Goodreads...
I was born into a dark kingdom. I’m a mob princess—a pretty little flower in a gilded cage. No boys ever climbed my tower. No men ever got through the walls built around me.
No one, except Vincent Cave.
My bodyguard, my shadow. My gruff, silent, watchful guardian angel. A teddy bear to me, but a savage to anyone who’d seek to harm me.
First he was my innocent crush. Then, it wasn’t so innocent.
Eleven years older, and utterly gorgeous. Eyes that make my knees weak, arms I could get lost in, and lips that mine wanted to taste since I knew lips could do that.
I’m back after three years away at boarding school. I thought that would cure me, but there’s no cure for Vincent Cave. Not when three years have made him hardened, and growlier, and even more irresistible.
When the danger he always shielded me from comes calling, it’s Vincent and me, alone, on the run.
I’ve grown up. He’s noticed.
It was just a crush. Now, it’s just dangerous.
Looking for the perfect blend of steamy and sweet? Some heat with your feels? This is just what you need! No cliffhanger, and a perfect happy ever after.
My take...
This one hit a bit different than what I have read of Cole’s other books. I am not sure what it was but I fell even more in love with this author’s writing, his storytelling and the characters. Cole gave us flashbacks that started off 12 years prior and as the book progressed, the flashbacks got closer to present time. It was nicely done and coincided with the current chapter in some way.
Age gap romance & crime family plot, equals 2 of my favorite tropes. This book gets all the stars!!
