Publisher's summary

Aurora Scuderi spent her childhood and teenage days doing one thing-- loving Nevio. Until one fateful moment, he breaks her heart without a second thought. Leaving Aurora with her broken heart bleeding in her hands. Fleeing Las Vegas is the only way for Aurora to heal - forget Nevio and that night. But a man like Nevio can’t be shaken off that easily. The hunter in him was awakened.

Nevio Falcone is darkness. It seeps from his pores. It’s where his monster comes out to play to satisfy its cravings. Until he starts to crave something other than carnage: the one woman he shouldn’t pursue - Aurora.

What Nevio craves, he ruins. He told her to keep her distance. Now it’s too late to run away. Consequences be damned.

Fantastic Narration

Let me start off by saying this cast of narrators were fantastic. They all did a great job bringing the characters to life. I absolutely loved the passion and commitment they had to keep the characters true to the story. I knew going into this book that a lot of people have been putting it and Cora down because they didn't like where the story went. I never let that effect my experience. I love all of Cora's books. Was it the best no, I am not saying that. Was it the worst of course not. I have read some pretty crappy books and this doesn't even qualify as a crappy book. Did I hope for more for Nevio maybe just a little but come on he is a Falcone. You cannot expect him to be like his father. Did he have a bad childhood with lots of trauma no but he grew up in a violent world and no one ever tried to curb his violence and he probably didn't get the same discipline or life lessons as the older generation. We can see that in our own children today. They are desensitized to the world around them and to not see those character traits in the next generation of the Falcones is absurd. The hate Nevio got for being a shit father was overly exaggerated. Could he have done better and stepped up more yes I agree; however, if someone dropped a baby off out of nowhere you wouldn't be a great parent from the jump either. That's not to say he couldn't have tried more but if he was perfect from the word go it would be unbelievable at best. Love and a bond takes time for men. They don't carry the baby and if they haven't even known there was a possibility of a baby that's a hard pill to swallow. Nevio was very unfair to Auruoa. He didn't give her the time of day until he made a big mistake and it forced him to see her in a way he never truly thought about. She did deserve more from him and over time she got more from him. I think she was a strong fmc because she took to being a mom even when she didn't have too. It takes a strong woman to love someone unconditionally in the situation she was put in. My only want from this book was more. I wanted to see more of their growth. We know Nevio finally started to get his crap together but I wanted more of that. I want to know that they are going to grow and build their family. I want to know where they are heading in life. I just want more.
