Ajax: Prequel

Ajax & Orion #0.5

by L. Loryn

Ajax accompanies his bad-boy best friend and lover on a quick job gone wrong.

When Ajax and Chris set out for a local BDSM-club, Ajax wasn’t expecting to do anything more than have a good night. He wasn’t expecting to be roped into another person’s kidnapping job, and he wasn’t expecting to meet a beautiful green-eyed stranger, either.

This is a SHORT STORY prequel to Star-Crossed. It is a stand-alone, and you don't have to read this story before you read the novel.

This was....off for me. I honestly was confused through most of it. What exactly does their job entail? I think they are assassins but not 100%. And the 2 main characters are supposed to be together but one was off making out with another guy. I guess their relationship is open. I don't know. Just somewhat confusing for me. Guess I need to read the rest to see what's up

This is the prequel to the series. Its an interesting start. At this point I’m not sure how to take these characters. They seem to be criminals. They seem in some sort of relationship but it appears somewhat open. This is a good set up for the start of the series. There is not a lot of background on the characters other than they are a part of a family of assassins. I feel The Cromwells will be a big part of the series but I don’t know how they fit yet. Needless to say I guess since I’m hooked I’ll read the next book and see where it goes.

3.5 stars - not sure what I neded to take away from this prequel. Hopefully I'll see once I read book 1.

Meh. Kind of intrigued, maybe, but also thinking I might have been better off just jumping into book 1. This definitely raises more questions than it answers.
