This is one of Rina Kent's books that can be read standalone. Knox and Anastasia met at the bar one night and had a one-night stand. She was escaping a life she did not want to be in and he was looking for sex. He woke up looking for more, but he was gone. Imagine his surprise when she shows up as a new IT worker at his job and is now going by Jane. The duo reconnect both physically and emotionally. The only problem is, she has some secrets that could hurt both her and Knox.
These two together were intense. Knox is ever the alphahole, dominating Anastasia, but this is what Anastasia is looking for. There was some good tension, but I would have liked more. Knox and Anastasia were interesting, though their relationship was a bit instalovey.
I knew this would have mafia parts in it, but it seemed to come out of no where around the 65-70% mark and then there is so much mafia for the last 30%. I would have liked there to be more from the start. I did enjoy the throwbacks to the Royal Elite series, which has been a favourite of mine, getting to see everyone from that series.
Rina Kent knows how to write possessive, jerkish men. She gets you to like them, and even root for them. I look forward to checking out Daniel's story, which is next!
