Wow !
The 1st book of the 3-book series is the story of the eldest McCord child - Callum who's paired up with Emery after whom he has lusted from afar for the past 5 years! The unraveling of the same is quite interesting. It is a great read, keeps you engaged with the witty conversation between various characters (not limited to just the protagonist), passion, intrigue, and a strong portrayal of Emery who's able to hold her own with Callum who is a super Alpha male, the 5 yr plan of Callum to claim Emery.Go ahead download & read, you will enjoy the story & how it plays out. It's part of the KUL subscription.

4.25 stars!
This book was full of passion, humor, witty banter and some mystery. Callum was an enigma and when he appeared in Emery's life it seemed that everything in her perfectly constructed life was going wrong one after the other and he was her only hope. Emery's personality was so colourful and the way she humbled Callum with her jabs was entertaining. Callum was her perfect match because the come backs he delivered were amusing. Their chemistry was great and the build up of their relationship was satisfying. I don't want to give anything more away about the plot but I can definitely say that I devoured this book and there was never a single moment when I felt bored because Callum & Emery together were one entertaining mess!

Aaaarrrgghhhh
OMG... What did I just read? It was addictive to the core!! The hero i would love to hate and still have him... I mean he was sweet and possessive. In love and obsessive. Should I love him or question myself as to why and how can I ? He was so hot. It gave me whiplash. I think only a girl like Emery could handle him! So glad I read this book! Can't wait for Cole!!!

Erotica Exaggerated!
Erotica Exaggerated!I liked the personality and funny talk of Emery.Callum is a psycho. 3 continuous chapters on erotica was disgusting.Baby poop sandwich was repelling.

Swoon-worthy masterpiece
What the hell did I just finish reading! Oh god this book is a disaster for all hearts out there because it would leave a mark on them. Though twisted, dark and scary with an obsession greater than mountains Callum is a man beautifully in love. Emery is a firecracker who has his heart bursting with her temper. I swooned over their journey and enjoyed every bit of it. Just finished reading it and now I know I am not getting over it anytime soon.

4.5š! Bulldozer, thy name is Callum McCord!
In the first half I thought hero Callum was dark and mysterious but towards the middle I understood the truth. He is completely UNHINGED!Be warned he is totally a morally grey hero.But there was something inherently good and endearing about him. Like he said, I canāt decide if āheās a good man who does bad things or a bad man who does good thingsā.Emery had such a sassy attitude. I loved how she constantly fought with Callum for the sake of it and because of his stratospheric arrogance, and put him in his place.But for me their banter was the highlight. As always with this author the dialogues and the monologues were awesome. All the characters were unique and eccentric with a humour sense.Still I disliked Emeryās friend Dani so much. I didnāt feel like she was a good friend to Emery.Canāt wait to read more from this series.Also, I highlighted half if the book.Overall a well written, at times predictable romance with scorching hot scenes.Safe, KU and recommended.-hero obsessed, morally grey hero.-fake relationship and witty banter.-marriage of convenience, billionaire romance.-he falls first.
P**.
This book has my heart
First book after Zade Medows and Killian Carson to have as my desperate desire for a future husband is Callum McCord and I would beg God a million times for a man who will go ends of the earth to love me and obsess over me and do anything to have my love

Hilarious
Emery & CallumGawd the banter between Emery and the girls, as well as her inner dialogue with herself, had me in stitches.The witty banter between Callum and Emery, I was cracking up.Ok letās be honest, I was cracking up through out the whole book. This is one of the funniest books Iāve read.Callum is one possessive alpha, with the need for controlā¦ok LOTS.Heās got an incredible filthy mouth who gets what he wantsā¦i donāt think he knew what he was signing up for with Emery š¤You canāt deny the chemistry between them, a little unhingedā¦I eat it up! Loved every minute of it.Gawd I loved Emery and her quirkiness. Oh boy did she keep Callum on heās toes.

Choosing āThe Oneā With Truly Unconventional Means
Well, JT, your stellar storytelling magic never ceases to amaze me! Itās safe to say that Callum and Emery become a married couple like no other. These two characters are SO memorable and their incessant continuous witty bantering is off the charts!!!! Callum is enigmatic, charismatic, generous to a fault, a boldface liar, sexy, and caring all wrapped into one unique individual. Emery is a financially stressed, stand on your own two feet small business owner who gets sucked into the vortex of Callumās unusual proposition. Then the wild roller coaster ride of revelations begins and let me tell you, itās one crazy, unforgettable journey. The communication between these two will have you in stitches laughing and grinning. Masterfully written!This story plays out with many twists and turns and is SO entertaining! The heat is off the charts. Very sexually explicit scenes which were a little too graphic at times, (my opinion). However, the story itself made the read well worth it.There is a cameo appearance of one of my favorite characters from past series. If youāre a fan of Ms. Geissingerās books you may realize who Iām referring to. I wonāt spoil it for you. I would be amiss if I didnāt praise the Audible narration for this book. What an amazing production. It adds so much to the story.The storyline can be best summed up by the following passage in the book when Callum states, āThere are a million shades of gray between good and evil. Am I on the darker end of the spectrum? Yes. Am I a bad man who does good things or a good man who does bad things? Both.ā This passage gave me pause to reflect on this perspective and how it is the truth of many scenarios in life.Take a chance with this story. You wonāt regret it. JT, your creative mind and storytelling skills are to be commended. Canāt wait for Callumās brother, Coleās story. I have to wait for the Audible to be released to fully invest in it. 5 plus stars!!!!!

Devoured.
Callum and Emery had me in a choke hold. For REAl. I knew going in Cal was not a hearts and flowers kind of guy but this morally grey man had me thirsty and curious.Emery is hilarious. Her monologue had me in stitches because she just could not keep her mouth closed, all her internal thoughts were out there. All the crazy, all the dysfunction. It was so relatable given her circumstances. She wad fiesty but not obnoxiously so. Justified in her concerns but also... the man is hot and there is only so much control!.They had me creased. The bickering and banter .. elite. The chemistry!!!! Holy moly. It was off the charts.The way this author has the story flowing is just perfection. Honestly not one complaint.If you love yourself a morally grey man who isn't doing the right thing for any reason. Who's actions are purely for his own selfish wants? But it's equally delicious. Then my friends this is your read. Also a woman who stands for herself and doesn't take any bull? .. this is it.Now onto the next!

Lies, secrets and an attraction that cannot be denied.Callum loves Emery with all he has and although you morally shouldn't you can't not fall in love with him.

Callum has a secret life that Emery slowly discovers and will finally make her pack her bags! Callum gives her space but has Killian keep a watchfull eye on her. Callum's love is strong and so is Emery's but she feels betrayed. Of course there is a happy end.I loved this book and read in one go during a sunny afternoon. I just couldn't put it down. The banter between Callum and Emery is so funny, I just laughed out lout, Emery is a hell of a cookie. All and all it is a must read. Callum made me swoon, and perhaps it shouldn't but it did. Callum and Emery are a great couple. I cant wait to read Cole's story, I have pre-ordered it straight-away!
