After what happened with Michelle, I've sworn off girls. Until the raven haired vixen with red lips seduces me one night...leaving me wanting more. But then I find out who she is, and boy, is she off-limits. But we can't keep away from one another, and if I thought my world was dark, it's nothing compared to hers.

I loved Kaden in Wolf and was excited for his story. I was slightly sad for a second when I found out Michelle was not the FMC but as soon as I met Aphrodite all was good. She is a spitfire of a character that drives Kaden crazy...lol! Kaden does not want to be attracted to Aphrodite but cannot stay away from her either. When he finds out she has a stalker he becomes set on not letting her out of his sight.
Aphrodite is not some weak damsel in distress by any means, the girl can stand up for herself. Luckily for her though, she has Kaden covering her back and wanting to protect her. She is kind of hardheaded when it comes to his protection though because she fears for his safety so she takes matters into her own hands.
I will admit I did not see the two plot twists coming and was left in shock for a moment or two. Linzvonc did a great job at catching me off guard. I wasn't even focusing on a potential plot twist which made it all the better. The last few chapters of this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.
********AUDIO REVIEW********
Amanda Willow and Sean Masters narrate in duet style for a little over four hours of greatness. Both of them are always a pleasure to listen to especially when they have that knack of making the listener feel the emotions.

Omg if I thought I loved Wolfe, welllll now I'm loving Kaden. This poor man had his heart broken in Wolfe and vowed to never let himself fall for another woman again, but all of that changes when Aphrodite walked into the party.
Kaden is highly encouraged to chase her down and let loose after what happened previously. So he does just that. And then reality comes crashing down when she is Jagger's cousin 👀
Aphrodite has a crazy past, especially being a mafia princess, but she has never let that change who she truly is! I absolutely loved her character and how strong she is!
Her and Kaden are seriously a perfect match together! I loved their story and I could seriously keep reading about the two of them forever!

Kaden Kaden Kaden. I devoured this book. I was so excited to read it and see little pieces of Wolfe and Nicole in it. I love when the big tough guy falls for the spicy girl. Linz always delivers with her bad boys and this one did not disappoint.

**Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.75 rounded up)**
I went into *Kaden* thinking this was a college romance, so finding out it was actually set in high school threw me a bit. Reading about school-aged characters usually isn’t my jam, and I definitely had to mentally age them up to feel comfortable. That said, once I adjusted my expectations, this turned into a really enjoyable, dark little ride.
Kaden is obsessed from the jump in that intense, all‑in way I love in a MMC, and Aph is very much a “take what she wants” kind of girl. Their dynamic is bold, unapologetic, and a bit unhinged in the best way. The pacing worked really well for me, there weren’t any big lulls, and the story kept me engaged all the way through.
The spice is dark and delicious, exactly what I was hoping for from this kind of romance. It leans into the darker edges without feeling pointless, and it fits the characters and their chemistry perfectly. The plot twist at the end was fantastic and definitely one of the highlights for me. I didn’t see it coming in the way it played out, and it wrapped things up in a really satisfying way.
I jumped straight into book two without reading book one in the Archer High series, and I could feel that. There were moments where it was obvious there are established relationships and character arcs that started earlier, and I was clearly missing some context. It wasn’t confusing enough to ruin the experience, but I’d probably recommend starting with book one if you want the full emotional payoff.
The narration is where this really shines. Amanda Willow and Sean Masters did a top‑notch job bringing these characters to life. The emotion, tension, and heat all landed because of their performances, and they made it very easy to stay immersed in the story.
Overall, this was a solid 3.75‑star read for me. I wasn’t a fan of the younger age setting, but the way it was written made it easy enough to mentally age the characters up and just enjoy the ride. Dark spice, great twist, obsessed MMC, assertive FMC, and excellent narrators. I’ll definitely be checking out more from this series, but I’ll be going back to book one next time.

Kaden
This is book two of the Archer High series. I absolutely loved the first book, Wolfe, and I loved this one just as much!
Kaden has just broken up with Michelle. When he meets Aph at a party and they hook up, he has no idea who she is. The morning after Kaden finds out that her name is Aphrodite and she is his friend Jagger’s cousin. She is running from a stalker and Kayden has been tasked with keeping her safe.
Kayden finds out that she has a stalker that wants her dead, but he just wants to get in her pants. Aph’s father finds out who is stalking her and sends her to go into hiding. Kayden doesn’t want her to go alone so he joins her in a hidden cabin.
This book is a super steamy but short read but soooo good! I can’t wait for the next archer boy. 😏 Jagger maybe? 🤤

Kaden (Archer High, Book 2) by Linz Vonc delivers a sharp punch of mafia danger, teenage tension, and sizzling chemistry you didn’t realize you needed. Aphrodite is a mafia princess with a target on her back, and someone is determined to unalive her. Enter Kaden, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her… until he has no choice. The push and pull dynamic keeps the tension tight from start to finish.
Sean Masters and Amanda Willow sound phenomenal together. Their voices blend perfectly, balancing grit, emotion, and attitude in all the right places. Blue Nose Audio keeps the production clean and immersive, making this a fast, addictive listen.
If you love protective energy, high stakes danger, and a romance that simmers beneath a whole lot of denial, this one is worth hitting play on.

This is the second book from this series and it was good dark romance.
I had a glimpse of Kaden in Wolfe story and I was waiting to know what the author had planned for him and I was surprised.
I didn’t know I could love Kaden this much, cause Wolfe was already in my heart but Kaden was unexpected. I would have love to know more about Kaden past.
I really appreciated how Aphrodite was, such a strong FC, mouthy, sassy and maybe even worse than Kaden 😅 but it was good.
What I loved the most, was the steamy part 😮💨🥵 their chemistry was so great and the suspense. I didn’t expected the end like this. I love when you can’t predict the end.
With an end like this I want to read the next book to read about Jagger.

Rating: 4.5/5
“The next book is coming up soon.” Words of delight to a reader’s ears. At least to me, as I was anxiously awaiting Kaden’s story. Michelle did him dirty in “Wolfe,” and I felt for him. Felt.For.Him. The poor guy was depressed at the end of the story. I wasn’t ready for the Kaden that was unleashed in this one.
Linzvonc’s “Kaden” is dirty rough, yet protective. Who would have thought it? Linzvonc did. Kaden and Aph have an unusual meet-up at fellow friend Jagger’s party. Unbeknownst to Kaden, Aph is Jagger’s cousin, and he later asks him to look out for Aph because she has a schmalker and is a mafia princess.
Aph is a strong, “I can take care of myself” kind of girl, and Kaden and her clash. But that makes things hotter between the two throughout the story. The story’s mafia plot was exciting and filled with twists I didn’t expect.
Usually, high school romance is not my thing because of their ages and the fact that I have a hard time believing these things are happening in high school. I mean, shouldn’t they be studying for their calculus exam? What about their SATs? But that’s why they call it fiction—I don’t worry about it.

Dang. So good. This started off with Kaden and Michelle breaking it off. Months later he was at a party where he met Aph that was thrown by his friend jagger. They ended up hooking up. It turned out she was jaggers cousin who was staying with him to be kept safe from a stalker. So much happened after that. This is a great read. I highly recommend reading this series.

Where do I start?
I don’t know what the author puts in her books, but they are addictive and somehow, before you know it, you are finished reading them and crave more.
The story was a great idea and it was written really well. I need to get myself some of these men … 🤭🖤

This is another great book from this series. We get to see Kaden fall for a mouthy sexy girl. And she does habe a mouth but she can be sweet too. There is some twists in this book so get ready.

Reading Kaden was a contrast from reading Wolfe by Linzvonc - but I can see the appeal…
Love fated at first site… Kaden knew from the moment he saw his Queen enter the room that he was Fucked and that his life would never be the same again….
The storyline held gravity and poise and had a leisurely pace amidst a continual flow..
I rated Kaden 4/5 stars solely due to the fact that I couldn’t rate it a half star.. and I rated it as such due to the fact the flow of their story was great up until the end of the last chapter..
It was flowing perfectly and then just cut into the epilogue and the energy felt like there was so much left unsaid and a gaping wound as it launched into the epilogue…
I do recommend folks to read this book series as the guys and their women are absolutely amazing to get to know.. and hey every reader is different one May see the justification of how the final chapter breaks into the epilogue…
I just felt like there was more…. So the epilogue was confronting to see as I was waiting to see where the rest of the characters were rushing off to so to speak 🥰🥰 I’ll looking forward to and have already pre ordered Jaggers story 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.

I liked the beginning but then I got bored but beginning was good enough I will keep it at 3 stars. I loved her resistance and sassy side. The plot was boring and way too overly used mafia princess has a stalker so she goes into hiding. The bad guy was so predictable I did not really like Kaden I found him boring and not Wolfe enough. 3 stars.

Kaden is the second instalment of the Archer High Series by Linzvonc. An addictive, fun and fast paced story that will keep you riveted to the spot for the duration of your listen!
A great storyline with a compelling uniqueness. A unique narrative that may be a little on the young side for some. I would have preferred the characters to have been a little older. And with the fantastic voice acting it proved to emulate that for me. I absolutely loved these incredibly talented actors!
Sean Masters it by far one of my favourite voice actor’s and he can do truly amazing things with his voice! A truly outstanding actor who will always make you laugh, scream and occasionally cry! He can certainly command the attention of his audience as well as the entire scene… phenomenal performance as always!
He gives his all with every scene and every single character! Giving them incredible emotional depth and outstanding character development! I will listen to absolutely anything and everything that he does.
Amanda Willow is equally amazing! Her voice is pure magic. She never fails to produce a masterpiece of a performance. Giving the characters she performs a special strength, beautiful depth and emotional balance that is always outstanding to say the least!
Her role as Aphrodite is incredibly powerful and she creates the perfect balance of strength and vulnerability in my opinion. Beautifully executed as is all the characters throughout this narrative.
Overall a fantastic audio experience. A brilliant collaboration between these amazing voice actors. I loved hearing their performances in this story together. They sounded fantastic.
A great storyline with brilliant banter, well crafted characters and an intriguing narrative. I look forward to the next in this series.

“You need someone to protect you from me, princess.”
"You're fucking weird, man."
It's pointless arguing; I am pretty weird.
"You do, Kaden. Go pick a girl and charm the panties off her, take her upstairs, and show her a good time."
It's been a while since I've had to hide in a girl's closet, that's for damn sure. I'm too old for this shit, and Jagger is my buddy. He won't care that I've fucked some girl in his house; he does it all the damn time. Still, I can hear him getting closer as Aph yanks open her door, eyeballing him like a shit stain on her shoe.
It was just sex, bro. Insanely good sex with a man that should carry the name Zeus, but hey.

DUET NARRATION
3.75 ⭐
Thank you Linzvonc & Blue Nose Audio for a #gifted copy of the ALC. All thoughts are my own.
This is the 2nd book in the Archer High series. I did not listen to Book One but this has it's own story that is easy to follow. Previous characters are mentioned but you won't be lost if you missed the first.
My first book from Linzvonc delivered a fast paced, mafia romance with tons of tension, twists & turns and sizzling chemistry from the two MC's. Aphrodite is a mafia princess. She's got a target on her back & someone is determined to unalive her. She's a sassy little thing that Kaden wants absolutely nothing to do with, but circumstances will say otherwise. When he hooks up with her at a party one night, he ends up NOT being able to stay away & ultimately is the one who is given the task of keeping her safe & alive.
Once this book got going for me, it was fast & tense. Listen, the hot chemistry between these two is off the charts. They seem like they can't stand each other but they are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. They can't stay away. Aphrodite is a bada$$ princess who doesn't put up with anything. Kaden is everything you want in a mafia MC, he's obsessed, protective & absolutely jealous beyond belief! He's smart & fast on his feet. Fearless & scared of no one or anything and he's determined to keep Aphrodite HIS!
🎤Let's talk audio: Amanda Willow & Sean Masters were GREAT. Their voices blend perfectly together. They both give grit & spunk to these characters all while performing with emotion & attitude. Amanda makes Aphrodite a strong, mouthy woman but in the best way. 😂 You just don't mess with this mafia girl! Sean is PERFECT at voicing an overly protective, overly obsessed man. He's mouthy, dirty, sexy and a bit scary and Sean just really brings out all of that in his performance.
This is a very quick listen. Let's be real folks, I'm not usually a fan of high school romance but when this story took off, I was riding the fast train and I had no clue where it was going. It was fun, exciting & full of twists & turns. There's a price on a head, a safehouse & a stalker that needs to be found. What more could you ask for? 😂

This is the 2nd book in the Archer High series. I did not listen to Book One but this has it's own story that is easy to follow. Previous characters are mentioned but you won't be lost if you missed the first.
My first book from Linzvonc delivered a fast paced, mafia romance with tons of tension, twists & turns and sizzling chemistry from the two MC's. Aphrodite is a mafia princess. She's got a target on her back & someone is determined to unalive her. She's a sassy little thing that Kaden wants absolutely nothing to do with, but circumstances will say otherwise. When he hooks up with her at a party one night, he ends up NOT being able to stay away & ultimately is the one who is given the task of keeping her safe & alive.
Once this book got going for me, it was fast & tense. Listen, the hot chemistry between these two is off the charts. They seem like they can't stand each other but they are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. They can't stay away. Aphrodite is a bada$$ princess who doesn't put up with anything. Kaden is everything you want in a mafia MC, he's obsessed, protective & absolutely jealous beyond belief! He's smart & fast on his feet. Fearless & scared of no one or anything and he's determined to keep Aphrodite HIS!
🎤Let's talk audio: Amanda Willow & Sean Masters were GREAT. Their voices blend perfectly together. They both give grit & spunk to these characters all while performing with emotion & attitude. Amanda makes Aphrodite a strong, mouthy woman but in the best way. 😂 You just don't mess with this mafia girl! Sean is PERFECT at voicing an overly protective, overly obsessed man. He's mouthy, dirty, sexy and a bit scary and Sean just really brings out all of that in his performance.
This is a very quick listen. Let's be real folks, I'm not usually a fan of high school romance but when this story took off, I was riding the fast train and I had no clue where it was going. It was fun, exciting & full of twists & turns. There's a price on a head, a safehouse & a stalker that needs to be found. What more could you ask for? 😂

Damn linz vonc I thought book one was out off this world but book 2 damn. It was brilliant, I absolutely love Wolfe and Nicole, but I love these two more. This is becoming one of my favourite series this year. What an emotional rollercoaster ride it takes you on leaving, gripping the edge of your seat, a ride that you don't want to get off from. It's packed with so much action, spice, suspense, horror and much more with twists and turns you will never see coming. Once I started I just couldn't put it down. I'm totally hooked to this series. The story, the characters, plots was very well written, it was so perfect. I can't wait to read more , I really hope we get hunters story. Highly recommend.
Kaden isn't the same person he once was, he's a changed man. We get to see him in Wolfe and Nicole's story. He's wolfe's best friend. He was dating Michelle but they broke up.
His friend tell him to get back out there and get over her. So he attends a party where he meets aph they hit it off and have a great night.
He had no clue who she was but that's about to change, when he finds out that's she's Aphrodite and his friends cousin and very off limits, he needs to stay away from her. But that is impossible specially when his friend asks him to keep an eye on her.
He finds out that she has a stalker that wants to kill her and that's why she came over here. He wants to protect her at the same time knowing he needs to keep his distance but he just can't expecially now that the stalker might have found her again.
He decides to go to a safe house with her to protect the mafia Princess. But things take a turn.
They have intense chemistry and are soul mates but they need to get through this stalker business if they even have a chance at a happy ever after. Will they overcome it? Will she survive ?
It's a must read , it's so worth it and definitely recommend.

Just when I thought Linz von c couldn’t top Wolfe she hits us with Kaden. I was so intrigued by him after Wolfe and his story did not disappoint. Trying to get over Michelle vowing off women just to be hit with Aph… really Aphrodite….his friends cousin….. Kaden tried to fight the feelings but it was an uphill battle when faced with the goddess herself. Her name rang true for how she made Kaden feel. Aphrodite needs protection and who better to do it than Kaden. They fall for each other… trying to protect their own hearts. Aphrodite is quite the little spitfire for taking on a war in her own. Thankfully Kaden is there to help. Aphrodite is now faced with a completely different world but who better to have by her side than the man who would burn down the world for her. This story was spicy with suspense the perfect combination. I was convinced I knew who the villain was from go but was utterly shocked when it was revealed. I didn’t want this story to end. I felt like I could have listened to so much more! Their story it was great. This was a quick listen and it truly held my attention desperate to see what was next for us. I cannot wait to dive into the other audio books when they come out. Linz Von C does it again.
This was my first listen of Amanda Willow. She did fantastic with bringing Aphrodite to life. Her voice matched the character perfectly. As always Sean Masters smashed this one. He plays the bad boy so well. His voice was pure perfection as Kaden! This paring was perfect for this story. Both narrators did a fantastic job.

Kaden does not play and I am hear for it. I think I love Kaden more. Kaden is still trying to get over Michelle. Of course his best friends, Jagger, Wolfe, Colton, and Hunter, are telling him to get back on the horse. He needs to find someone else to take his mind off of her, even if it just for one night. Kaden was not interested until he saw her. Aphrodite Dahla, Aph, moved there from Pittsburg with her best friend, Molly. Aph is Jagger’s cousin and off limits to the guys. Unfortunately Kaden found this information out a little too late. Aph was the target of a stalker and was sent to Archer High to finish her senior year. Jagger, who no longer attends school, has requested that Kaden keep an eye on Aph while in school. Kaden is the only one he trusts with her.
Kaden knows his history with women. He loves quickly and hard. He cannot let that happen with Aph. Being so much alike, they are both drawn to each other. Kaden is trying his best to keep his distance, but failing miserably. He just can’t seem to stay away from her. How can he when Jagger is expecting him to look after her? Everything blows up when it looks like her stalker has found her again. Kaden is the only one that can protect this mafia princess. So he goes with her to a safe house and things go from bad to worse. What will Kaden do to keep Aph safe?
I loved both Kaden and Aph. They are both so strong and independent. They needed one another. I can’t wait to see what the future will hold for the other Archer High boys. Jagger is up next and I can’t even imagine the amount of mess he is going to get into.

I was so obsessed with Wolfe when I listened and was so invested in these characters I love Linsvonz writing and this series!!
Did I devour this in one sitting - Yes I did.
I couldn’t stop listening it was SO GOOD!!! The voyeruiusm scene was something I didn’t see coming and yes I did listen twice 😏
Kaden is a bad boy and wants people to believe he doesn’t care about anything but the way he cares for Aphrodite is next level. He falls first and hard! Aphrodite needs protection from a stalker and so her cousin Jagger asks Kaden to protect her the banter these two have was 🔥Kaden is possessive and everything a bad boy is and Aphrodite is a mafia princess who is full of sass and no one is going to stop me energy.
Amanda Willow as Aphrodite was so perfectly casted she brought all the energy and character that Aphrodite possesses to life in such a beautiful way I loved her performance so much!! The emotion she brought as well I really felt connected in the scenes. Her portrayal of Verona was exactly what was needed for the character and made me really dislike the character!!
Sean Masters as Kaden was amazing always he plays bad boy so well and Kaden was growly and broody in all the ways it was needed with the possessiveness Kaden has for Aphrodite. I love how Sean brought so much emotion to the flashback scenes.
I cannot wait for book 3! I’m loving this series and so interest in what Jaggers story will hold.

Kaden is book 2 in the Archer High series. Kaden is ready to move on and the best way to do that is to find someone new but no-one is interesting him, that is until he sees her the vixen Aph. They have a wild night together then everything changes the next morning - she is Jaggers cousin and that is a no go and add to that she is connected.
Aphrodite is here with Jagger as she has a stalker and they don’t know who it is. She needs to stay safe and then when it’s time she will be taking over the family business. Then she meets him Kaden, he is everything but also frustrating and pushes all her buttons. Thing is she can’t have commitment she can’t get close to anyone.
These two have an instant chemistry that just burns as our story progresses and they are our unadulterated fire.
What happens when things escalate with her stalker, what else but go into hiding and kaden goes with her.
I thought we knew Kaden from Book 1, but in reality all we got was a glimpse of who he was and that did not even scratch the surface. He is dangerous, hot, possessive, alpha male and all kinds of wrong that really aren’t wrong at all. The depths he will go to for those he loves to protect them.
Aph is strong willed and minded and sassy. She is not a spoilt princess but a fighter.
I loved every minute of Kaden’s story and wait for book 3.

Kaden is the second installment of the Archer High Series. While I personally enjoyed Wolfe’s story more, Kaden’s and Aphrodite’s story is great read.
We met Kaden in Wolf’s and Nicole’s story where it ended with Kaden’s relationship with Nicole’s best friend ended. Kaden’s story starts off a short time after the breakup. I will admit I was hoping Kaden’s story involved a second chance with Michelle as he broke her heart and ended things with her in such a cruel way. I really wanted that apology! However, as is in the world of authors, new characters demand an introduction and want their story.
Kaden meets his match in Aphrodite. She is tough Mafia princess that knows exactly what she wants. When these two meet, fireworks fly. Add in a stalker, hot smexy times and you have the ingredients for an action-packed story. This was a great read. The twists and turns kept you interested and wanting to know who the threat was.
If you have not read any of Linzvonc books, I highly recommend getting this book and others.
A word of caution: This book does contain dark themes and the interactions between the two main characters may be triggering to some. There is also violence; not between the main characters but directed towards the FMC.

Kaden meets Aphrodite at a party and within minutes they are in the bedroom. The next morning he finds out that she's his best friend's cousin and she's supposed to be off limits. Jagger asks Kaden to watch over her while they are at school not knowing that Aphrodite is hiding from her stalker. The attraction and interaction between them is hot!!
Aphrodite finds out that her stalker found out where she is hiding, and she has to leave. Her father sent guards for her but Kaden volunteers to comes with her to keep her safe. Aphrodite thinks that it would be safer for her to go after her stalker herself and she drugs Kaden and leaves her safe house. Not knowing that one of her trusted guards double crossed her and delivered her to her stalker, which is the one of her rivals. The ends up killing Aphrodite's parents and she tries to kill Aphrodite, but Kaden comes to her rescue. What is Kaden's background? Maybe i should have read book 1 but this book was really good and even though Aphrodite's parents died it ends with an HEA.

This is the second book in the series, but not second place in my heart! I loved the first book, and I love this second book even more!!
Kaden and Aphrodite meet with a bang - literally....when Kaden finds out who she is, he knows she is off limits as much as he doesn't want her to be.
When threats from her family follow her to her new life, Kaden won't let anyone else protect what is his...whether she lies it or not.
They can't deny the chemistry they have, even though they fight it until they just can't any longer. Once they come to terms with their true feelings, nothing will stop them from getting rid of any and all obstacles to be together not matter what.
There are so many twists and turns I didn't see coming, I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I loved that they had some real struggles with themselves and each other, but once they committed themselves to each other, nothing was going to stop them.
I loved this second installment so much, mostly because it was a completely different story. Not just a re-telling with a few changes from the first book. I can't wait for the third one if they are going to keep getting this much better.

For me Kaden started well. My first notes on it begin: this is an absolute treat of a bully romance. Loving the hot chemistry between Kaden and Aphrodite. Aphrodite is tiny powerhouse never needing the 'babysitting' service but Kaden, unable to fight his attraction to her, turns into her protector. Then, as the book turns into a Mafia kidnap and rescue I find myself writing notes like:
sadly this story has now taken a dive into been there read-it-so-man-times-before boring land. However, the target audience, young adult plus, would enjoy it. And finally deciding that while it is a well written story with all the right ingredients the story felt rushed and suffered for it.
So it's a bit of a mixed bag from me! Remember I have read hundreds of books so have read this trope many times, but if it's new for you you will get an entirely different opinion.
Couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars. Maybe 3.5 would be a better rating.

The narrators Sean Masters and Amanda Willow did a fantastic job! Both of their performances made significant impressions on me. Amanda’s sweet voice has the perfect cadence for Aphrodite’s essence and persona. Sean has brought out the best traits of Kaden starting with his broodiness and possessiveness. Man oh man when Sean growls dear lord my poor panties!
Well that was sweet, fast, and to the point! She doesn’t realize just how dark his world really is, as much as she’s protecting him or trying to keep him from getting mixed up in her world. What she doesn’t know is that it’s too late. There’s nothing this man won’t do for her. From edging her, to taming her brat, to getting rid of people that are after her.
She tried to escape without him in order to protect him. But it’s a good thing he’s determined, she needed his help. She didn’t see it coming, but she definitely needs to watch the ones that are closest to the family. They will always be the ones to betray first. Jealousy is never a good thing.

Kaden's not looking for anything after a bad breakup. Aphrodite is a mafia princess whose on the run from a stalker. After a night together, Kaden learns that Aph is the cousin of his friend Jagger. Kaden has been asked to help protect Aphrodite. The two, who should stay away from each other, just cant seem too.
I loved that Aphrodite is a strong, sassy FMC. She is use to handling things on her own. Kaden is gritty and is instantly obsessed with Aph. He's fiercely protective and will stop at nothing to make sure no one hurts her.
Amanda Willow was a perfect fit for Aphrodite. She brought out her sass, strong character but also the vulnerability she has with Kaden. Sean Masters has a talent for bringing out the many aspects of a character and Kaden was no different. From gritty, to demanding, obsessed and protective to a scary point. Amanda and and Sean were perfect for these roles together.
This story was short, but it packed in Mafia, action, suspense, and definitely some spice!
