I’m used to getting my hands dirty. During the day it’s mud and grime on the construction site. At night…it’s the blood I spill. A drug lord’s enforcer does what needs to be done. It’s my obedience, my loyalty to the boss that keeps my family alive.
I know I’m teetering on the edge. I’m losing my humanity, I can feel it. It’s changing me, and it’s only a matter of time before the darkness takes over.
Then I meet her. Liv. The only person who sees past my busted knuckles and brutal exterior. She sees…me. But being with me will get her killed. The only way I can keep her safe is by staying away. Until her own actions catapult her into the center of my world—a world which will swallow her whole.
Now I’m forced to be the ruthless bastard I’ve been for so long. Only this time it’s not to destroy…but to defend.

My Thoughts <3
Fan of dark romances? This will be your jam. Except our main man is not the dark one, he is the opposite of dark but does not know it. Swoon!
Characters:
Brick is an enforcer for a really freaking bad dude that owns the bad part of town. He was forced into this life when needing money as a child and only stays because the bad dude has leverage on him. He hates what he has to do but just bids his time by working his day job in construction and then at nights he becomes the boogeyman.
Liv is so freaking PURE. This chick was diagnosed with lymphoma and came out swinging. Her sister and brother are SUPER possessive of her now though since they almost lost her. This is completely understandable, but Liv doesn’t want to be safe anymore, she wants to live and experience her life.
Plot:
They meet by coincidence because Brick’s day job is also where Liv’s brother works. There is insta-attraction from both of them, Liv wanting to feel the heat and Brick wanting to feel goodness.
This was a freaking fantastic story line, it is not too much stuff going on or too little. Don’t get me wrong, there is a LOT that happens but it is all necessary in this world that the author created.
Needless to say, I freaking loved it.
Steam:
Slow burn baby, and it was oh so freaking good! I normally am not a fan of 3rd person narratives especially when it comes to the love scenes, but this book definitely is the exception.
IT WAS SO FREAKING HOT and tender too. Gah, just loved it.
All in All:
This book was a great read. It definitely has so freaking dark scenes, but the main man has a heart of gold even if he didn’t realize it. I would recommend this book 100% to folks that like books a little dark. I have definitely read books that are darker if that’s not your jam, but if you like it a little dark, this book has you covered!
5 outta 5 from this girl!
PS: I received this book as an ARC in return for my honest opinion.
