Two alpha A-type personalities should never be in a relationship. Good thing because Bruno and Nevaeh want nothing to do with each other... Until a friend’s wedding changes everything.
No biggie. Sex between consenting adults with no expectations of anything deeper is perfectly fine. As long as it never happens again.
But it does happen again.
And again.
And again.
No post-coitus cuddles and no strings attached. It’s the perfect arrangement for two people who have no intention of falling in love.
When one of them catches feelings and breaks the rules, the strings attaching them are suddenly steel cables.
There’s a thin line between love, hate, and obsession. And no line when you’re a victim to all three. It’ll never work. So, one of them has got to go. Who will it be? The mob enforcer with everything to lose? Or the chick with no filter who’s lost everything and has nothing left except vengeance.
4 STARS
I will say that this is definitely an adult story. Just so you know that going in.
Both Bruno and Nevaeh make really good main characters. Nevaeh may have started out a loving, woman who was unloved, pretty much forgotten by family, and used by men but she's coming out of that shell. NO one is going to use her ever again, she's over that and has moved on to the the one to enforce HER rules.
Bruno didn't give too hoots for any woman, certainly not enough to change HIS rules. He also had his heart broken by a woman he trusted. So he was done with that. He had his group of men that he trusted with his life and would give his life to trust them. They all worked together to keep things together for their line of work. Problem was so many of the men had fallen in love with strong women and they were happy, and building a life.
Something that really got to me was Bethany's part in the story. She's a woman that Nineveh had found temp work with. Nineveh was unexpectedly drawn to help her.
Plenty of danger, enemies with some of them hiding in plain sight. You just know things are NOT going to work out well for those enemies.
Towards the end of the story one of those enemies punishment did make me cringe.
There is a good Epilogue and some good news for our couple. There is also a question that needs to be answered about another girl's parentage. Which sounds like a lead in to another book. Which does sound like a good idea.
I just have to add how interesting the book covers are for this series and this cover doesn't disappoint either. I REALLY like them.
