4.5 Kevin StarsOkay, I took longer than I should to get back to this and why? Why did I do that? I'm kicking myself for putting it on the back burner. Out of both books so far in the series, this is by far my favorite. I loved it.Why not a full 5 star? It would have been but something in the twist didn't pan out for me in a believable way. Otherwise, it was exactly what I wanted in a story.Before reading this book, it's imperative, that you read No One's Angel. There's information and characters that cross into this book. It can be confusing. Even though I've read book one, its been almost a year, and even I had a hard time remembering parts and characters from the first book.Kevin and Lexi are introduced to us in No One's Angel. However, it's this this second book that we really get to know and fall in love with them.Once I picked this book up to finish it, I couldn't put it down. I was so glued to the story and loving how it unfolded. It's not a typical New Adult, college, love story. This books layers were constructed in such an awesome way.We had crime reaching across the pages frombook one. A bodyguard love story. A girl in college that doesn't live out the typical college dream she had hoped. Nor does she live out the same old same old college story line I'm used to. Heck, she doesn't even go to college for the old generic degrees. Nope, she goes for one I've never read about and one that plays out in the forefront of this story, a lot. It was very clever and I learned something new from it. And lastly, I loved the different spin on the pain that Kevin holds deep in his heart for why he can't fail or fall in love.I really like Lexi, when she wasn't making stupid decisions. She was a lot smarter and braver then everyone around her gave her credit for. When she hurt, I hurt too. I felt her pain. But she bounces back quickly because she knows she needs to and she always looked for the silver lining.What I absolutely Loved:1. Dual POV2. Kevin3. Lexi4. This story had humor & fun banter.5. Axel and Angel (Tess) making appearances.6. A bit of mystery and crime tied in.7. Plot Twists & how everyone/thing ties in.8. Easy to read in one day.9. The story kept me glued to it and loving it. It kept me guessing and on my toes.10. Lexi's degree and how it ties into the plot and main forefront of the story.My only issue:1. What's the deal with the random phone call to Kevin from an ex-military buddy? I hope we find out in book 3.Speaking of book 3, I can't wait to see what's next by the to-be-continue we were left with. What a way to leave us at the end!! That's one big secret waiting to unfold.
