Kingston Wells is a young DEA agent, trying to excel in his work while looking out for his brother and elderly grandmother and dealing with a complicated history with his incarcerated father. Dropping his brother off to class, he runs right into Tiffany Summers, and knows he wants her. But her first instinct is to resist. Tiffany has no time for games and with brothers like Grey and Blu she's doubtful anyone can apply the pressure she needs without being intimidated by them. But Kingston is different, and he doesn't give up easily.
I love me a young hothead with a slick ass mouth and Kingston have me goosebumps. He was on ten the entire book--serious about his desire for Tiffany, and about showing her he wouldn't back down when it came to getting her. Their relationship was so passionate and sweet. I giggled the entire time. I loved the way they bantered and eased into their comfort with each other. I love that Tiffany was so open, so optimistic even with all her caution. The Summers family and Kingston's grandmother as supporting cast was thought out and wonderful, even in the tense moments. It was overdone or overly dramatic, there was good balance there. August's subplot hit hard enough to give Kingston the layers his character needed as older brother, and you felt the emotion of what happened to their family. The drama with Tiffany's boss caught me as a tiny bit dramatic, but I got it and wasn't lost. And it introduced Dallas and Houston (I'm looking for them next, lol). It was a great story and I was fully engaged, and in love with their love.
