Book Review Free Hostage by S. Ann Cole

Title:  Free Hostage

Author: S. Ann Cole

Stars: 3 out of 5

Review:

I wanted to give this book 5 stars. The story is clever, cute, sweet and steamy everything you would want in a Cat and Mouse type of story. I don't know it is the way the author writes or just the story but many times I found the book to be choppy, the wrong use of certain terms made the 22 year old Timberly Day feel 90 years old.
The author gave a authentic feel when it came to the character losing her virginity I will give her points for that.
Honestly the story was choppy why the characters did what they did really didn't feel natural. A lot of talk but very little show. Timberly I suppose to be a genius and yet I wanted to see her use those gadgets but most of the time it was spent with Timberly talking about how hot and the ice blue eyes of her love interest was. readers need more with this story.
After a while as a read I wanted to yell YES I GET IT HE IS HOT AND HAS AMAZING EYES!
the names were cliche at best Jaxon King and the reason why just need more. I needed more reason than they were bored.
Thank you to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for the copy of this story.

Synopsis:
My name is Timberly Day. I don’t drink, but I do know things.  
I know the heart beats over 100,000 times per day.  
I know for every one second, lightning strikes the Earth 100 times.  
 
I also know that Jaxon King—the bloody tosser!—is a muddler.  
A manipulator. A liar. A con, a thief...and a closet nerd. 
He’s as beautiful as innocence, as harmless as a feather.  
Except, it’s all an illusion.  
 
I see him and I see lies. I smell him and I taste deceit.  
And still—fool that I am—I rush in. 
His eyes are like ice. His tongue is like fire.  
His lies are white, but his touch is red hot.  
 
I had the chance to run. 
I didn’t.  
Now, I am a part of the game. 
And the only way to win...is to give in.

About The Author:

S. Ann Cole is an exaggerator, a laugher, sometimes overly chatty, sometimes overly shy. She’s afraid of cats, dogs, snakes—heck, she’s only tolerable to gold fishes in a tank.
She hates fireworks, schmaltz and arrogance.
She loves carbs, full moons and humility.
She lives nowhere and everywhere.
Jokey people are her favorite people to be around, as laughter is the way to her heart.
She's also #TeamBreezy and #TeamMiley and she doesn't care what you think about that. 

When Ann’s not abusing her computer keyboard, you can find her nosing a novel, watching anything on television that makes her laugh until she breaks into hiccups (loves Disney, TBS, and Impractical Jokers!) studying the Bible, or sipping red wine.
