Maya is covered in bruises and fleeing an abusive ex with her daughter Harper & stowes away on a boat heading for a small island off the coast of maine. That boat happens to belong to Torin a grumpy closed off ex assassin who has spent the last five years isolating himself after the death of his wife and son for which he blames himself. Personally I love a grumpy reluctant MMC who even though adamant he doesn't like the FMC or want anything to do with her just can't help himself when he sees she needs help and Torin gives exactly that, he fixes a leak in her cabins roof, chops wood for her fire and allows Harper to drag him into conversations and spend time with him. As the story goes on his feelings towards Maya change and he becomes obsessed with getting to know & figuring her and her past out. The chemistry between them is there and after rescuing her it finally combusts and from that point on keeps doing so frequently throughout the book and Ria sure knows how to write some excellent spice, the dirty talk is on point and the way he calls Maya "Little Doe" just worked for me.
I would say this is definitely more of a Romantic Suspense than a Dark Romance, it does deal with dark themes to an extent but in my personal opinion none of them are written about in extensive enough detail to warrant this falling under the Dark Romance banner. But reading is subjective so check content and TWs if necessary. I wanted Harper to be more present in the story and I wish we had gotten some more scenes with her but especially to have seen Torin form a deeper connection/bond with her would have just elevated this story for me. I enjoyed the side characters and Im looking forward to Rhetts book as his character intrigued me. This was a good read, I enjoyed it and was my first book narrated by Janine Granda, her performance was great and I will definitely listen to her again, Troy Duran was incredible as always, his gruff tone just works for characters like this. I will definitely be listening to the next book in this series at some point. 🌶🌶🌶
Good Romantic Suspense

Tory Duran and Janina Granda are a great team. Both understand their characters and bring each emotion and each facet of their personalities alive. Duran plays the cranky Torin with ease, but quickly changes to the over protective alpha I love that he does. Granda comes in as Maya, scared yet brave and her passion comes through each scene. Loved these two and their narration.
Get ready! This is fantastic!
