My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Reaper is an ex-serviceman who does jobs that are most often a favour for an old friend - generally righting the wrongs that the justice system cannot. When he does one which involves killing the man who is responsible for an innocent woman being dragged into a human trafficking ring, he expects it to be a simple case of getting in, getting out and leaving nothing but bodies behind. The bonus is he wiped some scum off the Earth and countless women will not have to go through that ordeal in the future. However, in this case, he is only removing the tip of the iceberg as there are other women trapped and he has followed the thread to New York. But it is not going to be as easy as he needs to work without the beautiful cop and her hot-headed partner getting in the way and at the moment they are not staying in their own lanes. The feisty brunette cop is in his head and it is a distraction that he cannot afford no matter how good it is to be inside her. But he will do what he has to complete the mission but then there will be a reckoning - but who will survive it?
I liked this story which was definitely dark and complicated in places, but central to the entire book was the relationship and events between Reaper and Viktoria the NYPD cop as they both try to take down the Russian mafia and save women from being trafficked. Viktoria was very much of the view that everything had to be done by the book whereas Reaper just wanted to remove the traffickers and free the women. Over time their relationship moved from adversary to working together to reach the same aim and I loved the way that the story finished. I was thrilled when the story ended as it did. Contains lots of angry sex. Easy to read and very addictive.
