3.75 Mace-a-licious Stars!Review: So, every once in a while, my TBR list is swayed by a good cover. This week, that definitely happened with this book. This book was a little different in that, it starts with Leeta and Mace already having gone through some of the rocky beginnings of starting a relationship, and we jump right in to them living it up in the "honeymoon phase". Mace is from a tough family, as his father is in prison, as well as his brother, and his sister has died. Leeta, on the other hand, comes from a military family, and she, herself, is a successful up and coming attorney. One good thing about this book is that Mace and Leeta have good chemistry and some really HOT moments. This book goes back and forth between Leeta and Mace's POV, so we begin to see that there is something really big that Mace is keeping from Leeta. You can't quite tell what it is at first, but, due to the nature of his background, you being to suspect that it's not legal. Leeta accidentally stumbles on Mace's secret, and her world is suddenly shattered. And, really, I completely understood why. I would definitely have felt the same way with what she found. This is where I also began to have a difficult time, though, because I felt that some of what Leeta stumbled on was something that would completely turn her away from Mace, yet she sat on it for a little bit. Mace realizes pretty quickly that Leeta must know, so he forces her to talk with him about it, and he explains some of what is going on and some of what she saw. I had another moment where I struggled to stick with the story because Leeta went against everything that she believed in, in some ways, to give Mace another chance. Also, considering the main reason that her past relationship ended, combined with what Mace was involved with, it just seemed really unrealistic. Mace was a really hot guy, but I guess I just wondered why Leeta ultimately stayed with him - it seems like it was all about the sex. I felt like they just kept having sex, rather than really talking about things. The end was pretty scary, and I had my moments where I was worried about both Leeta and Mace. I also want to warn people that there is cheating in this story, so please be aware if you do not like that. That did not detract from my rating, but the type of character that Leeta is described to be, and her inconsistent response, did. Jess I don't know about this one. I liked it and I didn't. What he did was not forgivable and she saw the videos! Multiple times!!! Ugh. Let's see what Cash's story is about. It looks like another train wreck in the making but that's the draw I guess. I'm on the fence with this. I hate what he did and that she forgave him so easily. I was reading and thinking "why are you even listening to him?" oh, And the memory of having to go to a hotel room to unhook a naked Ben from the bed while he wore a cock ring and a collar?!?! Wtf??? They were engaged at the time and he called her to come get him because his fuck buddy robbed him while he was tied up?!? IdiotThen Ben is a good guy in the end and just jumps into this crazy shit with her? Weird and weird. I don't know how I feel, again, I liked it and I didn't, I'm a fencer with this one. 3 stars
