Loved, loved, loved this book. I got so swept away in this story I never wanted it to end. The writing was  amazing and these story itself as well as the world building was brilliant. If I could only find more books like this I would be one happy happy girl. Everyone mentioned how long it was(though it didn't long at all when I was reading it)and thats what made me hold off but starting a few MC books that I had to put down because I disliked them so much had me saying what are you doing a long great book is just that great, I would rather pick up a book I love than all of the books that I have stopped reading lately because they  were horrible(and it takes a lot for me to put a book down I hate not finishing books).Iris at her end decides to go live with her half brother, with little money and no job or home she knows this is her only option. Now with her brother Sonny's help she has a job and even though it's dealing with the MC she knows she needs this job. When she first meets her boss she knows already that she will be looking for a new job yes he may be gorgeous but he's a jerk and each day gets worse and worse. But something in Iris tells her to stick it out, and with all her brother has done to help her she does. Soon even though her boss is the biggest jerk on the universe she starts to not only like her job(minus said jerk) but her co-workers also, and she starts to see kindness behind her boss Dex.When her father's troubles start to blow on not only Ris(Iris) but her brother as well, and a rival MC starts to follow Ris Iris's brother and Dex take it into their hand to keep Iris safe. Now with her brother on the hunt for their dad Iris stays with Dex, and even thought they have found a friendship it's still hard for Iris to rely on everyone when she has been the one who others usually rely on and that it's her father causing so many people problems. The more time Dex and Iris spend together the easier it is to see that not only are Dex and Iris friends but that he trusts her with things no one else knows. When Iris finally realizes she is falling for Dex she is shocked because she never planned it but it becomes harder and harder to deny it. Till one day Dex makes the move himself.Now that Dex and Iris are together Iris couldn't be happier if she had her brother back and her father's problems would stay gone like he always did  everything would be perfect. Then Dex finds out hat Iris has been keeping a secret from him and it shows him more than ever how precious she is to him and how fragile life can be. And then more of Iris's dads problems pile up and Iris may be in more danger than anyone thought. When Dex finds out he is done playing around he will do anything to keep Iris safe she is his and he will do anything to keep her safe and happy by his side.What can I say this book had everything in it to make it a great freaking book. I really really hope that there are more books in this series because I fell in love with so many of the characters not just Iris and Dex(*sigh*). I loved Iris's brother Sonny so much as well as his friend and the guys that Iris works with, I really hope there is more because thinking of saying goodbye to this series/book makes me really sad.Dex oh how I fell in love with him even at the beginning of the book when he was a jerk and yes he was a big fat jerk but even though all of that I still loved him like crazy, and I loved seeing his armor crack and the little things he would do for Iris that showed us that he really truly cared for her, and then when he finds out Iris's secret the vulnerability in him that I saw was beautiful. Iris was a great heroine she had been though so much and had been strong through so much that you couldn't help but like her. I loved reading about her and Sonny's relationship (if we could all be so lucky to have a brother like Sonny).One of the things I loved most was that we see Dex coming to the realization that Iris is special and not just and employee and someone who got the job because her brother was in the same MC as him but a friend and then the see little things he does that show us that she is so much more to him even if he doesn't know it yet or wants to admit it yet. usually I wouldn't like how long it took Iris and Dex to get together but this book was written soooo well that I loved it it added so much to this book and made it even more special because most authors couldn't pull that off without irritating their readers.What I really really didn't expect from this book was how funny it was I was cracking up all over the place and was almost always smiling while I read this book. Iris is hilarious her inner dialogue on it's own makes this book a 5 star read. So with everything else added on I feel so wrong only giving this book 5 stars because it really deserves so many more.
