I would have never guessed this is the author's debut novel. If she did this good with book one, I could only imagine what book two will be like. Read the trigger warnings; it’s a dark romance, and there are several. Also dirty and deliciously dark. On my dark scale, it’s medium gray.
What do you do in the mafia world when an enemy kills your loved one? You get revenge when they least expect it. Enters Wren. Lex kidnaps Wren to seek revenge on his enemy. Let's just say the kidnapping didn't go as expected. Wren is bat shit crazy, and the girl can fight and is an excellent marksman. I laughed so hard at Lex’s reaction I was crying. Everyone has underestimated this little killer; she is fierce and not scared of anything. She is my hero.
There is a ton of push/pull between the two. Both are drawn to each other like a moth to the flame and are pissed off about it. I usually say I am waiting for them to kill each other or rip their clothes off. But these two try and kill each other while ripping their clothes off. Lex and Wren are perfect for each other. Both are borderline on unhealthy behavior and relationship.
That cliffhanger is a doozy, I was literally sitting on the edge, and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us. My only constructive criticism is they were a
small amount of repetition. Kudos to Ria Wilde; I am impressed.

This was almost a DNF for me. The amount of typos, grammatical errors, punctuation issues, misused words... it grated on me and really impacted the experience of the book. In the first page alone, the author uses an apostrophe to pluralize names three separate times!! Unreal. It is very evident that this author didn't use an editor - or if she did, she should be getting her money back. I would have rated it much higher.
But I kept reading, thinking that if the story was worth it, I could look past the errors. No. I had the "ending" guessed very early on, so from then on out, it was just waiting for the book to finish. And I put ending in quotation marks because there wasn't one. This is my bad - I didn't realize the book was a duet when I started reading it. If I had known the book would end halfway through the plot, I wouldn't have bothered finishing it.

This is a duet that I'm guessing just should have been one book. The story really didn't go anywhere and then tried to end on a cliffhanger. The problem is that nothing is compelling enough for me to care about the second book. The narration is fantastic if you do the audio version. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivera are masters and the only reason I actually completed this book.
