〰️ THIS IS A CLIFFHANGER DUET FOLKS 〰️

This is my first from this author and it kept my interest from beginning to end as her world-building and characters were introduced. I liked the toxic explosive chemistry between lethal, cold, dark and deadly Tristan who oozed danger and the disillusioned rival Mafia daughter/pawn Morana. I liked their angsty, highly-charged (but mostly silent) stare-downs and encounters that spoke of death and retribution.. yet smouldered with sexual energy. I liked the icy cold dynamics that slowly began to thaw as these enemies navigated their very hostile waters. And I liked the unfolding of a dark mystery as the storyline revealed some truths and shocking revelations with drama, tension and suspense as time went on.. BUT there were a few things I didn’t like too.

I didn’t like the plot being 95% inner monologue with continual reminders of his “blue eyes” and his “woodsy” smell and always, and repeatedly, referring to him by his full name of Tristan Caine over and over and over again. Or that it was only told from Morana’s point of view.. and Kai’s narration was just okay. And I definitely definitely didn’t like the unexpected CLIFFHANGER either.

Worth a credit? Yes 70% liked so probably.. I liked it even with its flaws and I will get book 2 when it’s released on Audible soon.. and maybe I’ll live dangerously and even continue with the series too if book 2 is better.

4 STARS

Stolen codes lead to a meeting that will change the course of Morana’s life. Tristan is silent and broody and lethal. I enjoyed this even though I prefer first person POV. I did find the last name use a bit repetitive. I liked the push and pull between the characters but be ready for Tristan to be very aloof. Even with his aloofness you could see the possessiveness lurking beneath. Can’t wait for the next book and unraveling more of the mystery of the codes and their past.

Not what I was expecting, pretty awful

I’m sorry but getting through this was like pulling teeth. I’m usually a dark romance and mafia story addict but this story was a bunch of nothing. Nothing happened besides the FMC repeating the same things over and over, which became extremely annoying. Also, why does she call him by his full name? You don’t find out why he hates her until the very end and even then the story doesn’t get interesting but remained dull. Not sure if I want to continue this series. I don’t think I can take several hours of nothing again.
