challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

2.25

This one was the least of my favorites, which is a pity because I was looking forward to it mainly because of the tension that was between these 2 in the other books๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I thought the tension would be at a 1000 in their book, the pinning, the longing Kanti... maybe if it was like dual Pov instead of 3rd person in some parts, the longing was gonna slap ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ , like give bodi internal monologue typa ish wabo.

Dutch, I will say, reminded a lot of Boston from Only friends๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚ so it's only natural I tried understanding why he did some of the things he did to his team member in their books mara hai I couldn't๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚

Dutch took way too much time dealing with the backers and marx. I find it hard to believe that he couldn't come up with to get him out of the predicament He was in for 3 years. The way the other books made him seem ruthless ,a man who has his fingers in all the cookie jars, etc. and you are telling me that he is being blackmailed ka Something so small in the grand scheme of things." 

Like the fact that he's the CEO technically of this team that he's heading, that tells you already that he is not opposed to dropping a few bodies, And Patel being on that same team I'd also paint him with the same brush, So it wouldn't have been that big of a shock to Patel had Dutch told him the truth after the team was setup๐Ÿ™„โ€ผ๏ธ


Also, his "Escorting" days aren't that big of a deal, honestly.The build up from the beginning of the book till, like 40% in made It seem like it's something huge. Kanti dude was a killer and whore๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ and he didn't want his family and lover to know.

My thing is, why didn't he tell Patel?After the organization had been formed because everybody in the organization knows huri they are killers themselves and whores for the mission sometimes. I mean Van in Book 1 was spread out on top of a Porcshe with coke on his... just to secure info๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญโœ‹๐Ÿพโ€ผ๏ธ
