Review
Rating: 3.5*
Cole, a dog walker, has a reputation with women - he's more of a love and leave them type guy, especially since he found his last serious relationship with another man. Unfortunately, his ex seems to think she is irresistible and can win him back. When Cole meets Addison, his reaction to her is instant, especially as she won't jump straight into bed with him. Addison wants nothing to do with Cole and his womanising ways but Addison makes him want to change his ways and be a one woman man.
Addison has already been walked all over by her ex who only wanted her for the opportunities her father can give him. Her father is no better, constantly telling her that her decisions are not good enough. Whilst she is instantly attracted to Cole, she is cautious about jumping in.
Whilst I enjoyed this book, I don't feel we got below the surface of all the emotions and what the characters were facing as the author focused primarily on Cole's womanising with the rest of the conflict coming second. I struggled a little with both these characters because of the way they treated each other at times on the way to their happy ending. They frustrated me completely. Still worth a read though.
