My Thoughts <3

This book was crazy good! I am not sure what I was expecting when I picked it up, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. I have not read the first book in the Cole Brothers series, but you can bet your britches that I will be because not only was this book extremely well written, but it kept me on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE TIME!

Matt is like fine wine, you have to give him time to open up, but could you expect anything less from a formal military man with a few skeletons in his closet trying to get a new job? Ela is a party girl that loves just sailing through life without any expectations, right?! These two get along as well as water and ice but when they wake up handcuffed together, it starts something that will rock their entire worlds.

Provoke You would have been an entertaining Contemporary Romance, but the heavy dose of suspense makes this book EVEN better in my book. There is something shady going on, can Ela and Matt figure it out and then walk out of each others lives? Read the book to find out- it is totally worth it and 5 outta 5 stars in my book!

PS: A huge thank you to Diana A. Hicks and Xpresso Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review!
