About the author
Shandi Boyes
98 books2,203 followersShandi Boyes is a USA Today Bestselling Author who was an avid reader for many years before she discovered the love of writing in February 2016. Her first penned novel 'Perception of Life’ is a new adult rockstar romance that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
In September 2016, her focus shifted to hot alpha men in steamy contemporary reads that sizzle off the pages. Shandi’s novel ‘Enigma of Life’ is an award-winning story on an FBI agent and the subject she was assigned to investigate. Her men are swoon-worthy, devoted, and alpha; and her heroines are strong-willed, determined, and loveable. You should start her stories first thing in the morning, or you may not sleep.
You will laugh and you will cry, but Shandi's characters will stay with you for a lifetime!

Great series, but…
This is more of a review of the whole Enigma/Collectibles series than just this piece of it. I adored the complex plot and the ability to see events from several different characters’ perspectives over time. The characters are for the most part multidimensional, though there are a few that are kind of caricatures (Vincent and Madden McGee in particular). This is a pretty good mix of thriller and spice, though this last installment is lighter on the spice than I’d like. I would have loved to give all the books in the series five stars, but I can’t because…
The editing is absolutely horrendous. So many word usage and grammatical errors that it constantly took me out of the story with a groan and an eye roll. I managed to get over all the Aussieisms being used by characters who were 100% American, but an author and editor who don’t know “he’s” from “his” or “debunked” from “defunct” just don’t deserve five stars in my book. I am considering whether or not to read any more from this author because as much as I enjoy the stories, the abysmal editing and frequent mistakes may not be worth it for me.

Okay to start of I want to say I have never felt so incredibly sad yet relived to have finished a series. I mean TWENTY Books! That being said I and sad to have this world I have spent so much time reading about come to an end. Now on to the book.
Brandon is a character I really had issues with at the start of this whole journey. I constantly didn’t know if we could trust him or not. I mean it was like every book he would either come out looking good or bad. Now having read his book and been able to kind of pick at his brain I realize that part of the reason I didn’t like him was he just reminded me to much of me. He was taught to protect Melody from a very young age and once he “failed” at that fast he just didn’t know what to do with himself anymore. I think I was also great seeing him have a breakdown, even though i would never wish it upon anyone it was great representation.
Now Melody my sweet baby angel, I will hurt anyone who even thinks of plucking a hair from your head. (Although I think other people have that already covered). Every time I think about she kept her pain down for so long just to not hurt Brandon or his mother after the loss of Joey I want to bawl my eyes out, not only that but the fact that she blamed herself for his death. Even after suffering the loss of both of her parents. While I am happy that she was able to impart move on with Julien for a while in new york, I still don’t entirely like that she was kind of pushed into getting the implants. I think they were obviously useful and important to the plot but I would have loved to she her stay true to herself and her dad.
Over I really enjoyed the book it was definitely a little slower paced then the other ones romance wise, but definitely still a great read. As always the reasoning as to why I can give this book five stars is because I read the whole book waiting to see Isabelle’s and Issac’s reaction to finding out Brandon is the father to Bobby to not have them. I also would have loved to see him apologize to Isabelle as well as Isabelle to him. I truly think they should have made up in the end. Overall I recommend this book and series.
