    Catherine Walsh writes funny dialog. These characters are hilarious. I love how Ciara's POV is written as if she is writer and her life is a story, whereas Sam's POV, while lovely, is a little more sensible. Vivid storytelling and crisp banter from Walsh makes her characters full of life.

    This book is laugh out loud funny. Preposterous in the best way. Ned is smoother than a fresh jar of skippy, and Cecilia’s dry wit has me falling in love with her. Inject. This. In. My. Veins.

    It hooked me at first but the plot was on shaky ground, the dialog was unnatural, and the smut was just smut—the characters lacked chemistry. Skimmed the last 10%.

    The stilted dialog is actually driving me nuts. They talk like vampires that woke up in the 21st century. "Careful sounding so excited when speaking of my driver. He's worked for me for years but make me too jealous when it comes to him and he might just lose his job." Very wordy, very unnatural— actually that might summarize how I feel about this whole book.
