This was my first read by this author. The writing was strong and the characters were well written. It was hard to watch Tensi disappear into a controlling relationship with Branwell. The killer made no sense and felt like the reason came out of left field with no warning.

I received this ARC through Pen Pinery and it is my honest review.

Ivy has hated Gabriel for 7 years. She hasn't seen him for 7 years. When he walks into her bar, though, he doesn't understand or remember what happened. As he searches for the truth, someone is trying to close down Ivy's bar. Ivy is a strong, FC, and we learn a lot about her. Gabriel is harder to get to know and honestly, I had a hard time believing they fell for each other.

Although I received this book for free from Pen Pinery, this has not influenced my review.

I am glad I kept at this book. The first half of the bit felt too long, and I kept putting it down and coming back to it. I think some things could have been cut out that wasn't important. The second half was awesome as things started happening (and falling apart)! I loved the banter between Sebastian and his Boston Renegades teammates. There were many LOL moments! I can't wait for the next book in this interconnected series!
