What I liked:
  • Ravenna’s character was so fascinating and I really fell in love with her story. 
  • Alessandro’s protectiveness of her, like taking things off of her plate and off of her mind. Protecting her by thinking of things before they even came up. 
  • Kai’s story, this was soooo intriguing to me. I really got attached to him as a character and by the time the epilogue came around, I was desperate for his book. 
What I didn’t like:
  • Alessandro’s deep denial of his feelings, I could understand with the revenge and his plans that he would resist falling for her. But pulling away and being cruel after awhile felt extremely silly. I expected some push and pull but it really got old.
  • No one thinking to question Ravenna’s situation. This fact is pretty central to the story so it came up a lot so it started to bother me. Her brother and others close to the situation not knowing anything was wrong at all was seemed so insane to me after a while. Because her husband didn’t even seem well liked so why was everyone giving him the benefit of the doubt, let alone that he was enamored with his wife?

4.75 stars rounded up to 5 stars. Bodyguard romances never fail, it's one of my most favorite tropes. Neva Altaj never misses. This one was so good. Raveena was so strong despite everything she's been through and I loved Alessandro so much. The tropes in the book was done so well.  I can't wait for the next one!
