3.0
I really liked the premise of this one it’s the story of Lily and Jake. Lily is a girl that has known pain and darkness and Jake is the head of a criminal organisation and of gypsy heritage. When Lily using the stage name Jewel auditions to work at a high-class stripper club the attraction between her and Jake is instantaneous and it’s not long before the two are engaged in an intense relationship.
This introduces the story building a mysterious secretive vibe. It’s obvious from the beginning that Lily has secrets one that directly involve Jake. Jake from the instant he lays eyes on Lily is all in previously a man whore he knows straight away that Lily is different from all the others and sets out to claim her as his own.
So I mostly enjoyed this but I did think the relationship aspect of the story was slightly rushed it went from one to a hundred in record speed. One minute Lily’s telling Jake she doesn’t do one night stands and in the next breathe she’s mentioning love. I just found the transition phase from single to taken a bit swift to be believable especially considering who Jake is and just what’s he got to lose.
But overall yeh this was an easy read that intrigued me and the finish as well was gripping. I’ll be continuing on to see where this goes next.
