Crusader's Fight Inc #1

by Ciena Foxx

Secrets: Something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others. To the public, forty-two-year-old Caleb Breyer is a billionaire, known for his successful investments and donations to charity — the press adores him. The façade he shows the world, is just that, a façade. Caleb has secrets. He lives deep in the woods with his team. They are modern-day knights who rescue the abused, kidnapped, and missing before fading into the night after completing a mission. Twenty-four-year-old Andy Winter has been reduced to hiding in hopes of getting rid of Leonard, a bully who thinks that a half date means he owns him. His one bright spot has been meeting Caleb and getting to know him at pre-wedding parties of a dear friend. When the wedding arrives, Andy’s ready, despite their age gap, to deepen his relationship with Caleb. Until his plans are destroyed by the arrival of Leonard. Secrets are about to be revealed. They are important but Caleb discovers not as important as love, loss, and Andy. ~ Warning: Gay erotic romance. The material in this book contains explicit sexual content that is intended for mature audiences only.

1 star… DNF 50%
Ugh. I really wanted to like this. I liked the idea of this series and I was hoping for a strong start from what seems like the leader of the group and Andy seems cute but this just wasn’t for me. Personally the writing felt off? Usually with this kind of story you would just do duel POV but instead it was third person omnipotent which was fine but made it a bit confusing at times. This isn’t always how third person is but I often was getting confused who the book was talking about.

This book is also very short and yet I found myself dragging through this, skimming, and just avoiding it all together which I’d usually fly through a book this small in just a few hours. Lastly I just found this so odd… it felt insta lovey with how fast they were moving. We didn’t see Caleb begin liking him. We didn’t see them even flirt. All we saw was Caleb being a “hero” and then they start having sex and dating? Huh?! Which would be fine if I didn’t think that would be fine I guess it it seemed like at some point they would actually get to know each other but I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think this book is more about Caleb being a “bad ass” than romance. Not for me.

1/5 on spice. 1/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears. Disappointing

Short but with a punch

This story is shorter with not quite instalove. Caleb and Andy have been tiptoeing around each other while attending pre wedding activities of their close friends. Andy has a stalker that will stop at nothing to get to him. Fortunately for him Caleb may know a thing or two to help him. A steamy shorter story with lots of steamy times a bit of action and HEA for Caleb and Andy. What happens at Fight Inc stays at Fight inc. Great start to the series.

I liked the book well enough but I wasn't happy with the death of a secondary character. I think the story would have been better if they had kept this character alive.

No tiene sentido, la estructura es muy caótica y el inicio suprime cosas importantes.

Malo

The author likes to tortured me by making one of the character lost his loved one that thing totally devastating and what a stupid and reckless decision by Austin lead him to his downfall and once again the author let the abused to happened and Caleb was late to undo the damage. I just hate when the MC going through traumatic and horrible things, just let them to be happy without adding bad shit to their life or is it too much to ask?
