I went back and forth between the Kindle version of this book and the audio version of this book on Audible and I'm not sure which one I prefer, honestly.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

This book follows our FMC, Cate, as she works as a nurse in Gage Memorial Hospital, which is owned by the Gage family of New Orleans. She has heard all of the rumors surrounding the Gage family and knows to stay away from them.

This all changes when she finds that her brother, Channing, is tied up with the Gage family. She makes a bargain with Lachlan to give him her nights in exchange for keeping her brother safe without realizing the implications it would have on her life, moving forward.

OMG, Cate drove me nuts! I wanted to hit her over the head for most of this book, to be completely honest. I was so excited to finally be done with the book just so I wouldn't have to listen to Cate's insufferable back and forth.

She's the whole reason I lowered my rating from last year from 5 stars to 3 stars. I normally am not petty like this but I just can't look past her pithy banter with everyone long enough to have a more objective look at this book for a better rating.

That's not to say I won't be reading the sequel because I'll be reading that one as well after I tone down my currently reading a tab a bit more. I had started reading this one again just so I can remember what happened before moving on to the sequel.

I think the only saving grace for this book is Lachlan and his family. I feel the Gage family got a bad rep for all the wrong reasons, though I can understand how and where the rumors started. I'll always believe that rumors like that have some basis of truth in them and this isn't an exception.

I was also glad to see that this series has ties to Geneva's "Filthy Rich Vampires" series, though I wasn't surprised in the least. I don't think I caught the mention the first time I read this book but I'm glad I was paying enough attention during this read-through to catch it.

I would say you should read this book just because I'm hoping this series will be as good as I believe her "Filthy Rich Vampire" series is. I'm biased for that very reason. lol I hope the sequel is just as captivating, though I'm not holding my breath. We'll see.
