This book was received from the publisher
in exchange for an honest review.
Since I am such a big fan of Jay’s Marked Men series, I knew
I had to start her new series. And I am so glad that I did!
I certainly did not expect Dovie as she was. I thought she
was going to be timid and shy but I couldn’t have been more wrong. She was feisty
and tough and badass in her own way. I loved the way that she was so determined
to help Bax in their journey, no matter how dangerous it could be. She was
accepting and the absolute perfect match for Bax.
Shane “Bax” was the baddest bad boy I’ve ever read about. He
is a criminal and a thief and he’s entirely unapologetic about that. But he is
also sweet, adorable, and so cute. I loved both sides of him. He was also
protective and would do anything to make sure Dovie was safe. In essence, he
was the ultimate alpha male.
The plot was exciting. I’ve never read about a hardened
criminal such as Bax and I thought the whole criminal network thing was really
cool. The same writing magic I fell in love with in Jay’s Marked Men series
continued to this book and I was hooked. Dovie and Bax had explosive chemistry
combined with some really sweet scenes.
I can’t wait until Race’s book, Dovie’s brother. He seems
shady to me but I’m sure he’s going to be equally amazing.
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: This time when he kissed me, it was for real. His lips moved across mine with force, but not in a way that was punishing. When he demanded entrance this time, I let him have it, and even went as fast as to wrap my arms around the strong cords of his neck. His tongue danced with mine, his teeth scraped with the intent to arouse not to punish...
