This book is attention grabbing from the very beginning and fascinates with continual changes of plot throughout. J. Kenner uses her phenomenal writing skills and expertise to set the prologue for this intriguing story. The speeding car is personified and the small town of Laguna Cortez is described. Deceptively it seems innocent and peaceful when viewed from a distance. It reminds me of the tranquil opening scene and style of 'Mice and Men'. Throughout the book single words, phases and sayings are cleverly used by the author to pull in the reader, evoke memories and feelings or to create mental images. We certainly know what this saying means; 'whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'...A refreshingly new romantic world is created featuring a many faceted, tortured alpha male. Delvin Saint is wealthy, sexy, charismatic, has business acumen and lives for dominance and control. He has adorable, even admirable qualities. But behind his outward facade of calm and authority that he has fabricated, he is dangerous. And he has dark secrets which he has purposely kept hidden away, in the shadows for years. But why?And Ellie Holmes our heroine is strong, beautiful, determined and tenacious. She is real and believable. She is intent on looking for truth. She is relentlessly searching for answers to tragic and unforgettable events in her past. And these are irresistibly and intriguingly linked to Laguna Cortex and Devlin Saint. But how? And why?Well, hurry and grab your copy of this awesome book and find out the connections and answers yourself. I live in anticipation for the next book 'My Beautiful Sin' to satisfy my continuing curiosity.

I have read most of this authors novels and the majority I have thoroughly enjoyed and felt some better than others. This one is to me by far the best storyline she has ever written so far. The alpha Male Devlin is so fragmented but protective. He has some earth shattering secrets that the reader learns as we go through the story. He had a dark past that haunts him and leaves him running. We have the heroine Ellie a girl who has courted tragedy most of her life, and Devlin has a large part in that. However we cannot keep the wolf from the door, it is knocking and the consequences could be lethal. There is every sort of emotion in this novel. Deliciously and delightfully written it is a sheer joy. Really absorbing and extremely difficult to put down , until the bitter end.

I really love reading all of Ms Kenner’s books especially the ones about the gorgeous Stark family and the spin off series . ❤️❤️ So when this series of books were announced I thought no alpha male could compete with my Damian but boy how I was wrong . Now some one shares his top spot that is MR Devlin Saint , has all the charisma and sexyness ooozing out of his pours he’s edgy and dark like Damian with so many secrets , and from the little tease we had at the end of the first book there’s still a lot more to come . The main female character is Ellie Homes who’s life was turned upside down, when first her mother dies , and then her father who was the police chief died in the line of duty . Her only living relative is her rich Uncle Peter who she goes to live with. On Ellie’s 16 th birthday she meets the person that’s helping her uncle with his work, the boy in question is Alex Leto and the two obviously are attracted to one another, in fact the only thing that’s holding him back is Ellie’s age . Ellie was dealt another emotional blow when her BFF Brandy and her family moved away suddenly . At least for the time being Ellie was happy to go home knowing that she’ll be able to see Alex ,but in the back of her mind that soon he’d be leaving to go to college . Then on her 17 th birthday thing moved more in the direction she wanted although never going far enough that was until two months after her birthday when she received the devastating news that her Uncle had been killed . That’s when she turned to Alex and finally got what they both wanted ,but instead of cuddling and talking after the event Alex up and left and Ellie never saw him again , until !!!!!! .......... and no I’m not continuing you’ll need to read the book to find out . There’s loads of OMG 😱moments and revelations galore it was a thrilling start to what I’m sure is going to be an epic story . ❤️❤️😍😍

Is this a thriller, a steamy sex novel or a sweet romance? Characters that fit i one scenario are clearly unsuitable or uncomfortable in the other, and it shows.The thriller is lost in the confusing story. The romance is inconsistent; people do not change their personalities in the manner described; and the sex scenes feel like an afterthought. A very long afterthought.It is not surprising that it will take three volumes to tie this up, you therefore need to be committed before you begin, but I don't think I want to take it further.

The first 55% of the book was pants and a bit too much ‘Magnum PI’ - thank goodness for the 2nd half which was far better! It just ‘eeked’ to a 4 star. Just! Not sure it quite deserved the rave reviews some readers gave it. I will read book 2, but this one will not be going on my coveted ‘Books I would read twice list’
