What I liked- The way that they pretty much knew they were for each other from the moment they saw each other again. The MC’s sense of loyalty and family. The fact that they are not 1% ers but still manage to protect what’s theirs. The pacing of the plot. The blend of action and romance, with some good zexytime. What I didn’t- there were a couple of continuity errors. First, the numbering of the book didn’t match on the cover and the title page. Second, his past is a little murky- it said he left home at 14 when his grandmother died, and later it said he left home at 18 and made no mention of the grandmother.
Special note- the author bio says that she was born in Italy. If English is her second language, I’m amazed; you’d never be able to tell. Her English is far better than my Italian would ever be (I know like four Italian words and three of them are swear words).
I was fortunate enough to receive an advance review copy of this book for free and I am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
