Not very convincing and the plot needed a lot more oomph, but I liked the Robin Hood vibes and the smut was decent.

"Flock" follows Cecelia, an 18-year-old who has moved to Triple Falls by request of her father. Cecelia and her father have never been close, nor had any real relationship, but he wants Cecelia to come live and work for him for a year before she can have her inheritance. Cecelia's father is a ruthless business owner who has factories all over the world. He has proven himself successful in business, but he is unliked by everyone who meets him. Cecelia wants nothing to do with the father who abandoned her, but she wants his money to help her mother, so she agrees to put off her college ambitions for one year to come live and work in Triple Falls. On her first day of work, she meets Sean, an intoxicating man who might just make this year worthwhile. But Cecelia soon has to face her father's questionable business tactics and has to decide if love is worth everything.
This is a very drama filled romance. Cecelia is often immature and kind of cringeworthy to read from, but I still was rooting for her and Sean to make it work. I LOVE Sean as a character and love his entire outlook on life. He is exactly the positive person everyone needs in their life. I often felt like Sean could do better than Cecelia because she reads so young and whiney, but she is only 18, and I am hoping that in the rest of the trilogy, with Sean's influence, Cecelia can grow up. I am also hoping to see Cecelia give her father a chance. I understand and sympathize that she is angry and harbors resentment towards her father, but she flat out will not even try to hear him out and accept his apology. I am hoping she does not complete burn their bridge.
I am excited and dying to pick up "Exodus"!
