Dylan is a troubled young man. However, he has people who want him to succeed. Natalia is gun shy – for a good reason. She’s also got more life experience then some. If you’re a fan of the age-gap trope then you might want to check out but I never got any indication from the scenes that it was a big deal. But it was where the characters were concerned.
I liked where the author was taking her story but there were times when I thought things were moving a little slow. The reader was given a lot of information and some scenes seemed to go on which caused me to lose a little interest. Good thing was that she then would include something that caught my attention.
The author has a lot of secondary characters. Some stayed in the background. Others kept popping up. Some were part of his family. Others were a royal pain and seemed to bring the scenes down. It was those characters that had me wanting to jump ahead so that I could get back to the main characters. There were moments of frustration that at times was hard to get past.
What I didn’t like was all the back and forth with how people felt. It was like watching someone with a yoyo – minus the tricks. Right from the start, I was on Dylan’s side but it seemed as if most of the women were poor choices for one reason or another. My favorite chapter was the last. It made the rest of the story worth it. Even though this wasn’t my most favorite in the series, I would certainly read another book by the author.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
