4* ( )

I've been dying for this book but it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Roman was great. The action was intense. The problem was Harper. I just didn't really care about her. She felt very flat and cardboard like. And the backstory for her was just so unnecessary. I mean really Roman's dad killed hers? It was a weak plot. Wasn't it enough that he died. She never searched or found out that her dad was even a spy. Plus there wasn't as much Dex which was disappointing especially considering his connection to Roman (his brother in law) . It was an enjoyable read but I wasn't wowed. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 because I did like finally getting to read Roman's tale. ( )
