Description
She’s a good girl. He’s a very bad boy. Sparks will fly when fate brings them together in this fiery romance by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.A. Casey.
Ashley Dunne is a bad boy, a notorious member of Dublin’s most ruthless gang. But when privileged daddy’s girl Ryan Mahony finds herself living on an urban estate they control, she can’t help feeling he’s not that bad at all…
Ryan and Ash were never meant to cross paths: she’s always been sheltered by her successful barrister father. But when he’s unexpectedly sent to prison, she’s forced to move in with estranged relatives in the city, where a chance encounter with Ash sends sparks flying. He’s the one man she’s been warned to avoid, but fate seems determined to bring them together…
While her head warns of danger, her heart tells her to be reckless for the first time in her life. She knows there’s more to Ash than his gangland reputation. But when he starts to rethink his future and attracts the wrong kind of attention, Ryan has to ask herself: is her life going off the rails—or has she finally found the right track? AMAZON 3 Stars
This book had kind of a rough start. It did do a good job though of showing how different Ryan's life was from her norm. It got totally upended. Her cousin Eddi, was really hard to like and gave Ryan a totally undeserved hard time in the beginning. And Ryan had almost zero street smarts going for her because she had been so sheltered. Her aunt though might be poor but she was kind and nurturing.
The nickname that Ash gave Ryan made me grin. "Nightmare" was funny but also based on some klutzy moments from Ryan.
Two people played a big part in Ash's life. His best friend Anto and his younger brother, Sean.
Anto was a really loyal friend and a hoot as well. He added quite a bit of humor to the story.
There were some really unexpected twists towards the end of the story. I really enjoyed not only that but also the meanings of why this book title has it's meaning.
There was a good ending and good Epilogue that pulled all the threads together.
In my mind, the characters drove the story. While it took a bit of time to get into it, I did get invested in how in the world would they ever catch a break.
It felt like the solving of the main problem came about kind of rushed. Although I was glad things got settled, it left me feeling like it was kind of dissatisfying. However, a H.E.A. is a H.E.A. and it did happen for more than one person.
