuddly teddy bear with a huge heart and filthy mouth.
Carter and Sydney are set up by their best friends Tyler and Kennedy after expressing interest in each other after their first meeting. They hit it off better than anyone expected them to, but where Carter wears his emotions and his intentions on his sleeve, Sydney is much harder to figure out.
She’s her own special kind of crazy and she loves to play games with men. Even though she knows that Carter is something special and worth keeping around, she can’t let him have the power. She makes him jump through hoops in order to get close to her.
Sydney tries to protect her heart by building up impenetrable walls and toying with men. They can’t hurt her, if she hurts them first. But Carter is different. With Carter she’s scared that she’ll be the one left alone and with a broken heart.
Carter’s no dummy though and he starts to think that Sydney is not just playing hard to get, but maybe she’s just flat-out not interested. Sydney’s plan backfires when Carter decides to give her space to sort herself out instead of him falling to his knees as she expected him to.
Can Sydney open up to Carter enough to give him a real chance? Will she drop the games and let herself be vulnerable to him? If she opens up to him, will he be able to trust her with the secrets of his past or will he keep those locked inside to torment himself forever?
This is a fabulous continuation of Jillian Quinn’s Face-Off Series. It’s book 3, but each of the books can be read as standalones. I thought that this book had the super steamy sexy times, the smart and sassy banter and the funny, sweet moments like the first books did, but I thought that this one was a bit deeper. The characters were a lot more complex and the story had a serious, darker side to it, as well as the fun, flirty and filthy romance. I really loved watching the power struggle between Sydney and Carter and I thought that Carter’s seriousness was the perfect balance to Sydney’s crazy.
Sydney and Carter are hot as puck together! I hope you’ll love their story as much as I did.
