This book has a history in South Africa. I admit it is not for everyone some parts of the history is hard to read. There is a lot of corruption going on here. Besides that it is a little dark with respect to some of the gang related areas of Cape Town. I like dark so yes I did enjoy it. When the dog comes up with the bone it starts everything off. The description of the human bone and all was good enough to start the plot on a slow upward march. 

The character of Dr Clare Hart who is an investigative profiler is called to start the investigation. Her lover Riedwaan is the Captain in charge of the gang unit. These two are both working the same crime. I will admit the name Reidwaan was not going over well with me. It was one I never heard and found it hard to keep seeing. There is language and terms that I was not familiar with either so it made parts a little difficult.

It is an enjoyable read especially if you are a mystery lover especially one that is wrapped in turmoil of the political nature.

At eleven years old, Macie James was certain she saw her prince standing in her kitchen with his rosy cheeks and cute smile. She was going to marry that boy, she had no doubt about it. As she became a teenager, it was that boy who taught her how to become a confident and sure woman. As the years went by and they grew up, he taught her how to love and to be loved.

Greyden Michaels was surprised when he fell for his best friend’s little sister. He wasn’t opposed to it and, even more surprising, neither was his best friend. When he was in college and her just in high school, he realized they were too young to be committed, he opted for friendship with her and together they decided their love was for the future.

When you hesitate, life happens. When life happens, your plans change. Macie wanted her fairy tale and Greyden was prepared to give it to her when unfortunate events changed his whole life, including his future with the UFC and, most devastatingly, with her. Macie made the decision to live her life, to move on without Greyden, especially once she met the man who wanted to marry her and give her the life he couldn’t.

The problem with that was that Greyden had always seen her as his. Could he give her up completely for her supposed happiness or could he somehow manage to get his life in order to try and win her back, heart and soul?

Without Doubt (the Without series)

Being a dreamer her whole life, CJ had big plans as a child to move to New York and live the city life. She wanted to escape the small country town she grew up in and be an independent woman. The dreaming never stopped, changed a little but never stopped. Instead she married a boy from that small country town and decided to somewhat travel together. One day, living in Northern California they decided to pack up and move to Texas, just because. That’s where she resides today doing what she loves the most… mothering her children, loving her Husband and living vicariously through all of the stories she gets to create and write up daily.

I’ve gotta review this but HOW? The main characters are Landon and Daisy but then it’s Gray and Daisy. Ok but they aren’t the BEST you know who is Cat Mason cause she gave ME Hunter aka Cunter This was steamy, sexy, realistically told and I hope will go on and on. 

Renee Advises readers: Tell someone who needs to get laid they gotta read this it’s as good as sex. I liked Camaron as my second fave. OMG Apple Fritter

NOW This cracks me up! I look back on my updates on Goodreads and laugh so hard. So not spoiler Landon and Daisy are engaged, and they are ending the summer with a six week tour to help Shaft, the band on tour. Now Landon and Gray are brothers, well it is complicated. Anyways when the meeting between Daisy and Gray happens it sort of screamed at me. I was not pleased. It was predictable. It was one of those male big band ego guys coming up to get some from a cutie. Burst the bubble now it is Daisy, your future sister in-law you turd! 

Everything that happens after the predictable moment is totally UN-predictable. There are so many curve balls thrown into this very steamy novel. We have all read the famous rock God type novels, you know the Olivia ones we all drool over? Well this is a rival for sure.

Now lastly in my fave category for this book is Hunter! Yes he is a dream in the making, a child needing love, a kid needing attention and copious amounts of bacon. He is the funniest, boldest and most fave character to me anyways! He sort of hooks up with a lot of people, then the comes Chase, she is something else. I know when you read this book he will be the star too.

Plot wise– there are a few reveals that make you spit 

Characters– some you expect, most you never knew you would love

BAD characters– the ones that you love because the author creates them in a way that you love to hate them 

Lots to love here. I totally recommend it!
