There are of course some characters carried over from book 1. I really enjoyed book one and this is a spin off, not necessarily a sequel but dont be cheated read book 1. Ava Sterling is tough! I loved her attitude at the bar when she first meets Declan. Of course it is sort of fate when they meet. She never works on Thursday, but he is always there on Thursday. Secretly she has watched him on the video monitor, but in the bar, she is cool as a cucumber in a salad. There is a great buildup to her reveal. I didn’t see it coming at all!

She is focused on her goals and does her best to resist Declan. Oh gosh he is hottie! What a line he gives her over and over. The cutest parts of his dialogue were when he couldnt figure why she wasnt bowed at his feet. I loved it! I thought the character of Declan was written really good. He was not extreme in his fighting career but there was a lot of discipline in that aspect of his life. He lacked discipline in everything else. His family was tight and he had a great relationship with Macie his sister. I want to get a book for her! His parents were still together, they had wealth, but nothing over the top.

His career was pretty much on track. I think he had goals, like Ava in his bed. It was a lot steamier than book 1. There were some scenes that had steam, but nothing extreme. I made a rhyme! Anyways this was a really good book, I thought better than book 1. I really want more of these characters. Again the author blows me away with her names they were fantastic again! Bravo
