To anyone else, the gesture might seem warm and romantic. But when his palm lands on my back, searing me through the thick fabric I have on, I feel his fingers dig into me. Clawing. Claiming. It's not romantic, so much as it is Aiden asserting his dominance over the situation. Over me."

After reading Vipers & Virtuosos, I rate this 4 stars, and for the first book, I would down a star to 3 stars.
Vipers and Virtuosos have more content in the plotline, it moves, and there is a development in the plotline and characters.
The chemistry of their relationship was built up, even if there was a sense of instant romance.
This enemies-to-lovers romance gives a different kink of bullying and stalking.

The beginning of the book was quick and got my attention so fast.
I was hooked and addicted to the tension it builds.
It excited me; curiosity filled my mind with Riley and Aiden's past.

When part 2 started, it slowed down a bit, following each of their POVs, more focused on their emotions and the tension they built.
However, the downside was that there were many holes in the plotline.
There was a lot of unanswered question that built throughout the plotline.
I still got questions about Aiden and Riley's childhood history; I wish there were more action in Riley and Boyd's family mafia world.
I wanted to know more about Aiden's past and family, what led him to feel that way, his career and his scars.

The ending felt quite rushed.
The tension that built between them is down upon them no communication.
The romance focuses really through the bullying and the smut.
I wanted to see more relationships between the side characters.

While I enjoyed it more than the first book, it gave me an unsatisfactory feeling when I was done reading it.
However, the writing hooked me, and I will continue the series.

"Okay, then. Let's kill Riley Kelly."

Stalker romance? A girl goes to an live auction and gets bid on. The guy who bids on her is a rockstar she used to love when she was younger. They have a night of fun, but she runs away from him at the end. When she gets back home the next day from her trip there are rumors about them and she decides to go into hiding. The rockstar spends years looking for her and finds her. He thinks she did him wrong so he wants revenge, but they end up realizing they both are infatuated with each other. 

Truly I feel like I love the love story between the main characters brother and girlfriend more. Anytime they were in the book, that was my favorite part. 

Also we get to see Kal a few times from the first book in this series.
