Made way more sense once I realized it was a novella. Charming with smoking hot smut.

I don't know what I just read.
Okay. First 3/4 of book - typical male/male kind of check the box erotic story. And if it had continued down this same route, this would have ended up at a three rating mostly because the main character is adamant that they do not do one night stands until one acquaintance comes along and then even after saying it over and over again, he still breaks his own rule. More bad decisions include BAREBACK. Seriously?! I have nothing against the concept - but definitely - have issue that it goes completely against the mc stated beliefs.
So as I said before, the story went into a direction where it suddenly delved into the paranormal. No hints, no clues, then boom. And it's thrown at us in multiple cliches - the author just hoping that something sticks. No way. Move along.

Parece q eu li metade de um livro e o resto sumiu. Final apressadÃssimo e faltou MUITO plot. Potencial desperdiçado.

Not all that long ago, I read this and did not like it, But, in reading that (now deleted) review, I realized my reaction was mostly me, not much the story. Oops.
So this is a re-read, but this time I enjoyed it. I skipped the two italicized memories/backstory, because blocks of italics are harder for me to read. But I read the 'earlier that day' one because that seemed more story-pertinent, plus it was way shorter.
As a start to a series, this is fine. As a Mary Calmes story, it is average, not her best but not her worst. Now I'll read Tooth & Nail, which I suspect I'll like better, dot, dot, dot. :)
