GRR Reviews Beloved (The Salvation Series Book 1) by Corinne Michaels

Beloved somehow just never connected with me. I wasn't sure if it's the diction, the plot, or the characters... Probably the characters, that never gained my sympathy. The cliffhanger ending didn't help. But let me recap...

Catherine had been left behind by her father, then by her fiancee of five years. She is not about to trust a man ever again... Until she ran into Jackson. She knew Jackson will wear her down, but in the end, he will leave her, just like all the other men did. But Jackson is so nice...

So basically, you have Catherine being a whiny woman preemptively playing hard-to-get bitch, while Jackson decided to play martyr with infinite patience and glutton for punishment. And there's a cliffhanger, so basically, he had a personality flip for book 2. That's just not doing it for me at all.
