I just… I don’t know. 

I wanted to like this book and at parts I did. I liked that Camille seemed independent and passionate about her business. I also liked that while there was a lot of communication, Dimitri was never really violent like some mafia books. He really was mostly just a business man. 

However the amount of miscommunication in this book I just… didn’t make any sense to me. They don’t have a complete conversation until the last 10 pages. 

She assumes she killed ex in the first 10 pages. She assumes he doesn’t love her. She assumes he knows about the baby and doesn’t want it or her. She assumes he just wants her money. And while I understand being afraid of those things most of the time there isn’t much to back this up, especially if she has built that kind of connection she’s supposed to have formed with him. 

I did like the action packed in. But like… who was trying to kill her? Who was attacking her? It was clear the guy was a hit man who was hired by someone targeting the brothers but… we don’t really solve that problem of who hired him? I guess the only person who could have done it the rival Bravta but literally that’s just mentioned and brushed over. 

There is a lot of spice. I think that was the main focus and the plot was just… well yeah.

I said this was complicated for plot/character driven because it certainly did not feel like a character driven story and yet where was the plot?
