This was such a fun read! I loved that we got to meet some new faces that I’m sure will pop up in other Necessary Evils books. I also really liked that we got to see the Mulvaney’s from an outside perspective. Okay, so Dimitri is the absolute sweetest! He may be a psychopath, but he loves Arlo with every fiber of his being. And Arlo is just adorable. I love that he goes from this timid shy person in the beginning to sassing very dangerous people (Asa & August) with little thought. This was so good and I can’t wait to dive into the next book! This is getting four out of five stars.

I love this side story about Arlo and Dimitri.

It’s a quick short story that made me laugh. Although I will say for second I thought one of the two was gonna go to jail.

I can’t wait to see these two in the next book.

3/5 on the spice scale. Because it was a shorter book, the few sex scenes take up more of the book. And both men have dirty mouths.
