Grant has always been Sebastian's go-to man and made the business a priority. When a tragedy strikes, Grant and Rio become more than just friends. And the sparks between them are not the only combustible item. Will Grant get a new perspective on the way Sebastian affects everything that surrounds him? Will their friendship and working relationship survive both men when they both have other priorities? Fast paced and leaving you on the edge of your seat, Angel Payne once again engulfs her readers in a web of secrecy, deception and romance that proves she can create one masterpiece after the other. I cannot wait for more in this series!!

Grant and Rio's story starts off bringing all the heat!

This trilogy begins with Rio happily married and Grant harboring a secret crush. From there everything starts to unravel and I was so surprised at all that came about. I really enjoyed the start of Grant's books and am looking forward to seeing what happens between these two!

 I like this series. I especially amaze with Miss Payne and Miss Blue for their story telling. They inject twist here and there when I least expected. 
There are a lot of drama. Especially regarding Rio. Grant is loyal and vulnerable inside when it comes to Rio. 

I love the chemistry between them. Some part is too dramatic. Some part is suspenseful that I keep hanging on the edge of my seat. 

Overall I want more.

I have really enjoyed the Shark's Rise Series the first three books I blew through but this one was a bit of a struggle for me. Let me say that I really like both Grant and Rio, I have since I first met them in the other books. Grant is the fixer he always fixes problems, he is Sebastian's right hand man they have grown up together and always had each others back. Rio is the saucy little spitfire and co-owner of Abstract Catering with her SIL Abbi and they have always had their ups and downs because they view things in a different light. The story was well written and page turning. It also provided you a better look at characters from a new light such as Abbi and Sebastian. It provided us better insight to Grant and Rio. The issue for me was that the attraction that Grant and Rio shared and her being married now I know that it happens and it could be I'm wired wrong for it. I know that Grant did not touch her or anything but for me it just bugged me that he was dying to do just that. Rio is happily married to Sean and unfortunately events that occur beyond anyone's control hinder Rio's mental health and that is one of her struggles that she has endured her entire life and nobody knows exactly what she has to deal with on a daily basis but herself. Overall I liked it but could not bring myself to love it. Others I am sure will love it and I know not every book is for everyone. It is still defiantly worth the read I give it 3.5 stars. It is well written, plenty of steam, page turning.

Sebastien Shark has a world of problems at his feet. But this isn’t his story. This is the story of his best friend, Grant Twombley, and his sister-in-law, Rio Gibson.
Rio is in a bad place. She’s having fertility issues, money issues and her husband is working so much he is never home. Her best friend is hugely pregnant and her family lives on the other coast. The only friend she has to turn to is Grant.
Grant is a problem solver and wants to help fix Rio’s issues. But he has a problem of his own. He is falling for a married woman. 
Grant tries to help and gets Rio’s husband a better job with better benefits at Sebastien’s building site. However, it goes to hell in a hand basket when there’s an accident. Grant steps in to try and help Rio cope. He is the only one able; she won’t let anyone else near her. Grant’s fascination with Rio gets more intense the more he helps her.
Opinion
I loved Sebastien’s story but I think I’ll love Grant’s more. I was quite frustrated when seeing the crappy side of Sebastien in this story. He is out for himself and Abbi only. He doesn’t mind helping but when push comes to shove, he will pick himself and Abbi and forget the rest.
The ups and downs of this story had me laughing and crying. I was so mesmerized by their story that I couldn’t put it down, even when my eyes told me how tired I was. I definitely am in awe of what has transpired between Grant and Rio and cannot wait until I get my hands on the next story.
I’ve said it before but this is by far my favorite series published by Waterhouse. I hope that it continues with the third best friend after Grant’s story is done. Well done ladies!
A big thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.
