Summary: Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate raped by the friend. She had two choices. Call the police and his family are killed by Mafia connections, or kill him first and hope for survival. There was no choice to her. They killed the bastard first and went to the only person who could protect her. Carter Reed. He is a weapon for the rival Mafia family, but he is also Emma's secret. Not only was he good friends with her brother, but she is the reason why he was that weapon in the first place.
I think I will just start simple: I loved this book. Really loved it.
I've been reading Sathyanarayana of stories online for a few years now (starting on fictionpress, than livejournal, and I think I have bought all her books that she put up on Amazon too). I hardly read any self-published authors, but she is one of those who keep them completely write off me. I think this may be my new favorite of hers. I sat down and plan on just reading a chapter or two, but I could not stop reading. Seriously, when I finished reading that I realized it was about 10 pm and I forget to eat, because I also was caught up in the story. It's been a while since a book has hooked me that much and literally kept me entertained on the first page to the last one (although the first chapter was hard to read, given the topic).Ashkan has a knack for writing bad boys who make me swoon and female main characters that I really like those weaknesses without ever really appear weak, and Carter and Emma were perfect examples of this. And they write great side characters also--I adored Mike, and Theresa and Noah made me laugh, and Amanda was beautiful ... I'm gushing too much? Oops.
There was really nothing I don't like about the book, the only kind of negatives conceivable that Carter the POV, although there isn't much of it, felt unnecessary (not that it was bad), and one thing about the situation of Mallory doesn't make sense to me (knowing me, I probably just missed something), but even that doesn't really bother me so that they hardly count as negatives. But yes, to sum it up: I loved the characters, the romance made me smile, and the plot kept me hooked from the first page to the last. I have a soft spot for Mafia type romances and I think this is a new favorite. I would judge the book 5 out of 5 stars.
(So I do not remember how Emma was described, but when reading, I portrayed Carter as Mike Vogel/Garrett Hedlund/Stephen Amell and Emma as Nina Dobrev/Leighton Meester) View the original article here
