From, Lauren Rowe, the USA Today and International
bestselling author of The Club Series and Ball Peen Hammer comes a sexy
standalone romance: Captain.
It wasn’t the way this kind of story was supposed to go . . .
Insta-love isn’t supposed to turn into insta-hate.
But that’s exactly what happened when the hot-as-hell dreamboat I met in a bar turned out to be a lying, cheating scumbag-player-douche looking for nothing but a little side action. Jerk.
And he has the nerve to call me a liar and a “sociopath”? Assh*le.
And now, three months later, through a mind-blowing series of events I couldn’t have predicted in a million years, it turns out my boss is marrying his sister in Hawaii and I’ve got to play nice with him for an entire freaking week.
Okay, sure, I’ll put on a happy face this week and act like I’ve never even met the jerk before--did I mention his sister is marrying my boss?--but that doesn’t mean I’ll like it. And it certainly doesn’t mean I’ll stop secretly hating the cocky bastard’s guts.
Because I do.
I hate him.
I really do.
I just wish my brain would explain the situation to my body . . . because every time he flashes that panty-melting smile at me, it takes all my self-restraint not to jump the bastard’s hot-as-f*ck bones.

My Review:
It's a standalone, but I regret that I didn't read Josh' books first, because he was a main character too in this book. And honestly when I finished with Jonas, I wanted to read about Josh story, because he seemed to be mosre interesting than his brother. 😊Now I want to read about him!!!
Honestly I liked the story, but I didn't fall in love with the characters. I liked Tessa, she was strong and strong-minded. I liked to read about, how she quit her comfort zone. I loved her in the bar with Ryan. And I loved their flirtation that night. But later I was bored a little, I felt the story unfolded too slowly. And I didn't really understand Ryan's obsession, I didn't really feel it.
"She's triggered some reflex for my soul."~Ryan
But when they met again the story became interesting. I liked them together, and I liked Ryan more. He acted like an asshole, and I think this side of him was more interesting than the enamored side of him.😊
"I'll worship your body and cherish your and nurture your soul"~Ryan
"You own me, baby. You'v owned me since before I laid eyes on you"~Ryan
I liked the other characters too. We could meet all of them. Jonas, Sarah, Josh, Kat (Kat was hilarious!), Henny, the Morgan brothers 💗...
I loved the Morgan family! They were so caring and loving.
So the story was good. But I have mixed feelings about Ryan. I loved him in Maui, the sex scenes were hot, but he spoke about soul connection, and soulmate, I didn't feel it. His feelings weren't convincing.
Véleményem:
Ez egy standalone, de bánom, hogy nem olvastam el a Josh-ról szóló könyveket, mert ő is elég fontos szerepet kapott a könyvben. Mikor Jonas könyveit olvastam, elhatároztam, hogy mindenképpen elolvasom Josh történetét is, mert őt érdekesebbnek tartottam, mint a bátyját.😊 És most így így vagyok vele. Olvasni akarok róla!
Őszintén szólva tetszett a történet, de nem szerettem bele a főszereplőkbe. Kedveltem Tessát, mert határozott és erős volt. Jó volt arról olvasni, hogyan lép ki a komfortzónájából. Nagyon tetszett a kettejük flörtölése a bárban. De később egy kicsit 'unatkoztam', mert szerintem nagyon lassan bontakozott ki ezután a történet. És igazából nem értettem Ryan megszállottságát, valahogy nem éreztem át. Nem jött át 😉
A történet akkor vált ismét érdekessé, amikor újra találkoztak. Szerettem őket együtt, és itt jobban is tetszett Ryan karaktere. Néha úgy viselkedett mint egy seggfej, de ez érdekesebbé tette, nekem ez az oldala jobban tetszett mint a szerelmes, rögeszmés oldala.😊
A többi karaktert is kedveltem. Mindannyiukkal találkozhatunk : Jonas, Sarah, Josh, Kat (hát ő eszméletlen volt!), Henny és a Morgan testvérek💗...
A Morgan családot meg egyszerűen szerettem. Gondoskodóak és szeretettel teljesek voltak mindannyian, törtődtek egymással.
Szóval a történet jó volt, de vegyes érzelmeim vannak Ryan-nel kapcsolatban. Szerettem a karakterét Maui-n és nagyon jók voltak a szex jelenetek, de amikor a lelki kapcsolatról és a lelki társáról beszélt, valahogy az nem jött át. Nem éreztem valóságosnak. Az érzelmei nem voltak meggyőzőek számomra.
