What good read

This is my first read by this author and I must say this was a really good book. I loved how Nassir came to her aid and stood by her even though she had set him up. They both got their happily ever after bc Nassir followed his heart and not his mind

This was a short, steamy and funny read that had me hooked from beginning to end. Nassir and Aria's love story was all peaches and cream. It actually started with a robbery and a chase but it lead to the sweetest romance story. Don't worry there was no shortage of drama but I also enjoyed a few laughs along the way. I enjoyed this story a lot and look forward to reading more books from this author.

Nassir

Liked the storyline. It was a little slow for me. I wanted her to learn the truth faster so I was getting a little antsy. Nassir was willing to forget the truth and past to have his chance at love.

Nassir and Aria

This story was said but wonderful at the same time. They went from her doing something bad to him to him saving her life and loving her unconditionally. I am glad they was able to have a happy ending.

Hood loving

This was a good short read. I'm a sucker for tragic love stories. This one was not to tragic but enough to make me fall for Nassir. Usually I get f-boy that are name Nassir but luckily this one was a bad good boy
Good read though...

Great book

The book started off with unexpected events occurring and I loved how it blossomed into a beautiful love story. I was a little worried for a moment but the Knights made it through the storm.
