This book was very difficult to get into. I would pick it up then put it down for a week or two. Then pick it up. Then put it down again . It felt like Groundhog Day. In the end I finally kept at it .... and.... I loved it.

I had a hard time getting into this book. He is so over the top with his comments and being a jerk to everyone it really is hard to like this guy. Then the way he treats her so harsh and demanding. There is really no relatability to these characters and it makes it really hard to like them or want to root for them to be together. Just wish they could almost get out of their heads with all the internal monologues and talk to each other and get past some things faster.

I like what I’m reading so far, a lot, but there’s a lot of ...conflict to the story-line already in motion and I’m hoping that it doesn’t overshadow the romance that’s also building between Sebastian and Abbigail. We shall see ..... stay tuned!

I was going to expand on the this review before posting on the blog but I've changed my mind because nothing has happened story-line wise that I can even talk about with you because, spoiler! Also, this is only the beginning. Sebastian and Abbigail are going to run thru three books so be patient LOL I can tell you that I am become more of a fan of both these authors the more words I read so ... do with that as you will :)

Wow!!!

I’ve been waiting for this book for quite some time now and it did not disappoint. The banter between Abbi and Sebastian is hilarious. There is a magnetic pull between the two of them that neither can explain.

I love that Abbi stands her ground with Bas and isn’t scared off by his grumbly behavior.

Impatiently waiting to see what happens in book two.

What a great start to a new series by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. Sebastian and Abbigail are the perfect couple even though they came from 2 different worlds and live in two different worlds. Even though Abbigail is only in her early twenties and Sebastian is in his thirties, they both have never been in a relationship so everything that they experience together is all very new to both of them.

Sebastian is used to getting what he wants because he is determined to get his way, which is why he is such a successful businessman. Abbigail is also a business owner who hopes to make it in the big city of LA. She grew up in a big family and has a great support system. When she falls for Sebastian, she is not sure how to deal with a man that basically takes what he wants. When Sebastian finds out about Abbigail's lack of experience, he breaks things off which shocks Abbigail. Abbigail doesn't expect anything from Sebastian but can't believe what he wants her to do in order for them to have a relationship. But their chemistry is very strong and they can't deny what they feel and want from each other. Sebastian even realizes that he wants something more with Abbigail that he has never thought of before which throws him for a loop.

When the two of them finally gets on the same page, it is so hot and they are off the charts. However, things might not end the way that they hoped. This story just pulls you in and gets you so involved with these 2 characters that you want to know what's going to happen next with them and to them. I can't wait for book 2 - Shark's Pride to find out what happens next!

A steamy, intriguing first book in a new series by Angel Payne. A young woman has sacrificed love and relationships to make her dream of owning a restaurant, not just a food truck come true. Delivering lunches to some of Los Angeles richest businesses is a daily occurrence. Her dream is coming true. Saving every penny, creating a stellar reputation and dreaming about Sebastian Shark are her normal. Until things start to change. Something strange is going on in Sebastians world, other than the fact that he seems to want to spend an awful lot of time kissing her, than scolding and ghosting her making for a very confusing situation! Pretty good read, just not quite a five star for me. Looking forward to the next installment.

Shark's Edge by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue is book One in the Shark's Edge Series. This starts the story of Abbigail 'Abbi' Gibson and Sebastian Shark.
Abbi is a very driven business women who is strongly attracted to Sebastian but tries to hold in her feelings because of her goals. Sebastian is a strong powerful dominate man who knows what he wants and usually gets what he wants. Sebastian wants Abbie but things start to derail when someone comes after Sebastian. The mystery starts to finding out who that is.
This is such a great start to their story along with the mystery of what is happening next. I can't wait for the next installment.

Shark's Edge is the beginning of a thrilling ride! The story will hold you captive, between the white-hot chemistry, witty banter, and mystery. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down until the last page, and even then, you'll be counting down until the next book releases. (Lucky for me I already have it!) I couldn't get enough of this story - with the underlying mystery that will have you continuously guessing, to the back and forth steamy banter between Bas and Abbi, you'll devour this book and be begging for more. Angel Payne & Victoria Blue make one hell of a dynamic writing duo, and one of my favorites. The Shark's Edge series is definitely right up there among the best and I can't wait to see where they take us next in this journey filled with romance, angst and a little suspense!

Shark's Edge (Shark's #1) was a great read by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. Sebastian's dream has always been to have the most luxurious Los Angeles skyscraper that be his biggest achievement and legacy. He is on the verge of this dream becoming a reality. Abbigail is a self-made businesswoman who has massive successes. Her biggest obstacle is navigating the egos of her clients, especially the men. Her hardest client is Sebastian Shark, who isn't just a pain for her, she is also attracted to him. They both try to fight the chemistry and attraction that they have for each other. I absolutely loved reading Sebastian and Abbigail's story, and can't wait to read more by the authors.

Abbigail Gibson is a young chef that sees her future filled with success as a restaurant owner. As of now though, she runs a successful business catering to businesses bringing meals to their office buildings and catering private events. She has come to California with aspirations and does not want anything to get in her way. At 22 years of age, she is self-sufficient, involved in the community and surrounded by family. Sebastian Shark is one of Abbigails clients and happens to be very taken with Ms. Gibson. Their firey exchanges set the tone for each steamy encounter, verbal battle, and hard-fought-for love. Abigail and Sebastian have much to overcome including jealousy and sexual proclivities.

Shark's Edge is an amazing story written by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. This first installment will have you turning pages and hoping that Abbigail and Sebastian will end up together. Will Abbigail give in to the pleasures of the body and will Sebastian break a rule of his to get the girl he wants?

Waiting patiently for Shark's Pride- Book 2!

Sebastian Shark and Abbigail sure set the pages on fire in this first installment of this new series by this writing duo who have written other books together. Unfortunately, I haven't read any of those other books but I'm sure interested in reading them now! This is an exciting, intriguing, passionate sexy read but fair warning, this is not a standalone. I'm excited and anxious to read the upcoming installments in this series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Shark's Edge is one fantastic read. I love this start to the Shark's Edge series. I couldn't get enough of this one and was sucked in from the start. Sebastian is brash and I love him. I love how he is in charge and so Alpha. He draws you in from the start and gives you the feels especially when it comes to his sister and niece. Abbigail is simply lovely. I love her strength and how she is with Sebastian. She doesn't let him run her over and isn't afraid to stand up to him. I love the give and take between Sebastian and Abbigail. You get the apprehension when it comes to Sebastian pursuit of Abbigail. This book is just....You have to read it for yourself. I can't wait to find out who is behind everything. This is a series to sink your teeth into.

Shark’s Edge is the first book in this series, so hang on, this is going to be a series you don’t want to miss!
This first book is a fast paced story with a slow burn of passion that is building between Abbi and Sebastian. I really like these two characters. They are complete opposites that are drawn towards each other like magnets. No matter what Sebastian throws at Abbi to push her away he always feels the need to bring her back into his space.
Sebastian Shark is the dark, brooding bad boy type and there is so much we still don’t know and understand about him. What we do know is that the sweet, sassy Abbi has completely turned his life upside down and he has no idea what to do with the feelings he has towards her.
Abbi is so innocent compared to Sebastian. She should probably be afraid of him but instead she is drawn to him and she definitely keeps him on his toes. She challenges him and speaks to him like no one else ever has which is part of what draws him to her.
This may be the end of the book but there is so much more to their story and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

My favorite quote from Abbi: ‘He melted me with his contrition. Gutted me with his naughtiness. Rocked me with his growling protectiveness—before turning me to mush with his dominant passion.’

A love triangle? Maybe, we shall see ;) A novel of passion, in more ways than one! Drama, passion, excitement all blend in this novel that will leave you hanging a little before being able to devour book 2 (I'm waiting impatiently)...The characters are different...good that we get to know them, annoying in some aspects just on the basis of who they are, but over all a nice mix!
