I adored Sergei and Angelina!!! Angelina is the recently orphaned daughter of a cartel boss attempting to escape her father's killer. Sergei is an ex black ops hitman who is struggling with PTSD and trauma. After he rescues her as she's transported from Mexico and they bond eventually. I adored their banter and chemistry. The plot was amazing and the whole conclusion was great! My only issue is that they never talked seriously really. Pretty much everything she learned about him was second hand and the whole climax could have been avoided with a chat.

This was good. I loved learning about Sergei because I've been curious about him since the first book. I liked the bond between Sergei and Felix as well. I also liked the way Angelina helped Sergei with his PTSD and really stood up for him in a sense. I'm looking forward to reading the next book, it was set up really well. I'm really enjoying  this series so far.
