Much better than the first book to me. The beginning of the book was very intriguing because I liked the troupe of body guard falling for his client. After the book settled in though it became slow paced for a little bit in the middle of the book but eventually picked back up. I liked the conflict of the romance, but the resolution was predictable. 

I wouldn't read this book if you are looking for good plot twists, while it has some they don't last very long for you to infer what might happen. Overall I liked that characters and their relationship and I didn't like slow pace in the beginning/middle parts.

 I am always a sucker for forbidden romance, and Rhys and Bridget's love story serves as the blueprint for this twisted series I'm reading. Rhys has become my ideal man, and now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to simp for a strong and powerful woman who could easily take me down. Also, I can't wait to read the retelling of Scar from The Lion King with a hot and intriguing twist

Rhy's brother's relationship with Anders and Rhy drinking for the first time when Bridget broke up with him. Also, Bridget blaming herself for her grandfather's heart attack and her parents' death is also sad.
