I actually read the blurb for this one and was still not prepared!
This is the first organized crime book by ML Bash that I have read, and she did NOT disappoint.
Knight Barron is turning 25 which means he will enter an arranged marriage which is tradition. Now as a reader this is obviously not my first rodeo when it comes to the arranged marriage troupe, however I was really pleased to see the rules/guidelines/vetting that is put into matching the couple.
Knight's parents went above and beyond to make sure his wife was everything he needed. A partner to be both his peace and motivation.
I adored Novalee. She is hella badass. I can't tell ya'll how many times her reaching for, checking, or pulling out her gun was mentioned. Her gun was her favorite accessory. She did not come to play. Right from the jump I was a fan of her and Knight together. Which is why I stopped and re-read the damn blurb because why would Knight be entertained another woman as indicated in the blurb??
After re-reading the blurb and peeking at other reviews I saw that this is an FFM!!!! WHATTTTTTTTT I was NOT ready for that.
Casmi is married to a POS man who abuses her and crossing the line by disrespecting the Barron Family. She finds herself acquired by the Barron Boys during some family bonding and finds herself with limited choices.
Knight and Nova are her saviors. I thought that I wasn't going to like Casmi being with them because I didn't want to see a broken woman with Stockholm feeling as if she owed them. But ML addressed every single concern I could possibly have. She made sure that Casmi did not have a victim mentality and made it clear that she was not indebted in any way. Her feelings were genuine and far from obligation. Casmi's strength was incredibly admirable in this story.
I loved that while Nova was confident and hella bad ass, her ability to be soft and vulnerable was explored.
Last but not least I appreciated the introspective look on society's views on polyamory and the dynamics of it are discussed beyond the physical relationship.
Overall, this was a fantastic read, I look forward to reading the stories of the other brothers. Knight was top tier, I had no complaints. There is a lot of action and family business. The spice is sprinkled within and it's HOT but this isn't a spicy heavy book. Chapter 20 however deserves a freaking award.
