Meghan March made me love the really, really, really bad guy. Even if his "bad" was in a way, kinda good. So this one started up not exactly right where the last one left off, which would normally be frustrating seeing as how the last one ended on a cliffhanger. However it wasn't, because we got some of Mount's background. And that I loved! I was able to learn more about him, and even though he was still a pretty scary guy, I was able to start to fall in love with him. This book we see how the two really are starting to fall in love. But there is so much else going on in this one. We learn some things about how in the world Mount found out about Keira waiting that first night. And all I could think was I needed more from the person who did lead him to her. I kept needing to know more, and the author kept putting that off. Then something really major happens, and finally Keira's family comes around. But all I can think as she keeps waiting and waiting for Mount is that he's decided to separate himself from her to keep her safe. I'm so glad that isn't the case.

This book has the fun of Keira kind of coming into her own and starting to order around Mount's employees. Including V, I do love V. By getting the background story of Mount, he might be a man I can fall in love with. A bad guy, but with that avenging angel edge. What happens towards the end isn't what I expected, love that the author could still surprise me even as I knew something was coming. This one was much longer than the first two. I will say that I've decided I'll read anything by this author now. I will not let the tropes that normally turn me away, like mafia romance or dark romance, turn me away, at least not if it is written by Meghan March.
