I am currently putting this book aside with the intention of picking it up at a later date. It isn’t a bad book, but I am not in the right mood to enjoy it for what it is at the moment. I am at 50% and don’t want to give a bad review to a book that is decent (probably will be a three star, depending on where it goes from here could be a four star or could be a two star), simply because I am not in the mood for it’s content. So here are my thoughts on this book to date. These two are some emotionally scarred, lost boys in need of a rescue. CPS should have intervened for them early in their lives, but they slipped through the cracks and are now the product of what happens when society lets kids down. Their lives are sad, but the love they find in each other is sweet - that’s the draw of the book. What I am struggling through in this book is how the MC’s pasts, may be too real for me to enjoy their sexual moments (ever trip over a porn where the participants are clearly at a low point in their life and not enjoying what they are doing - not a turn on). These two triggered a protective parental instinct in me - which was not my desire to feel when I picked up this book. Their stories are sad and probably very accurate to why many disenchanted youths may find themselves prostituting themselves and how they struggle to get themselves out of that business and how they find themselves fitting in to "normal" life once they do. I picked this book thinking it would have angst and struggle, but still a certain “fun” to it. Now that I know this won’t be a “sexy” read for me, I am sure I will be picking it up again when I am more in the mood for the emotional rollercoaster and for reading about these two painfully struggling for their HEA. I loved this book. The metamorphosis of Liam .... wow - I loved every moment of it. Liam so cocky and confident, then protective and in love and then.... yeah, Leah - unfreaking believable - This really is a well written book.I had thought Jacen to be the more submissive of the two, the one who would follow Liam and allow him to take charge, however, Jacen also went through a metamorphosis of his own and is now so confident and no longer afraid - maybe the only fear he now has is of losing Liam.Really a great story of rising up out of your past and not being afraid of becoming who you truly want to be.
What do You think about Whatever The Cost (2012)?
I simply did not enjoy this one. It made me feel bad it took two months to finish.
