I struggled when it came to starting this book. The original Sinners and Saints series was a completed series when I discovered it. So, I had the pleasure of devouring the non-stop action and spice in days. The cliff hangers were shocking, but the answers were simply a click away on my kindle. Starting an unfinished series is a personal kind of torture but I somehow convinced myself after reading the blurb 101 times that this will work. That this book is the story of only ONE of the many children of the Merchants. This was reinforced to the cover of the next book featuring a daughter, so I pulled the trigger, and it was the worst amazing choice I've ever made in reading. 

This book was phenomenal. I think I may love the savage heirs 100X more than their parents. I love their banter, their sense of loyalty, family, how despite being crime lords they still bicker and are playful like a group of school aged kids. 

Kenzie is both vulnerable and strong. She is trusting, caring, affectionate, and protective of her loved ones. She isn't the bad ass female lead in the sense that she's kicking ass and taking names. She is very outspoken, doesn't back down, and is a fighter. I just need her to learn her worth. 

Sunny is so much fun, carefree, observant, passionate, and speaks without filter. 

Now, the big question, is this a RH?? I don't know!!! There is sexual tension like you would not believe. Kenzie has a life Pre-Sunny and she has been vibing with River. Post Sunny, she starts vibing with Liam..... and Bane. 

But in her defense, the entire family just seems to ooze sex. Even sister Genny flirts and kisses. There is limited spice in this book. But what you do get is HOT. 

The organized crime aspect is very interesting. This is set 40 years AFTER the Saint and Sinner's series. The kids are running Cinco City differently while handling generational grudges. 

This book consumed me and the cliff hanger had me screaming. I highly recommend but with caution.
