Criminal

I have waited for this, for what seems like forever, and I am so glad it has finally arrived. Criminal is my favourite book in the series so far! I reviewed an early copy of this book voluntarily.


Lydia and Talents story starts with Tramp (Book #1) where we see Lydia, an escort, with Talent, a lawyer. During the book we find out more about these two, and if you haven't read Tramp, you may not want to read the rest of this review.

Criminal takes place after Camilla and Wilder get married (the first time) and shows a deeper look into the mafia world. This book shows the hardship of loving someone with trauma, and how they can overcome it. Lydia's inner monologue of push and pull was fantastic and I loved seeing Talent's side with how he handles Lydia's hot and cold personality.

I absolutely loved Lydia's character development and how she learns to trust and love Talent by the end. Lydia struggles with a lot of self confidence issues and I find myself connecting to her character as she worked through those thoughts. My heart breaks for Lydia. I liked that Talent pushed her a bit so she could get there, even if it wasn't his original intention. In between these two fighting for their love we get to see issues between crime families and new characters popping up to make problems for the family. I also enjoyed seeing the dynamic between Talent and his brother, Wilder. Seeing the support they give each other during hard times is very heartwarming.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and look forward to reading more in this series! Because that ending ! I need more!
