I devoured this book !!!! in one day !
I've waited for this and let me tell you, it was worth the wait, and then some ...
we can call this book "how to fall in love by looking for the opposite ".
Bryan aka Brute thinks he's so smart, the Vault of Sin resident grumpy face, that he can keep playing the game by his set of rules, only to find them to backfire on him.

“I promise I’ll give you what you need, but I won’t chase you. You walk out the door and I won’t follow.”
“How can you promise that?”
“Because what you interpret as arrogance is actually experience. Unlike other men, I know what I’m doing.”
“A long list of conquests won’t help. My appetite is more specific than most.”

Pamela is trying to find her way back to sexual pleasure after her husbands death only to find herself face to face with Brute, the game is on, who will hold the best poker face all the while trying not to get hurt.

“We’ll see who’s uncomfortable once you’re naked and writhing. I figure the apology you’re going to owe me for doubting my skills will be hard to spit out.”
“I’m never going to apologize for not being endeared by your sh*tty attitude ... If you can work any sort of magic it will merely be a payoff for the crap you’ve put me through.”

Eden is a great writer, she made me laugh my ass off with characters and on the next page I get all hot and bothered by the action. And let me tell you, there is something sexy about a grumpy, brooding, domineering male like Brute. Mmmmmmm pushes all my buttons.
