In theory, this book had the potential to be pretty good. But the characters made it just okay. It possibly could’ve been the narrator. But the characters were definitely on the odd, slightly insane side. This is a follow up to Magnificent Bastard. The author says it’s a standalone, but it’s helpful to have read the first book. I know that because I actually read book 4 of this series first before realizing I needed to start at the beginning.

In this book, we meet Aiden who works for Bash at MBC and fills a different role for women in a different situation. In this case, Aiden becomes the rugged dangerous looking guy to scare off ex boyfriends that are scary and/or abusive. In an odd coincidence, Aiden’s client is the girl he let get away 10 years before. This story is about keeping her safe from her ex as well as giving their love a second chance. See? Sounds really interesting and good, but in reality, it didn’t quite come together. The characters were just too quirky and kind of annoying. The “bad guy” was a mobster so outside of what Aiden and MBC could handle. Thankfully it all worked out, but it still was all a bit odd to me. ( )

This was definitely a fun read. I liked it better than the 1st because Cat wasn't helpless at all. In fact she with kind of a badass. She got in a bad situation with an ex boyfriend who was stalking her and went to Aidan for help. Their back-and-forth banter was very cute and the story definitely had some good romantic scenes. We even got a couple different point of views towards the end so that was fun. Looking forward to book 3 ( )
