“Contrary to common belief, I’m not heartless. I’m relentless.” 
 
Jonathan King is the father of Aiden King, and uncle of Levi King. Jonathan is a known businessman who is ruthless and pretty much does whatever he wants. Jonathan runs his business using people’s fears. Jonathan is also Alicia’s widow, who has been dead for the last 11 years. 
 
Aurora Harper is a watch maker, who is trying to save her business. Aurora is Alicia’s younger sister, and 11 years ago, Aurora dropped for the face of the earth, but has to come back asking for help from Ethan Steel. However, Jonathan swoops in and Aurora is now stuck with Jonathan for the next 6 months. 
 
Let’s face it, the best character is Layla - Aurora’s best friend. I really ended up loving Aurora’s character. Aurora had a bit more backbone than the girls from the royal elite series I think. Aurora definitely does now have the power in their relationship, but Aurora is better at negation, and working so that both of them win and lose something at the same time. I also think the storyline for Aurora is so interesting, and I am loving it! The thing that I feel was missed was that it could have been a bit darker.
 
Tropes:
  • Age gap (17)
  • Wife’s little sister
  • Widow
  • Toxic relationship

<strong>daddy? sorry. daddy? sorry. daddy?</strong>

Dominant. Cold. Addicting.
Jonathan King is the anti-hero in this read by Raina Kent. He is controlling over his dead wife’s sister once she enters their lives after eleven years. She really wasn’t apart of their lives except in the distance. This was a hard book to put down as are all of Rina Kent’s books for me. I cannot wait to jump into the next book. Hopefully their relationship isn’t as rushed as it felt through this one.
