So I went about this all wrong. I haven’t read the first book, but I dove into Melissa and Danny’s story. And you know what? I wasn’t lost at all. Instead, I’m going to go back for the first book simply because I think it’s got to be as good as this one was. Danny, Lis, the tangled web of deceit and familial bonds among the UK and US underworlds, and a love that neither of them expected grabbed me from the very first chapter. I adored Lis and her absolute confidence in herself and had to laugh at each new secret that Danny discovered about her. She was no wallflower or weak little thing. Oh, no. She’s a bonafide badass and is the absolute perfect match for Danny. Their story was low on angst and high on proof of what love can bring to the table.

This author had me enthralled with this book and I’m incredibly interested in seeing how Holly and Romero fare once their story comes out. Until then, I’ve at least got book one of this series to entertain me for a short while, since I’d bet I won’t want to put that one down either.
