Empire of Lust by J.L. Beck

4.0

This is the first book in the *Torrio Empire* series. This trilogy needs to be read in order. 

Bianca has had a crush on her best friend's dad Callum for years. When Bianca finds out her boyfriend cheated on her, her friend Tatum says that she can stay at her house but in a different wing from Callum. Tatum tells Bianca things will be fine. What Bianca doesn't know is that things will not in fact be fine. Not when Callum is involved. 

Callum calls Bianca- Little Bird

I felt so bad that Bianca found out Lucus was cheating the way she did. It's cute how Bianca thinks Callum will never find out what happened in the kitchen that night. It's funny how Tatum forgot to tell Callum that Bianca was moving in until right when she was about to leave. I was not expecting what happened in Callum's office to happen. I'm sorry but you can't run for the inevitable. I love how Bianca just wants to help Tatum and Tatum just wants to help Bianca. I didn't expect one twist at the very end but I did expect the other. 

This was an okay read. The spice was hot. There were so many twists and turns that I felt like I couldn't keep up. I'll be checking out the next book though because I'm curious.
