Review: Not a romance story
Rating: 1 out of 5

(Spoiler Alert) This was not what I expected. I don't need for these types of stories to be all hearts and flowers but it's better if all the players want to play. With the exception of Preston, no one wanted to be there (including me) so it was no surprise to find out the other three characters are thieves and a murderer hiding out there. None of the characters have any redeeming qualities and I found myself just not caring what happened to any of them. The author tried, unsuccessfully, to make the reader believe that these men cared about Lydia and it never came off as believable because of Preston being obsessed with getting revenge towards Lydia, Gabriel being completely indifferent, and Kruin just flat out didn't care. And, even Lydia was faking it just to keep her hiding place (I personally would have chosen prison). And how is it believable that Lydia would steal money from her employer when she came from a wealthy family? I know, she could be greedy but isn't that one of the benefits of being wealthy, the ability to buy your way out of trouble or at least pay the money back. And, if she stole so much money then why didn't she just hide herself?Outside of those major flaws the story had others, the next biggest being the exact same sex scenes with each man repeated every page or two. Even when outside the bedroom there just wasn't much story happening and no character development. I saw at the book's end there is a second part coming out and I can say most assuredly I will not invest in reading that story when even the characters aren't invested. Towards the end felt the like the author stopped caring as well.
