And honestly, the way she is written through it aggravated me to no end and her actions after just didn’t fit with the character she was supposed to be. She shines in crafting novels that toe the line between dark and dangerous, and sweet and sexy, which culminates into a deliciously sinful story of passion, truth, and acceptance. The story starts off with Cassidy finishing a dance tour and heading home to her 18th birthday party with her gay best friend Toni.

I really struggled with Nicci's first book, but I could tell the basis was there for awesome storytelling and she 👋 did 👋 not 👋 disappoint 👋! Max, from the beginning, was an asshole, he knows he's an asshole, but he tries to be the person he knows he wants to be for Cassidy in their own way. The series might take you on a rollercoaster of emotions or provide a steady companion on lazy Sunday afternoons. Alpha male on point: jealous, protective, powerful, smart, cocky, and deep, with a single-minded interest in the heroine.A talented ballerina Cassidy lives and breathes for her art it’s been the sole focus in her life until now that is when a certain handsome butcher boy one with a delicious filthy mouth starts to take precedence. Cassidy’s brother Konnor comes back into town with his new girlfriend blesk, but Konnor wants answers, he wants to know who his father is? The storyline had potential, however, both the female and male mc’s personalities were SO BAD it made the book extremely cringe worthy. The district's darling has seen the seedy underbelly of Max's reality and the dark encounters threaten to consume her entirely.

He is also known to be a playboy and claims he doesn’t do monogamy, yet he is different around his 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞. Author notes: Our Thing is book one in The Kids of The District series and has a happily for now with part two live. This may have just been a me thing I didn’t care for the audiobook the narrator really killed the 🌶️ for me so definitely listen to a sample first if you are considering it. Something I didn't see coming and Nicci wrote this with so much emotion that I was blinking away the tears so I could continue reading. as people die… I refuse to let him believe he's nothing more than a piece in his Family's corrupt empire.

There are SO many books where characters will say Aussie slang, but it's supposed to be set in America, so it's just distracting and takes you out of the story. The chemistry, sexual energy and connection between them is incredible ✨ And let me tell you, there are lots of sex. She was very innocent in her thinking, but it is that innocence that breaks through Max's tough exterior. Her depiction of the mafia and the commitments and struggles of those "in" the lifestyle are raw and honest. Also, something happens at the end that makes the relationship unnecessarily bitter and sad the hero goes to jail for a few years, so the hero and heroine are separated AND he misses the first few years of his daughter's life .
