What a great grumpy/sunshine romance! And not just grumpy, the iciest of ice queens. Natalia is as stiff as they come and what I especially loved was her well developed background and how true to herself she was able to stay as she started to thaw. Bravo JJ Arias. And Professor Sam. Such a wonderfully warm puppy dog to balance out Natalia. Steadfast and true. Yet so spicy. I loved that this was low angst while still having plenty of tension. The subplot about the vampire/Lilith theories lost me, and Sam’s backstory didn’t entirely convince me, but otherwise a fabulous end to this series. It was fun to see Adrianna and Lola, and I especially loved the epilogue.

Short summary: When one of Natalia’s clients calls on her to obtain movie rights from a professor, Natalia is sure she can achieve it. Except Sam isn’t as interested in selling as she is in dating Natalia. But Natalia is a lone wolf, as self-reliant as they come, with rules to protect her walls. There’s no way Sam will scale them…
