"I’m so ashamed of myself for wanting this. His brand of sex comes with a warning label. That should make me want to run in the opposite direction.-Lexi"



Raw is one sexy and dirty read! We have a sweet heroine who has overcome a challenging childhood. Lexi has devoted her life to helping others. As a case worker, she hands out love and strength like air. She has good friends and a good life. She also has a stalker.

Twitch is hard, plays things dirty, and lives life on the wild side. He too has suffered through a difficult childhood. He has a secret. (view spoiler)[He is stalking Lexi because she helped him once as a child. He has a messed up belief that because Lexi tried to show him goodness and his life was not good...she should suffer. "You need her. Just her. Nothing else. Ignoring my mind’s voice, I look at my prey. She’s the reason I am the way I am. It’s all her fault. And she’s going to pay."-Twitch (hide spoiler)] He wants Lexi. He wants to play with her like a dog and a new toy! There is only one problem that Twitch hasn't prepared for...he falls in love with Lexi.

"Running a hand down my face, I think long and hard about what needs to be done, all the while knowing I won’t ever let her go."-Twitch

When Lexi is with Twitch, she forgets everything about being good. She is reckless and free and she loves it! Twitch begins to see Lexi as a part of him.



Twitch falls hard for Lexi. The sexual chemistry between these two is off the chart. Scandalous and sweet all at once. Lexi and Twitch fall into a comfortable routine. Lexi even helps tame the beast that lives deep within Twitch. Her love begins to heal him.

“ No one touches you. You got that ? As long as I want you, no one else gets you, and after I’m done with you…” He licks my jawline. My eyes flutter. He presses his erection into my thigh. “… you’ll be forever unsatisfied. No one will ever take care of you the way I can. The way I know you want it. I know what you need, Lexi, even if you don’t know it yourself. But I’ll teach you.”-Twitch

Lexi knows that she should walk away. She cannot. She won't. Even when she makes big mistakes. (view spoiler)[I was completely dumfounded with how stupid she was. (hide spoiler)]



Overall, Raw was an excellent read. The emotional development could have been stronger. The characters were obviously physically attracted to one another. I would have liked to have seem a little more emotion from our hero. (I know he is damaged and a super bad ass...but still). Now for the killer of this book. Please do not view this spoiler if you don't want to know what happens. (view spoiler)[I was completely devestated that Lexi tells Twitch she is pregnant and then he is killed. But not really killed because the Epilogue jumps ahead five years and he is watching over her. REALLY???? WHAT????? What I really wanted to see in the epilogue is something like this.....

(hide spoiler)] And what is the hardest pill to swallow? We don't know if there will be a follow up.

After reading raw....you will need to hit this:



and then do a little of this:



What is the moral of this review:
1) I love bad boys
2) I love strong heroines
3) I love HEA.....and when I don't get one I feel like this:



And yet, this book was fabulous! I would totally recommend it!
