The Edge Of Chaos by J Saman Release and Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

You know that awful moment when you realize you accidentally slept with your best friend’s older brother? I met him on my last New Year’s Even in New York. Sparks flew. Madness ensued. And after the hottest night of my life, I ran out on him. Three years later he and I come face-to-face again. Now do I not only learn his name but realize the heat between us hasn’t dissipated for a second. Thankfully, I’m a woman who can spot his type from miles away. Especially when my friend goes on to explain just how off-limits her older brother is. A player who has wrecked her friends’ hearts a time or twenty. He doesn’t agree. In fact, the gorgeous and persistent man believes we should pick up exactly where we left off three years ago. Sorry, not gonna happen. My life is already filled with more chaos than I can handle and the last thing I need is some hot playboy adding to it. Only he turns out to be so much more than I expected. Intoxicating and impossible to resist-all over my place, his stairs, it doesn’t matter. We’re insatiable. Now I just have to figure out how to keep my heart out of the game. Not so easy to do when he’s determined to win it.

I had so much fun reading this story. This story has a lot of everything you need for it to make a good romance story. A little bit of mystery, a little what the heck is going on, a little he is so hot and so is she, a little love at first sight, some forbidden features, some hope, some love and a whole lot of I loved these characters so very much. We get the story here of Rina and Brecken. Only when they met three years ago in New York, she was out with her friends playing a trivia game at the bar and it was also her last night in the city. College was done and it was time to go. Brecken was filling in as the guy hosting trivia night and he calls Rina out right there in front of everyone. She has not doubt that he is interest. One kiss, a night of passion and she slides out of his place the next morning not even knowing his name but knowing that it was the best night of her life and the perfect way to say goodbye to New York. Fast forward three years and Rina is now a nurse in the ICU working and living her life with her friends and it seems like she has a good life. But you will know when you read the prologue that something terrible has happened to Rina and your going to have to wonder what it was for a while. I’m not telling you what it is but I will tell you that my heart just about shattered for her but it also will be her past coming calling in this book for a little bit and causing her to begin to freak out all the time. But then you have Brecken the last man he ever expects to see again. Especially at the end of the take at her best friends night out where she was going to let her friends know what her big announcement was. Turns out it was Brecken, her brother and she wastes no time letting Rina and all her other girlfriends know that he is off limits because she says when they were in high school he broke the hearts of all her friends with is sleeping and running ways. Poor Rina is so shocked I thought she was going to fall over but she is also a little irritated a baffled because he never even acted like her recognized her for a second when they were introduced. But when she decides she needs to get out of the bar there he is and of course he remembers the woman that he has not been able to forget for the last three years. Now that is all I am going to tell you about their story. But I will tell you that I loved these two characters so very very much. I loved how much Brecken really wanted something more with Rina and was doing his best to show her and she was having none of it and having to fight herself because she wanted to be with him again just as much as she needed her next breath. Then you have the what happened to Rina years ago and they why is Brecken in Boston really besides what he is telling people about his boss needing him to do a job there for a year. So there is love, lust instant connection and those moments that leave you guessing. What more could you want in a romance book. I loved this book and am so glad that I got to read it.
