Caution to the Wind by Giana Darling
4.0
I read the series so out of order LMAO but I'm working my way through the books I haven't read yet.
So we start out with Mei, Axe Man, and Cleo. Years ago Axe Man married Cleo's mom to save her from a terrible past. They never had a sexual relationship but he loved her dearly. In comes Mei, she and Cleo become friends quickly and since her parents are always gone on business she becomes a part of Cleo's family. One night they are at I believe a carnival when Cleo's mom is murdered in front of Mei.
The large majority of the book is about Mei and Axe Man avenging her death. At 17 Mei realizes she has romantic feelings for Axe Man, which at the time he doesn't reciprocate. Mei gets in with the group that killed Cleo's mom and when things come to a head Axe Man gets sent to prison covering for Mei. Mei is forced by her father to leave town, her mother passes away and she doesn't return for 8 years.
Mei gets a call that Cleo was brutally attacked by a serial killer and comes back immediately. Axe man though carries a lot of hate for her, as he believes she abandoned him and Cleo 8 years ago. He doesn't know the two of them stayed in contact. They have a HEAVY hate relationship for a large portion of the book where I felt like he honestly treated her like complete shit. Keep in mind she was still only 26. The girls in the MC and honestly most of the guys were really cold toward Mei because of Axe Man's feelings and while I respect the loyalty, no one, including Axe Man even asked if it was her choice to leave.
Then he finds out about her dad and is still on the fence about things which bothered me. She had to face imminent danger for him to be like omg be my old lady I love you. It pissed me off and honestly, the only one who treated Mei like she deserved was Cleo the whole time. I think she deserved a lot more and deserved big love. Still liked seeing all of the characters but Axe Man acted like a literal man-child.
