He’s cocky and arrogant…while also being too handsome for words. She just wants to finish this internship without causing anyone bodily harm.

Whew chile. I knew book 2 was going to be nonstop nonsense, drama and shenanigans but I still wasn’t prepared for all that Ms Davenport had planned for Khara and Riddick!

What a story! I was not convinced I was going to like it but, as I got further in, I realized it was harder and harder to put it down.

All the covers in this series are stunning. And, while I don’t think they accurately reflect the descriptions of the main character in this book, it didn’t detract from my enjoyment. This is book 1 of 4, so come ready to read all of them as they end on cliffhangers.

A joy and a delight! Such a fun book. I already knew what to expect from the other 2 in this series but it did not take away from my enjoyment!
