Sonnet Coupled

*I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with an ARC in return of an honest review*

This was a pretty fast read.

Sonnet and Griffith are both ambitious people who are serious about their respective careers. They also harbor a lot of pain. It's intense attraction from the first sight for both of them. But it takes a long time for them to proceed with their feelings, because the last thing they need is a relationship to distract them from their jobs. Not to mention, they are both in demanding professions, an aspiring doctor and an aspiring cop. But when they do finally on their feelings, it's as intense as it can get. That doesn't mean the issues work themselves out, though. They still have to decide if they want to make it a serious relationship; or give up the rare connection they have with each other, for their careers.

There's a LOT of detailed smut in this book, and quite well-written too. But I felt that the smut took away from the other stuff. I liked that these two take time to get to know each other before they jump to doing the dirty but once the smut starts, it just doesn't seem to end.

I liked the characters well enough. Sonnet struggles with loneliness with the recent death of her father still fresh on her mind, and Griffith with his time in Marine. But I think that these issues could have been explored more explicitly. I liked the problems that these two face in their jobs, with a demanding boss, jealous colleagues and dodgy mates. I just hoped for a deeper look at the serious issues plaguing the main characters.

It was a fast paced book and I never lost my attention. But the writing at parts felt a little forceful and doesn't flow smoothly as much as I'd have liked it to. But it works as a steamy romance with great chemistry between the leads.

Sonnet had dedicated herself to becoming the best she could be. She is now an ER nurse but wants to get into medical school and be a surgeon. She feel she is at last honoring her dead father’s wishes. She is close to being accepted into medical school. Griff is an ex Marine attending the Police Academy during the day and working as a security guard at the hospital during the graveyard shift. Sonnet is also assigned to this shift. Sonnet believes griff is a one night stand type of guy and very self absorbed. It doesn’t matter as Sonnet doesn’t date. Both Griff and Sonnet are determined to get better careers. No one has affected Sonnet like griff does but she is determined to fo;;ow her career path with no distractions. Sonnet gets an opportunity for a scholarship at John Hopkins Hospital. Griff has been posted in the ER where Sonnet works. Sonnet lives in the house that her dad left her but she wants a roommate.Sonnet has no family left and talks to her grandmother's picture. Griff approaches her about the ad but she’s unsure about a male roommate. Especially griff she bet no one could love griff as much as he loved himself. The Sonnet is attacked in the hospital parking ;lot and griff prevented it from being a lot worse and rescued her. Sonnet may have to rethink her thoughts on Griff. Griff and Sonnet become friends and roommates. Griff is too a big distraction but her heart and body don’t agree.
I loved this book. It did have some hot scenes in it. I loved Sonnets determination especially since she had promised her dead dad. This was very well written in my opinion I didn’t want to put this book down. I loved griff and Sonnet together. This caught my attention from the start and held it until the end. I loved the plot and pace. I also loved Sonnet’s friends at the hospital. At times I chuckled and other times choked up while reading this book. I loved that Griff wouldn’t give up on Sonnet. I loved the twist toward the end. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend this book.
