The only real problem with this story was that it was too short. I really wish LC would write full length novels. I loved the whole thing. I'm fond of the mistaken age trope and add in an OTT jealous possessive hero and I'm in my happy land. Just a wonderful hero and some cute situations. I even bought into the whole reason she kept her age secret since he was so aggressive and she was so inexperienced that she knew she couldn't handle him if he knew she wasn't a teenager so he had some breaks on.

Please Ms. Chance write longer books!! ( )

My review:

This was such a hot book! You can taste Raul's frustration and impatience throughout this book. Very well done. I loved it!


Synopsis:

Twenty-one-year-old Elaina Ruiz has only just begun college when she meets Raul Vega for the first time. Recognizing his ruthless intensity for what it is, she doesn’t correct him when he assumes she is an eighteen-year-old freshman.
Raul Vega has never met a woman he couldn’t do without. Until he meets Elaina Ruiz and knows she has to belong to him--even if it means waiting for her to grow up. ( )

This is the 2nd book I have read by Lynda Chance, and I am not sure if I will continue to check her stuff out. It does have her usual OTT Aphahole hero and I quite liked the heroine who did stand her ground at times. But the short length didn't really expand much on that aspect and a lot of the time it was him being all caveman like with his jealousy. But I didn't believe in the resolution when he never acted on her just talking to a guy who had a romantic interest in her - It didn't make me believe he would ever give her the space or the time to get over his issues.

The love scenes were hot and sexy, although the first love scene where he wanted to forgo the condom which she never relented which I was glad - I found that a bit off-putting. I am not sure if I will pick up another book unless its a full one, although I get the appeal of the alpha macho type heroes because I am a bit of a sucker for them but only if it is done well. But for me instead of ticking the boxes - there was a few crosses and it never really reached the cracklicious promise. ( )
