ARC REVIEW: Entice (Evolve #3) - S.E. Hall

Entice (Evolve, #3)

5 Sawyer Caveman Stars!
ARC received for an honest review

”You can have me.”, he whispers onto the back of my hand, placing a kiss behind his words. “All you have to do is take me.”

I would like to start this by asking, WHERE CAN I FIND A SAWYER AND CAN I KEEP HIM? And I would also like to know if he comes with a “crew”.

Entice is a heartwarming, cute, adorable, challenging, enticing and a little emotional story about a man pining for a girl he never got the chance to know her name and then finally seeing and meeting her in an unexpected and rather (welcome) surprising moment. And about a girl left with no one, no family or friends, and is doing her best to survive and live well given her situation.


Sawyer Beckett is a dirty-mouthed, protective, loyal, supportive and fiercely loving guy not only to this girl he looked for everywhere but didn’t find (and eventually did) but also with his “crew”. He is hard-working but also sort of a manwhore, which he fully admits to himself and reasons out that ”it’s just sex” and “he couldn’t keep his mind off that girl”. But even with his whoring ways, I didn’t find myself frustrated with him or the urge to punch his balls for what he’s doing. Sure, it would’ve been nice if he wasn’t always ready to get laid with any girl he finds but then he wouldn’t be the Sawyer who can show how much he can change because of love.


And speaking of Sawyer and love, here’s Emmett Young, the first love of his life, the one he searched for in every bars and the girl he was pining for for months. She is independent, determined, alone, but very tough. She has some insecurities so although she has accepted her situation, she doesn’t want to burden anyone with it, especially Sawyer.

Their friendship to love story

Sawyer and Emmett’s story started out as strangers to co-workers slash friends to romantic. I loved the transition that Ms. SE Hall made with their relationship. Their friendship was intense but not sexual, their attraction to each other palpable and sizzling, and when they finally got together, it was wonderful and heartfelt.


That situation Emmett is in was a surprise to me. I didn’t see that one coming, and I definitely didn’t expect Sawyer’s reaction to it. It was surprising but touching and it just proved to me how much Sawyer can give to someone he truly treasures and adores.

Their entire story isn’t just about them, but also about their relationship with their friends, the crew. This group of friends that Sawyer has, who eventually also became Emmett’s, is one that every person is lucky to have in life. They are so bonded that they became each other’s family. They support each other, celebrate with and for each other, and readily gives it to someone hard and real when that someone needs a reality check.

This book made me laugh more times that I can count and unexpectedly broke my heart, made me cry, and then put my heart back together, made me smile and then cry happy tears.

Stars: 5 stars!
Recommended to: Lovers of foul-mouthed loving guys with a strong yet vulnerable at the same time heroine.
