Never judge a book by its cover. That statement is very true of this book, because I *hated* this one's cover, but the story was very good.The Alex on the cover vs. the Alex described in the book didn't match up for me at all, so I just mentally blocked that cover picture when it came to Alex. The cover Alex looked like a douchey hipster with straight, greasy dishwater blond hair and cheesy sunglasses, but in my mind I stuck with the blond curls and gunmetal-blue eyes as described in the book.That being said, I was glad that the initial feel of the book, BDSM 401, calmed down and didn't quite go there. Yes, Alex was a pushy, domineering bastard the entire book, but Ridley never allowed Alex to force him into the dominated little flower role that you'd see in a lot of books.Ridley had his own opinions and was damn sure going to express them, which kept the book from getting all 'girls gone wild' on the whole dom/sub scenario. There was a really cool push/pull from both characters that was a great balance and entertaining as hell.I would have read the book for the restaurant scene alone. "Sir, would you like me to call you an ambulance?" I nearly peed myself. : )Highly recommended and it's deserving of more than Goodreads' current '3.64' rating. 4 1/2 Stars, rounding up, in spite of the shitty cover. Alex and Ridley were amazing. The chemistry was really hot. However, I don't like the story itself. It was really shallow. Ridley is a mysterious character with a hidden past and his past comes to meet up with him. As it turns out Alex is a police officer who was witness to a crime and is now in witness protection. Alex and Ridley have to go away, and this unexpected turn of events puts a heavy toll on their relationship. So they go away, after a few minor attempts on their life. In the end they just up and go no big encounter with the bad guy yah-dah-yah. 4 weeks of silence from Alex and when Ridley thinks all is lost Alex shows up. The reason he wasn't in contact was because of his 4 week debriefing.-_- Lame. Not one of Peterson's better stories.
Do You like book BAMF (2014)?
It was simple, sweet and ridiculous. The ending was refreshingly uncomplicated. So 4 stars it gets.
