Looking for a heroine you can root for? A hero that sweeps you off your feet? A love story for the ages? If your answers to those questions are yes, yes, YES, don’t read this novella.The main character’s name is Sienna (at least for now it is). She’s everything I wanted Dante Walker (from "The Collector") to be. Like him, her job is to ruin people and where Dante is after souls, she’s after money. She’s part of an elite agency of women that seduces and sleeps with rich men so that their abused, neglected or abandoned wives can catch them in the act of cheating and their prenuptial agreement will be null and void. She’s an arrogant, unapologetic and unflinching chameleon. Which is why she’s the best.The story is told through her perspective and the writing is somewhat detached and methodical but this is by design because it reflects Sienna's personality, her inner monologue. She’s absolutely steadfast in her pursuit of Daniel Silva, her latest Target. Not everything goes to plan along the way but Sienna is such a pro that she's able to remain fully in control of almost every situation, having years of training to prepare her to do so. Oh, and Daniel? Don’t hope that he’s going to become some sort of love interest or that you might feel an iota of pity for him along the way. You won’t. He’s a dirtbag.I almost can’t believe I liked this so much. I’ve tried to read Nicole Williams before ("Crash") and she was a DNF for me. This series looks like it will be different. It’s NEW. As in, I’ve never seen this premise before and I’m really excited to see where she goes with it. I think there could be a special place in my jaded little heart for it providing she doesn't screw it up.That said, this book is NOT for everybody. Some people might hate this character and some might love her. I see very little room for in-betweeners here. But don't worry, you won't hurt Sienna's feelings.
