Publisher's summary

Enigma: a person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand.

Isaac Holt is the very definition of an enigma. He is mysterious, dangerous, alluring and knee clankingly gorgeous. After a chance meeting, I was falling at his feet, literally. His magnetizing allure has the ability to electrify all of my senses with the simple touch of his fingertip.

But no matter how much my body craves Isaac's touch, I can't have him. Morally and ethically, he is off limits. He is the enemy. My rational thinking head logically understands this, but my lust-driven heart needs a little more convincing.

A story about two people who are destined NOT to be together. This is not your typical love story.

Not everything is black and white. There is a whole heap of gray that no one pays any attention to.

Contains mature themes.

ridiculous more like a 3.5

I had a hard time finishing this book only because . Isabella is a FBI agent who cries alot and always seems to have a ridiculous amount of clinching WAP every time Isaac is in the same room or she thinks about him . this is a 4 book story hoping it gets better

Solid plot line with lots of fire!

This first book has me sucked into Isabell and Issac’s story completely. There’s a great mix of chemistry and danger with these characters. These two run HOT for each other. Isaac is bossy and withdrawn yet can’t keep away from Issy. Isabel is determined and I think there’s a lot more to her story than we are given.

Even though it’s inevitably headed for a crash and burn you can’t help but want to know how mad Isaac will be. There’s no way that it can end well for them but Shandi keeps you hooked on what’s to come! Enigma of Life is sexy and sinful, the good girl playing with fire. Instantly moved on to the next book after a cliffhanger that you may see coming but want to see where it goes.

Monique Makena did great with the narration! Keeping you involved in the story and able to fully voice all the characters.

I had high hopes but…

… unfortunately, it was a let down. I enjoyed the relationship developement between Isabelle and Harlow and became a bit more interested toward the end of the book but I was close to giving up completely during the first few chapters. I am invested enough that I’ll move in to the sequel but I don’t have grand expectations.

loved it

I loved the story and the narrator did an amazing job. the only thing I hated was the saying ' my inner vixen' over a dozen times.

Not impressed

Before I chose this story, I read many reviews and most were good. I was not impressed and felt the reviews were mislead. The heroine was nothing but a sex object who made the H steer her to be his sex object and she loved it! She also supposed to work for FBI? Wow! This is nothing but trash! Isaac’s story had four parts which I will not continue. If you like alpha male and dumb heroine, this one is for you!

author reads romance novels

This is a regurgitation of many other romance novels and heavy on the use of a thesaurus but gave a star because the author finished an attempt. Characters aren't well thought out and that lack makes the story hard to follow or enjoy.
