 5 STARS

This was a good story from start to finish with really good main characters that were complex and were deeply developed.  I really liked both Dash and Raina and wanted to see a good outcome for both of them.  

Dash's sister is brilliant, and she has so many secrets and that's part of what gets her into trouble.  One thing that I understand is that on one hand Dash believes his sister is innocent but there is a doubt that does creep up.  It's the fact that he knows how much she loves expensive things and she lives that kind of lifestyle of the best of everything.  While she can afford it, what if it wasn't enough?  Could she have been pulled to the dark side.  My rub with that was that it felt to me like it was mentioned a bit too much.

There were plenty of other likely candidates for the crime that Layla is in jail for.  It keeps Dash, Raina and the federal team chasing their tail for a while.  Keeping things really active.  Another problem in the middle of the danger is another one.  It had a name, Talia who was Dash's very dangerous ex-girlfriend. The stuff that she got away with was plenty because not only was she obsessed with Dash she was also clever.  Dash had a good way of putting it.  That she was like teflon when it came to trying to make a accusation of her crime stick.

 Things keep speeding along until there is a good wrap up of the story.  Add in a well deserved H.E.A. ending.

I  read this book through the HOOPLA App
