I have to say, my first book from Diana A. Hicks and for me it was a bit of a mixed bag. I liked Ela. She was kind and strong willed. A fighter but vulnerable. Willing to put herself and her heart out there. I didn't like the situation she found herself in with with her dad but I was glad she had Matt. To say their first meeting was a disaster is putting it mildly. I enjoyed how Ela pushed Matt's buttons and how he tried so dang hard to resist her. But when the danger she was in kept escalating, he finally let his softer side, the one that couldn't stop thinking about her, show. Provoke You was a whirlwind of danger and scheming, steam and resolve. I didn't see that final twist of who was behind everything coming. With all the build up, and mayhem, I was wanting a little bit more of a showdown. But the ending redeemed it. I liked how Matt and Ela, people from two very different worlds found their common ground. About the Author Diana A.
