These books are right on par with books like 50 shades except they are so much more real. Mason is a career criminal and Ava is basically an adopted mob boss daughter. Both are damaged from their past but I really liked their story. There were a few things in the series that bugged me a lot. There were waaaay too many sex scenes and they just drug on and on. Crazy to say but true. I felt like Ava never cut mason any slack and every time he made her mad she ran off. It really bothered me at times that Ava's character was kind of a slut. He could have one little row with mason and the first guy who sniffed around she was panting and trying to control her hormones. I'm sure there are girls like this in real life but that's not my cup of tea. I also hated how every single guy that encounters Ava is panty dropping hot an of course wants her and loves her. I felt like all the characters "loved" each other way too fast. Ava cheats on mason with a guy she'd only met 2x and was heart broken when she had to end it bc they were in love too. I think the author had a hard time distinguishing bw writing words of love and writing words of lust. Having said that-Ava truly and unconditionally loves mason and him her. She helps him fight a drug addiction and he helps her over come her demons. There's a lot of real life fighting and heart break and let me just say-mason sure knows how to apologize! I mean I found myself wanting to reach in the book and make Ava except his apology because he's just sooooo good with them. This trilogy was really good and I loved the characters and loved how the story felt real.
