***4 ‘Assasin’ Stars***
This book was an unexpected, yet absolutely pleasant surprise. It was all kinds of smexy (dear lord was it panty incinerating smexy), sweet, funny and filled with heart, but the path was took a few twists and turns that I even I couldn’t have thought up and yet, when everything was said and done, it was perfect for Abby and Lucas and was what they needed to go through in order to find their HEA.
I loved Lucas and Abby. Abby is a spitfire. She’s sassy, has a huge heart, is a little spastic and when she gets riled up has a way of blurting out truths that one can’t ignore. Her past isn’t all wine and roses and she’s working hard to keep herself on the straight and narrow and find herself. Lucas is all kinds of rock god smexy goodness, but due to certain circumstances isn’t finding much joy in that status lately. What I loved about Luke was that while he was alpha AF, and decadently wicked, had a golden heart and soul.
Abby and Lucas’ journey was hands down HOT, but intermingled with the searing sexual chemistry was an odd connection of sorts where they are both trying to find themselves again and through a slightly unconventional, but very intriguing situation, they give each other the much needed push in the right direction towards being the people they never knew they could be.
This is my first read by Lauren Rowe and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The little twists in the journey kept me turning the pages, as did the smexyness. The pacing was good and writing engaging, and though there is a part of me that does wish that the 1st person POV had been dual instead of solo, I still enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to reading more books by the author.

Hotel clerk Abby Medford has always enjoyed the quiet solitude of the night shift. The long, boring hours allow her time to study her law books. But when bad-boy-rocker Lucas Ford checks into the penthouse suite one night and demands Abby personally deliver his room service request, her formerly quiet nights are quickly filled with Lucas's erotic games.
But as Abby soon learns, if she thinks she can indulge her innermost desires with Lucas without giving him her heart, she's dead wrong.
