Our FMC Malory, is awoken in the night by dare I say a polite intruder wearing a balaclava. He drugs and kidnaps her, though reading the story one can’t help thinking this is more of a blessing than detriment.

Our MMC Tyson, a hitman has stalked her for two years, on some vengeance trip against her father. However, he didn’t expect to learn he had feelings towards her. Their relationship builds slowly, into something of beauty. Regardless, he has kept secrets and their past catches up with them in an explosive way. No spoilers.

This is a slow burn to start until about ¾ of the way through, there are elements of mafia influence despite this and Tyson’s profession, for me it wasn’t that dark though in all honesty I read some pretty dark and pitch black books. Also, parts were again for me, predictable. I’d say this was a good read for those wanting to take baby steps. I did enjoy reading the story and I adored Nero 🥰
