This is definitely not my first book by Jackie Ashenden, and it won't be my last. I've read all three books in this series, and I'm definitely hanging in there to see what happens with Quinn. I'm hoping he's next, but there are a couple other characters I wouldn't mind also getting stories for too. This is certainly a series with the potential for several more books. If you like surly growly alphas hiding big softy hearts, this is the series for you.
Rush is bitter, rude, crude, and just all around not very fun to be around. He has a right to be, but it doesn't make him an easy person. Ava is a serious blunt straight shooter who was raised by a single dad and has no concept of feminine wiles or really anything related to the games men and women play. She's a complete innocent who is much younger than Rush but has loved him forever. Rush starts our pretty determined to crush that love. He really does care about her and doesn't want to maliciously hurt her, but he sees treating her badly as the only way to protect her from getting hurt by getting to close to him. Regardless of his feelings, or lack of feelings, for her, Ava needs Rush to help her track her mother's killer. He's the only one one with the right connections. He doesn't want to be around her enough to help, but it's Ava, and there is no way he is going to sit back and watch her get herself hurt going after the killer alone.
These two characters were so very opposite. Rush was so very crude, and everything was related to a certain part of his anatomy, but I loved him anyway. The story had plenty of emotional ups and downs and so much sexual tension. It was great, and I'm ready for more.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for honest review.
