Without Regret

Summer time Adult Playground Fun -

“She didn’t have a single regret.”

I’d feel the same way if I had bad boy Isaiah Fontenot sending smoldering looks at me. Ms Edwards is introducing us to a new version of “bad boys are so good.” Her alpha characters are usually honest, loyal men, sometimes troubled but always have a white hat. Well, not the boys of Southern Boy Mafia and Devil’s Playground. These are bad boys who can be very, very good boys right where you need them, between the sheets.

This novella delivers what I expect from a Nicole Edwards story: hot, steamy scenes, some tension and a HEA. It is a novella and often the hurry up fall in love aspect of the short journey troubles me. Cassidy has it right – sometimes being thrown together has you feel things sooner. Although I like the heroine, I really enjoyed Isaiah. I felt I understood him and connected with the character. He was bad boy that did some stuff on the wrong side, but you felt his justification.

This is another steamy summer read for me. This introduces us to the world of Devil’s Playground and some character – whoa Micah – we’ll get to meet. This novella doesn’t leave you hanging at the end of the story. You could stop here. But once you get hooked, I dare you not to pick up the next one in the series.
