The Romance Reviews
Ashley Gates is the one who got away. When Jonathan Cook sees the opportunity to catch her again, he knows he will only have ONE CHANCE. Author Sam Crescent pens a sizzling tale of a woman who is afraid of what she wants and a man determined to change her mind. As the third book in the FRIENDS, MEN & SECRETS series, this can be read as a standalone. However, to get maximum enjoyment, I would recommend starting at the beginning in order to get a solid back story. Because the characters are recurring, it's important to stay in sequence. Ashley is very much a conflicted character. Torn between her heart and her head, she resists Jonathan's efforts. It takes some help from her friends before Ashley can find the courage to take a chance. There are plenty of minor storylines moving forward to set the stage for future installments of the series. Even as readers are caught up in Ashley and Jonathan, there are some interesting things happening with Connie. Packed with sizzling heat, it is obvious there is plenty of chemistry between the characters. It is a departure from the typical Sam Crescent MC stories, but all the trademark erotic heat is evident. - See more at: http://erotic.theromancereviews.com/viewbooksreview.php?bookid=20360#sthash.7GKZQc7c.dpuf
