Book Review: Entice (Evolve #3) by S.E. Hall

Ever since the first book in this series, I think we've all been anxiously awaiting Sawyer's story. From just the little glimpses of him that we were treated to, it was impossible not to adore him. He sees his friends falling like flies and he finally realizes that he is missing something. Sawyer's own tale of love is everything I knew it could be and more. Sexy, bold, say-it-like-it-is Sawyer had me laughing my ass off. Some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is just hilarious. I love when a book literally makes me laugh out loud.

Ever since we last saw Sawyer at Parker's bachelor party, he's been pining and searching for the beautiful but awful stripper. And of course he finds her at the most inopportune moment. Emmett is everything he's built up in his head and so much more. She's funny and sweet and he is 100% hooked. But she is also carrying a big secret that she knows will send Sawyer packing. I honestly could not figure out what the secret was and was pretty shocked when she finally told him.

We learn so much about Sawyer in this book. Sure he's a player but he is also sweet and loving and fiercely loyal. The way he treats Emmett melts me. I enjoyed Entice just as much as the previous book, though Danie is still my #1, and I hope S.E. Hall has plans for more books about "The Crew." Perhaps we could get Zach's story next?


Excerpt:
Sighing, I wrap a towel around my waist and open the door, ready to try and be at least behave cordially, which I know is only right. “Listen, can I—” “She’s gone.”

I look up, startled by Laney’s voice and even more shocked to see her sitting on my bed. Thank God I put on a towel. “Where’d she go?”

“Home, I guess.” She shrugs. “I didn’t ask. I heard the front door slam and got up to see what the hell was going on. Since you’re here and she’s not, I’m assuming it was her.”

How did I not hear the door slam? Not that I would’ve chased her. “All right, she left. So what’re you doing in here?”

She stands, grabbing some shorts off my floor and throwing them at me. “Go put those on and we’ll talk. Since I’m up,” she reminds me with an evil glare.

I head back in the bathroom to change, and stay in there, locking the door and taking a deep breath. I’m over six feet tall and lift almost every day, but yes, I’m scared to face Laney. Not only is she a hellcat when she wants to be, but I don’t want to see the disgust or disappointment in her eyes. She’s one of my best friends, even more so after becoming roommates, and her opinion means a lot to me.

“Get out here!” she yells when she finally realizes I must be stalling. “Take it like a man.” I might as well go out there or she’ll undoubtedly come in here, kicking in the door or taking it off the hinges in what I have no doubt would be less than five minutes.

She pats the bed beside her when I open the door. “Come sit down. We’re doing this now.”

I hesitantly take a seat, my knee bouncing as I wait for her to speak.

“First, and of the utmost importance, you know I call my father ‘Daddy,’ so hearing your visitors scream it repeatedly in the middle of the night freaks me out. I wake up thinking I’m in some bad Lifetime movie.”

Fighting my smirk, I agree. "Okay, got it." Maybe this little chat won’t be so bad after all. "Second," she stands and tucks my extra pillow between the headboard and wall before sitting back down beside me, "on school and game nights, booty call curfew is eleven. That work for you?"

"Yeah." I sigh and run my hands along my head, wishing I had some hair to pull. "It won't happen again, Gidge. I'm sorry."

She places a hand on my shoulder with a small smile. "Don't be sorry. This is your house too and we hadn't talked about it. Now we have, so we're all good. Any rules you want to put in place?"

"Nah, I'm easy."

"Made crystal clear by the parade of women coming in and out of here." She laughs and scoots away quickly, ducking the pillow I grab and swing at her head. “Speaking of which, been busier than usual lately—you trying to make a little Guinness or Gonorrhea?"

Here we go—this is what she really wants to talk about. It was a nice segue, funny even, but I’m on to her.
