It felt really really fun to read at first, but in the end was just... unsatisfying. i think too little of this book centered around romance, and too much of it around quin's work. Instead of actually developing conflicts between them (for ex the kiss thing or him not wanting to get involved w her), they just kinda happened and then were ignored or sorted out in a couple scene. I got very very bored of hearing about his russia trip and how much they talked during it. the first half was intriguing but i needed more.

What a cute story. Warm and fuzzy with a little suspense and angst. I felt I needed a break from the big chunk of book I currently reading and this was exactly what I needed. It is a nice story with a lot of nice characters in a new branch of the Navesink Bank universe. I pretty much knows what to expect from Gadziala so it always feels safe to read her books. They are not that long, I can easily read her books in one day, and I get pretty much everything I seek.
For you who are new to my blog, Jessica Gadziala is one of my favorite authors. She writes several series that intervene with each other throughout this fictive city, called Navesink Bank. Each series is about a different branch in the city. For an example, we got the MC club, the government hating military group, the hackers, the investigator, the loan sharks and now the fixers. This is the first book in her new series "The professionals", who fix things. We meet Quin, who is the owner of this establishment of men and women. Then we meet Aven who are in trouble. No trouble of her own making but trouble still the same. She have tried the legal way to solve it but receives no help from the police and when the situation takes a turn for the worse, she turns to Quins team for help. With no money, no friends and no family her situation feels hopeless but Aven refuses to give up and does everything she can, to survive.
It is a really a nice story with a lot of new characters in the Navesink Bank universe. The side characters in this book, plays a big part, which is unusual for Gadziala. Normally the side characters are there and around but never so much involved like in this book and I really like it. That gives me some time to tie some feelings with them and now I can hardly wait to get my hands on their own books. But only Gunners book is written so far, so right not that is not as easy. Anyhow, good story, great characters and in the same Gadziala spirit as always. The only thing I didn't like with the book is that I feel that Avens problem got solved a little too easy and quick. It went a little too fast and the suspense had no real time to build until it was gone and done. Which gave me an anticlimactic feeling. I would have wanted a little more.

Happiness found after her darkest moment
When no one who was supposed to help did, Aven turned to The Fixer. Little did she know he'd not only make her problem disappear, he'd become the thing she didn't realize was missing in her life.

I really enjoyed this one....4.5 really! It was exciting with all the bad guy drama going on. The romance was a really slow burn. I would have preferred if they had gotten together sooner.

Overall enjoyable book, if you can ignore the fact that the reason she needs a fixer is

such a clear-cut self defense death that I'm not sure why she didn't just call the fucking cops instead of hiding the body.broabooks's review against another edition

Pretty good, a bit boring towards the end but the beginning was really original
