Fantastic short prequel to what I hope is a great series! Our characters Lola & Layton are young teenage friends when the story begins & they are clearly starting to recognize each other as a little more than friends when tragedy strikes Lola's family. Their families are in the mafia & soon these two kids are torn apart. It seems that even though Lola & Layton should not have been friends due to loyalties to their family they actually were for quite a few years, at least until Lola heard that Layton is working for the enemy. Lola is blackmailed to save her family & she doesn't have much of a choice other than to fight back, and to fight dirty which means Lola will most likely never be the same. We know that Layton was her protector & confidant when they were childhood friends but who exactly is he now? Does he want more from Lola but he can't go against his family? Lola & Layton have a major sexual attraction going on & even when Lola should be scared for her life she can't dismiss Layton's seduction. The book ends on a great cliffhanger & we are left hoping Lola can make a clean break from her former life & start over...and yet what kind of life will that be without Layton? Great start to the series!!
