Glenn Howard was one of seven brothers until the day the call came telling him he wasn’t. When the focus is on him for the next potential target, he reaches out to a lover he’d never forgotten. Tate Eder, a proud member of Boston SWAT realizes this second chance may be his last to make Glenn understand they were meant to be, and he’s not about to turn that down.
The plot has definite potential, but there were just too many issues to give it a higher rating. For one, it was way too short for the complicated plot. The ending was so abrupt, I kept looking at my Kindle wondering where the extra pages are!? The editing was terrible, and it needs some major work. I rated it 2 stars because of the potential I see with the plotline and interesting characters. I hope the next book is better, and longer.
To my ratings: A 3,5* is clicked with a 4* but in review marked as 3,5*:
5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-Away-book like ‘Jesse's Smile’ or ‘Joey’ from Angelique Jurd, ‘Save the the kids’ series from EM Leya, ‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or ‘Liberty’ from Seth King), it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often reread and is a WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises (like most of Andrew Grey books and Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series) it's like an A
3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few times (most romances where you can enjoy for relaxing and during waiting times in hospitals). I can recommend them definitively! It's like an B+
3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader (2-3 times a year), it's like a B
2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-reader (I wouldn't recommend it heartily, but it was ok) It's like a C-, D
1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an absolute NO-GO). It's like failure in the whole line, dismissed, repeat the class
I am a heterosexual woman and found this first book both fascinated and gave me an insight behind the curtain. The characters immediately invoked sympathy and understanding, filling me with apprehension over the impending violence. These latter feelings I found could sway me away from following the rest of the series, but I am open to trying other work from Hayden. It must also be said that the proofreading is bad, throwing the concentration and rhythm. In that respect, I am a non-apologetic perfectionist.
Story had a good premise and started out really well but didn’t develop and had the worst ending! The author threw in things without explanation and the end left you hanging. I suppose they got the bad guys but don’t really know because it doesn’t say. The main characters don’t fully develop and forget about the supporting characters. Don’t know if I will try the second book or not.
I’m being generous with a 2 star rating. There are multiple formatting, editing, and inconsistency errors throughout this story. The only reason I’m being generous is because the plot is a decent one and I think the author could truly make something of this story with a little direction.
