⭐ ⭐ Provided by Author in Exchange for an Honest Review ⭐ ⭐ Judging a Book by it's Cover: Original cover is awful dark and does not catch the eye very well. However, the new cover is bold, vibrant, striking. Synopsis does not provide a lot of information on the series, but I was told this is a series about a set of brothers that are in law enforcement. Looking Deeper: Third-person POV. This prequel novella starts out in a rather unique way. The injured heroine enters a crime scene, that we learn more about later. Helen is a lawyer, mostly handling custody cases. Jamie is a contractor, hired by the property owner that leases Helen's office space to repair damages at the aforementioned crime scene. They just happen to have a one-night life-altering night behind them from about a year ago. Both lead characters are strong and smart. The secondary characters consist primarily of her much older sister, four nephews and one niece, latter five all working in law enforcement (FBI and Chicago PD). There are a few other minor secondaries that also help build and fill the individual plot. Dialogue is very good, interaction is believable.The plot, while a bit predictable, was quick-paced and easy flowing. There were a few spots where something was mentioned that happened "a while ago" and you feel like you've been left out of the loop or are missing information, but I'm assuming it was meant to give the Donovan's a more established history right off the starting block. I enjoy the interaction of the family structure between the Donovan's, but wish we had the opportunity to learn a little more about the Jamie and his history instead of feeling like he was almost delegated to a secondary character in light of the series as a whole. The conclusion felt a bit rushed and loose-ended, implying there would be a Happily Ever After but not really solidifying it. I'm hoping their story continues to play out in the background of the other books in the series. Overall, this was a quick read with an enjoyable plot. While I felt that the Evans side of the couple was sidelined to the bigger picture, the couple themselves were equals and a very good match. I hope to read the other books in this series in the near future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rating: 4 [R] ~ Score: 4.1 ~ Stars: 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great book will tell my friends and family to read it 😊 thank you for a great read❤️

This book was very hard to follow and seemed more like a sequel then a first book in a series.
