After an actual lifetime of him pushing her away and hurting her at every turn, he is somehow carrying around a rage boner at HER? On the flip side, the woman causing all of this need and conflict always had feelings for this man but every time something might have finally happened between them. The only thing was with Remi, Brick couldn’t help himself with either wanting her so badly that he tried to distance himself from her , he felt like his world was turned upside, and he also craved her attention. Yes, the back and forth between them got a little repetitive but the tension between them definitely made up for it.

So after he screws her into the ground, and walks out of her house telling her that they are over, leaving her naked and on the floor. You don’t fall for your brother’s high school sweetheart, your boss’s daughter, or your ex-wife’s best friend. They eventuallyyyyyy pull finger, the bad guy comes to town and the confrontation occurs amid all sorts of other silly page-filling nonsense. how he had a love and need for a woman but always stopped himself from acting on his intense feelings.

Overall, I did like this one, but it’s never fun when a book that could have been epic for you just isn’t.For over fifteen years he believed he wasn’t good enough for Remi and yet for their first time together he was focussed on disciplining and dominating her, there was no tenderness in evidence, just a strong desire claim ownership and leave an imprint.
