  1. When I listen to smut, I’m no longer a plus-sized girl with a guitar-shaped figure. I’m just another curvy girl ready to lose every ounce of my feminism when the narrator growls: "Are you going to give me what I want, little girl?"

Cade and Abby's second chance romance should have never had to be a second chance. What I mean is they were meant to be.The book has all the right elements for everything we love about a second chance romance and Cade could be great book boyfriend material, but he's just too grumpy.Abby I feel pined and apologized for too long.I overall enjoyed their story and was happy that they finally realized they belong together just felt grudge maybe could have been reigned in a bit and Cade could have groveled more.I have voluntarily left this review.

Cade is a highly successful professional cricket player whose endorsements have given him a fat bank account. All he wants though is revenge on his best friend’s little sister. He plans to woo her then break her. His plan doesn’t quite work out. Alphahole who’s got it bad for a curvy former mafia princess. Plenty of steam for ya.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great potential, but not for me
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023

I really wanted to love this one. I think the storyline itself was ok and had some interesting potential. The summary provided with this book covers the second half of the book and doesn't address the first half in my opinion.

Abby makes a mistake as a young teen that causes Cade's life to go off track for a bit and he is holding a huge grudge and wants to get his revenge. Once you learn the mistake and their ages, I'm inclined to say his reaction is slightly over the top. There's always been an attraction between the two and as adults it's palpable for the most part.

Cade is a straight up jerk, not even redeeming really, in the first part of this book and even in parts of the second. I didn't hate him, but I don't think I really liked him either. He just exists in the world of book boyfriends. Abby had her moments of likeability but also was a bit too....wishy washy? Didn't have a backbone? I'm not sure. I just didn't vibe with her till the later half of the book when she was trying to figure out what she wants and she seemed to get it together.

I had difficulty with the timeline. I wasn't sure if things were happening over weeks or days at times. Some descriptions are incredibly repetitive. I'm also not sure if it was supposed to be punishing in the beginning or resemble a dom/sub relationship? I'm no expert, but either way, I'm not sure it was realistic and lacked a lot of core components (like trust, respect, discussions, safe words, etc.).

Overall, an ok read. I'm willing to try another book by this author.

Abby is on her way home from work. She doesn’t live in the best of neighborhoods as she did when she lived with her parents, but it is not a bad neighborhood and her apartment is hers! She got it on her own, just like everything else in her independent life since she cut ties with her wealthy parents. All of a sudden she feels someone take her purse!

Suddenly, a familiar voice says her name and then a big man is chasing after the one who took her purse. He catches him and begins to punch him over and over. She rushes over and stops him. The thief gets away, but she gets her purse back.

Cade, her rescuer, is furious at the thief and at her! He wants to know what is she doing out so late and in this neighborhood. He makes her get into his chauffeur driven car and takes her to her apartment. He is still angry.

Cade has vowed to get even with Abby for betraying him when they were in high school, a private high school where he was a scholarship student. He had lost his scholarship when he was expelled from the school because of her betrayal. He hated her and planned to make her pay!

I loved to hate Cade in this book for how he treated Abby. You understand why he does some of the cruel parts but to be in Abby’s shoes you know it had to be painful for her.

The banter and sexual chemistry between these two kept you hooked on their story. Plus you needed to know the history of their past and how they moved forward.

When Cade finally got his head out of his butt and realized his feelings for Abby are more than he need for revenge, it helped turned this story around. Cade is a good guy it just took him a while to put his ego aside and learn how to grovel for his woman.

This story was not my cup of tea. There was too much sex especially at the beginning. The whole revenge by sex was a little bit dark. The last half of the book was better as there seemed to be more of a story to it. The basis of this book could have been spun into a better story.

What a great book this is, Cade and Abby are enemies from young age, trust was broken and not repaired. Revenge is never a win. This story of The Seven is even better as we learn how they are trying to heal. I have read this series and love it. Thank You L. Steele💕

If you like a woman who takes abuse, and a man who is horrible. Then you will like this book. It’s just me but I cannot stand for women to put up with abuse but wants the sex, or for men to be abusers but it’s ok if they are rich and good looking. The stalker in this book what was up with him leaving when he had her the first time..

Ladies and gents: The Agreement!
Ohmigod...Cade is the King, all muscles, Alphahole to the bones! Abby is his Sparrow, wears her emotions on her sleeve, like a lady in a glass dress and Cade reads her emotions. That makes Abby crazy...or can she use that to her advantage? Read for yourself :) This love story is waiting for you, I just read out the Agreement.
The Agreement is a must read, once reading will not be enough ;)

I love alphaholes but this was not it. I almost dnf’d it 3 times. The FMC was supposed to be plus size, but it was constantly complaining on not being good enough. It’s hard to get through. Also many of discrepancies that pulled me out of the plot. Like what kind of brand endorsement is a billion dollars?? 1.5 stars because the spice was done right. This is the first and last Steele book I’m going to be reading.

This book took me on a whirlwind of emotions, the MC did drive me crazy at times and the way they fought between how they felt for each-other and at times I really didn’t like the MC but then also made me want to keep reading to see what would happen next, and it didn’t disappoint
And who doesn’t love a champagne guzzling dog 😂 definitely a book I would read again and it was good to see characters from other books as well
Looking forward to the next one 😊
