I may have been a bit generous with the rating idk. I feel like if these books were longer and more of a slow burn instead of declaring love after a week, they would be a lot more enjoyable

I adored Sergei and Angelina!!! Angelina is the recently orphaned daughter of a cartel boss attempting to escape her father's killer. Sergei is an ex black ops hitman who is struggling with PTSD and trauma. After he rescues her as she's transported from Mexico and they bond eventually. I adored their banter and chemistry. The plot was amazing and the whole conclusion was great! My only issue is that they never talked seriously really. Pretty much everything she learned about him was second hand and the whole climax could have been avoided with a chat.
