The plot was almost identical to book one which made for a long, boring read. The copaganda was tiresome as well.

I just want to get to Lucian and Sloane's book already.

Nash is recovering from his gunshot wound and in a dark mental place. When Lina moves in next door he suddenly has a glimpse of light in his darkness. He could try to make a relationship with her, but why do that. Definitely be toxic instead. 

Lina for her part is equally toxic. She realizes that Nash is in a dark place and tries to help, kind of. Lina is also not in the best mental health space. She had a bad experience as a child and her parents smothered her to the point of running off as an adult and working an extremely dangerous job. 

Lina and Nash are decent as a couple, but not my favorite. They were both in bad places and they "cured" each other. Therapy would probably be better, but I guess love will work. Now I can't wait for Sloane and Lucian. 

Also don't read the extended epilogue, it will ruin part of the next book.

Nash, Knockemout's chief of police was battling his will to live after getting shot on the job. He stumbled upon Lina, Knox 's old friend, and she manages to give him that feeling he needed. 
*Sparks fly* 
Nash regains his memory and Lina helps him unpack his trauma.

This and the previous story was entirely too long. I liked it but didn't love it. The story could have been told effectively in about 200 less ages to be honest.

This series just keeps getting better. I might not have enough stars for number 3 I fear.  

The character arcs in this are just *chefs kiss* and don't even get me started on the spice.....the RESTAURANT scene?! I thought I was going to have to hide myself away with it for hours 😂

While it's a slow burn, it's done SO well and when we finally get there it is beautiful.

Onto number 3!
