I shoved my keys in my pocket and approached the front door of her tiny house, my eyes peeled and scanning.

In a second, I was out, hand to the gun under my leather jacket shoved in the holster attached to my belt at the small of my back. I screeched to a halt on the road outside her house in my blue 1968 Corvette Stingray then reversed, parallel parking expertly between two cars. She knew, if I hit the scene, I’d have a mind to carpet stains. If Knight knew something bad was going down, he’d lose his mind which meant someone might lose the use of an appendage. This meant bad things because it meant bad things were happening. Tweaked in my business was not good either. I hope there’s more substance in the next two books I’ve already bought from this series.I drove fast because she sounded tweaked. This part was somewhat intriguing, but ended boringly for me.

In fact, Knight released Creed from his contractual service because the hostile takeover was there one minute, and gone the next. Sylvie and Creed initially reconnected, because they were inadvertently partnered up to help Knight Sebring shut down a hostile takeover of his pimping business/dance club. To the point that this reader started skipping them. (Why the state of Kentucky has a seemingly bad reputation for being “backwards” in every romance novel I’ve read, I don’t know.) Every chapter hence then proceeded to be ho-hum. Sylvie eventually accepts that Creed had all good reason to leave her behind in backwards Kentucky. However, she ended up instigating sex with him.

Sylvie physically attacked him after finding out this piece of tomfoolery – I mentally commended her for it, as it was a very asshole move he made. Up until that chapter when her anti-hero, Tucker Creed, mentioned that he named his kids with another woman the names that Sylvie had once chosen for her own kids with Creed. She was described as a non-typical Kristen Ashley heroine, wherein she’s a badass private investigator, 5’2″ tall, not sweet, and is not clingy. Let me be honest: I started out loving “ Creed” heroine Sylvie Bissenette. There’s only so much unnecessary verbosity I can take. I think I need to take my Kristen Ashley book addictions in small doses, i.e., one book at a time don’t read them all together.
