The Book Lovers Codex

I'd seen a lot of talk about this book over the last few months but I wasn't convinced I'd like a book set in the "underworld" unless it was actually, you know, the underworld, as in waving hello to Hades underworld.
I had all these pre-conceived notions of what the book would probably be like - seedy semi-criminal stuff - because I'm a freakin' idiot! I didn't get the whole "underworld" fighting thing... Now I do. oops
I put the book out of my head and went about my merry business, but it kept creeping back onto my radar.
I read some reviews and thought "what the heck" and purchased it on Kindle. But still, I did not read it. I kept putting it off.
Then one night - ok a couple of evenings ago - I was bored. I was restless. I didn't know what I wanted to read and I swear a little voice was screaming Remy in my ear, telling me I was missing out, begging me to give in, to give it a go, to fall in love with Remington Tate. So I opened the book and started reading....

HOLY HELL!!!

I don't think I can put into words how this book affected me. I was entranced from the minute Remy chased down Brooke, demanded her name and kissed his name onto her lips. *shivers*

The chemistry between Remy and Brooke burns up the pages, honestly it's insane... Sucks you right in.


Remy is a complete caveman when it comes to his woman. Animalistic. He seems to work on absolute basic instinct. To claim, to provide, to protect... It could have been a complete disaster but, for me, it just worked. He isn't an asshole and Brooke isn't a weak little woman. She kicks ass! Seriously, she is a kick ass female who knows what she wants and what she wants is her man. (And so do I!!)

When I finished it, I felt kinda euphoric.

Was it a perfect book? Beautifully written, expertly edited and polished? No. However, it was part of what made it work for me. It felt raw. It had grit and rough edges and it just worked with the story.

I loved this book, Love, LOVE, LOVED it! It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but it was definitely mine and I can't wait for the next instalment.
