Dena’s Thoughts
I was genuinely excited to read this book! I really enjoyed the first one and the way it set up Kat and Nolan. I mean how can you not get romance off a drunken dare where you have to take off a man’s belt using your teeth?? Perfect.
Kat is trying to not follow in her parent’s footsteps. She put her dreams on hold to help raise her sister but true to her parents form, it went from helping so being sole guardian. Going through the custody process, Kate’s past keeps getting thrown in her face potentially putting at her keeping her sister at risk.
Nolan is a by the books, strictly black and white, towns golden boy. He doesn’t color outside the line for anyone, however having Kat in his life makes him realize, he likes the mess and chaos. When there a heavy drugs on the streets and someone is stealing from his family’s business and the not so girl next door becomes involved, he starts to see that maybe the lines need to be crossed every now and again.
Kat and Nolan have a great banter and the tension between them is great! Kat is so used to doing everything alone but with Nolan continuously showing up for her, her walls start to lower. I really loved Nolan. He’s confident, protective, and patient. His steadiness is exactly what Kat needs. This was a little more serious than her last book but I still enjoyed it so much! I’m really looking forward her next!
