I received this ARC book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
Holey.....wonder!
Hunter is taking crime families off the grid, and that is due to the fact these crime family boss' sold him out. He is a "ghost" who is seeking his revenge. He never intended on seeing/finding Biana. Considering she belonged to the family of the biggest rat in the Detroit area. He is at her grandfather's funeral (of all places) and spots her. Now it is game on. She may play hard to get but Hunter is still drawn to her and her spunk.
Bianca, at her grandfather's funeral is hit on (once again) by her cousin Ricky (who to put it mildly and clean, is a complete pig!) and she starts the same old fight, men in the mafia vs women in the mafia....yada yada (would be coming from Bianca with an eye roll for good measure.) She is so tired of this, and she is creeped out beyond everything because of Ricky hitting on her and his snarky way around her. Then as she is leaving the after funeral meet and eat, she sees this man. At first she thinks he is going to be after her for mouthing off to the leader of the crime families. She soon realizes his look is far from innocent and far from coming to get rid of her. Oh no, that look she is getting is pure, unyielding, unadulterated lust.....and she likes it.
Hunter has been sold out and is living on the streets, literally. He is in an abandoned warehouse, trying his best to stay off the grid, all while killing off the men who wronged him. Now he is at the after funeral gathering, when he spots her. She is a fighter and she is spunky and he is hopelessly smitten....what has come over him. He goes to a strip club, rents a room and a girl, and seriously he leaves without partaking. He can't get her off his mind. So now he is going to win her over. He just didn't realize that he was being won over and he didn't realize it. Is he going soft? What good can come of this relationship?
Bianca can't get over her cousin Ricky, the dumb creep, hitting on her and then pushing the very old school ways to her. How dare he do this at her grandfather's after funeral gathering? Selfish jerk, and then as she is storming out of there to go to her room, she spots this mysterious man, and she is like a moth to a flame....drawn in and unable to break the hold. She can't seem to get him off her mind, and now she is going to a club with her friend to put all of this behind her before going back to school (college) in another week or so. He is there and he is not taking no for an answer, she plays hard to get, and he is snarky in return.
Can they solve all the issues that are thrown at them? Do they banter but that is all? Are there tugs at the heart strings for these two? I will answer the last one, in the twist of this book, there is a tugging at the heart strings, and you will never guess who it shows up for first....not to mention their chemistry is off the charts. Love it.
Please read Kara's newest book, you will really love it too.
