Okay. I am beginning to see a common theme with this series. Tania plays the damsel in distress, Nico is her Knight in Shining Armor and miraculously saves the day. Nico hates when others hurt Tania but he does all the time. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. Nico is turning more manipulative, conniving, and controlling and I am starting to wonder what Tania still sees in him. This part was my least favorite and I hope the next part is nothing similar. Tania is dumber and accepting Nico's BS while pushing the only man who really knows the meaning of loyalty and respect (smoke) away. It's becoming a cycle with Tania and Nico's ups and downs and nothing in this part blew me away or caught me by surprise.WARNING! SPOILER! ***********The climax at the end with Armando popping back on the scene was HIGHLY doubtful. It seems the author was just lazy and didn't want to take the time to delve into details. Armando is supposed to be one of the biggest drug dealers in the states, yet when it's time to exchange the ransom, he meets Nico alone, with no back up, no gun, and without patting Nico down? Okay.  Also,I found it funny that Nico just happened to be with Keith, who just happened to previously work for the FBI, who just happened to be able to keep all of the government's top secret spy software and gadgets so they could easily track Armando. Oh yeah, he also just happened to have a private jet on hand in Chicago to whisk them away afterwards. Right. Where was the mystery? The drama? The violence? Everything lined up perfectly and went without a hitch. No sense of excitement whatsoever. When trying to locate Armando and Tania, Keith said Armando kidnaps girls and takes them to one of two locations and he knows this from working for the FEDS. If the FBI knew of Armando's "slave den" why TF was he still on the streets? Lastly, Nico and Tania had that procedure done to find the paternity before Tania gave birth. Not only was the testing dangerous to Tania, but extrememly risky for the fetus. They go through with it anyway and then throw the results away because they decided it didn't matter. YOU RISKED YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILD'S...ALL FOR NOTHING?! I wanted to call Tania a stupid B*tch so many times in this book...smh
