This started out kind of slow, took till about 30% in before for the story to progress. The first part just felt like a bunch of random occurrences of dropping bodies. I get the why but my point still stands. I think I would have preferred more sexual tension moments instead. But once we got there this was perfection. I also wish he would have used his words, Tobias spent so much time doing that he never told her how he felt. Several other characters broke it down for her but he never really did, and that was a little disappointing. Focus was crazy to the point of being hilarious and yes Mahogany ain’t no Monica but she was still pretty awesome. I always appreciate and sympathize with a workaholic. The subplot was really good, even if it got overshadowed quite a bit by the romance, in the end, again it was perfection. Especially because my girl made an appearance doing what she does best. Monica is the type of character that will have you stalking and author hoping for bonus scenes and cameos. I need to read at least one more book to be sure but Aubry is on her way to my “go to, slump buster, clutch,” author list because she writes great characters that you want to get to know. I would read a story about everyone mentioned in this story.
