So i thought long and hard about my review for this book; i happen love Ms. Dymond's SEAL's series and so was interested in what her next foray would be. I loved that this book had a really good storyline, snarky humour and of course some really hot sex scenes. However, i felt confused a few times throughout the story; at the start, i wasn't sure if the heroine of the story was Allison or Lucy (its Allison) and if Luke or Ben was the hero (its Luke), there was so many uncles to keep track off (because Allison is essentially a mob princess and not to forget that one uncle has been reincarnated into Scar the Rottweiler!) Whew... and believe it when i say those aren't the only characters in this book! So while i really, really liked this book, i couldn't give it the full 5 stars (due to my confusion...). However i think if she wrote a story about Lucy and Ben, i would probably give that one 5 stars...i happen to like Ben's character A LOT! And i think Lucy needs her HEA too :)
If I could I would definitely rate this book 4.5 stars... it was a little cheesy at times but to be honest sometimes those are the best books. Not to mention it was humorous... I mean the prologue alone, just cracked me up!
