Before becoming an author, A.J. worked as a Correctional Officer in a jail where she met her husband.

Unrequited love and crime families. Raina is a crime family princess as her father is the boss of The Grey Shadows. Oliver is her stepbrother and hes also her guardian angel whenever she needs it. These two are just so sweet in this book and i really liked that dynamic between the both of them. This was a shorter read shorter read but it was still action packed with great characters too. Just a great read
This book was pretty good, but a little too short. I would’ve liked more information on both characters. I would’ve like to see their relationship grow more. I would have liked or information on the stalker and even a little bit more details in the ending.
Loved that it was insta-love/already-secretly-in-love, HEA, and sweet.
A wonderful story, although it's not RH, it was still a great story with an entertaining storyline. A.J. Macey has again intrigued me with an interesting book. Definitely want to read the next book.
