I get angry when allegedly smart characters behave stupidly; abandoning all common sense or logic. I also get frustrated when over half the pages are samples of other books or bonus books leaving the story off in a cliffhanger.

To be clear I won't be getting the next novel as I've no interest in what happens to the characters.

Pretty good

Honestly, in this particular story I would have preferred more STORY and a little less sex. That part started to get to similar in their encounters while there's an awesome story going on with Solomon the serial killer!

To me, a "billionaire bad boy" means he may be rude, entitled, domineering, cocky, or even aggressive. What I didn't expect was that by "bad boy," the author meant "long-standing accomplice to a serial murderer of women." The MC's father is a serial killer and his son does all the body disposal and clean-up for him because . . . loyalty or something? He has PTSD (self-diagnosed, anyway) from all this, but I can't find it to be sympathetic because it's literally from choosing to help his father get away with murder while knowing that he will keep killing.

Dynamic Story

This book has me intrigued because not only is it well written, but it also contains subject matter that makes you wonder how far someone should go in the name of family loyalty when it conflicts with what is right and what is wrong.
I am also enjoying watching thing develop between Becky and Jonathan, and I can't wait to see how things progress in their relationship. Furthermore, this story and its characters has me engaged enough to definitely want to continue on with the series. I look forward to reading part two

Well, this was a nice appetizer!

Yes, it was a surprise when I reached the end of the book. The feeling was, is this it?
It's not the cliffhanging, the story is actually too short, we get information about several characters, and then none of them is fully developed, ok maybe not Jonathan, but still I'd liked a bit more from the book.

The overall is very positive and I'm keen on reading the following books.

I came across this book by accident and am glad I checked it out. The subject matter was intense. It was an interesting story of family loyalty, how far would you go to meet your obligations, and whether family duty overrides right from wrong.

Way to conflicted for me
