Victoria (Tiny) Corielli is a wonderful and a rather unique heroine. She’s dyslexic and due to that a bit illiterate but she’s also street smart and quite savvy about people. Her job is that of a bicycle messenger. She doesn’t let her lack stop her from doing what she needs to do to take care of her sick mother who’s her best friend and all she has in this world. It’s during one of her deliveries (some legal some not) that she meets a man who helps her ease things for her mother and makes her feel desires she’s never entertained for herself. But he also wants her help to bring someone down and she’s not sure she can do that and neither is he nor does he find he cares if she does so their professional becomes personal.Ian Kerr is so intriguing, he’s alone in this world but he has a purpose, revenge. He’s got the bad boy persona down. He's a successful mysterious rich man but inside there is a hefty dose of tenderness and protectiveness. He’s the kind of man who when he wants something he gets it and once he has it he takes really good care of it and he wants Tiny in ways he never expected to want a woman. The man makes you sigh and wish such a man existed in your own life.These two characters are very likable with heartbreaking histories. I loved the banter between them. Tiny is quite feisty. She stands up to Ian time and again even with the distraction of his male presence and he enjoys throwing her off kilter. Their connection is not just palpable; there is emotional depth that goes along with the chemistry between them. The relationship between Tiny and her mom was heartwarming, would that we all could have such a good relationship with our mothers. The way Ian took care of Tiny’s mother endeared him more to Tiny and to the reader, he did not just provide things but took the time to get to know the woman, to make her smile.This was a really enjoyable romance with an intriguing storyline. There is suspense and just the right dose of sexiness. The ending is not a cliffhanger, it was satisfying, but it is also sets the stage for the next phase in their relationship that’s to come in the next book which will be in Ian’s POV. This reader is so looking forward to that man’s internal thoughts. I read this book as a subscriber to the author’s newsletter and I so enjoyed my morning reads that I had to pick up the book so I can read it again in its entirety whenever I want to.4.5 stars
