ARC received for an honest review

It has been a couple of years since I have delved into KA's world - work, life, study, so many books, all have gotten into the way,

However the chance to dive in at the start of a new series was an opportunity I couldn't give up.

Now, I know that Ms Ashley's writing is not for everyone. I like it (even if sometimes it is overly verbous and descriptive, and could be chopped down a little bit).

I did find the first of the story did drag, and I didn't really like anyone other than our main man Judge. It took me till after 50% to warm up to Chloe. Not sure what it was about her, but nope, wasn't a fan. I think it was that she was just a doormat to all her family and didn't stand up for herself, at the same time as flip flopping when it came to Judge.

However, after about 55%, she grew a backbone and that's when the story really started for me.

The second half of the book was much, much better for me. There were so many little stories along the way that finally came together for us.

And I am glad I finally got to like most of the other characters - though some I am still meh about,

I liked the set up for the next book, so I will be onto that when it comes out.
