Laura's Review of Dirty Ties by Pam Godwin

 

Synopsis

Revenge.
I race to finance it.
I evade to protect it.
I kill to attain it.
I planned everything.

Except her.
The alluring, curvaceous blonde at the finish line.
With sapphire eyes that cheat and lie.
Whose powerful family murdered mine.

I hate her.
I want her.

I know she’s hiding something.
But so am I.

 

What I Loved

          I think the better question is, what was there not to love about this story?  Love love loved this book! You are immediately dropped into Kaci’s world of sexual play, while trying to help run one of the biggest media companies in the world.  We meet Kaci on her way home from work back to her apartment that she shares with her husband, with the occasional guest coming by once in a while.  I don’t want to give anything away so you’re just going to have to find out for yourself.  Kaci like most women wants it all, a successful career & someone to come home to at night.  Since she seems to be missing the companionship she craves she goes out looking for some good old fashion illegal fun.

           I absolutely love the two main characters, Kaci because she is a strong successful woman who has guts, and Logan because his double identity and raw sexual energy that radiates off him.  These two have longed for each other for so long that the minute they finally start to get naked I was giddy with excitement and couldn’t put the book down.  There were so many heart pounding moments and close calls I’m pretty sure my pulse was through the roof several times while reading. I love books that keep me intrigued and excited all at once and this book did exactly that for me!

Not So Much

          I don’t really have any huge complaints about this story, because it truly was an amazing story.  I guess my only complaint was that the first half of the book was a little slow, and the sex scene we all were waiting for didn’t have happen until about 50% of the way through.  I get building tension and all that but when there is tons of ground to cover with a plot, it would’ve been better to move things a long more quickly relationship wise with Kaci and Logan.  I just felt like it was slow in the beginning they then have sex and a day later Logan is ready to practically marry her so the pace just wasn’t as consistent as I would’ve loved.

                    To Sum It All Up!

          This is truly an amazing story and a very intriguing romance novel.  You instantly fall in love with Kaci because of how independent she is, while at the same time just wanting someone to hold her at night while she sleeps.  I definitely feel like this woman is a relatable character and made it very easy for me to get engrossed in the story.  The same can be said for Logan as well, although he might not be as relatable, you feel for him and support his struggle because of all he’s been through.  There were so many surprises and twists in the summary I literally couldn’t put my e-reader down.  The world of illegal racing is definitely dangerous and scary but the author has a way of making it intriguing and mysterious.  The characters in this story were awesome and not just the main ones but the supporting characters as well.  It was so easy to not only love Kaci and Logan but Trent and Benny as well.  What  a great new dark romance mixed with some very hot sex scenes that I definitely enjoyed!
