MY REVIEW: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this book. And I wasn’t sure if I thought it was possible for this type of relationship to work in real life. But then again I didn’t know much about this lifestyle.

Xander was first introduced in “Belong To Me” by Shalya Black and made a few appearances in other books.

He was always the billionaire player the one that didn’t want to be held down and liked to have fun.

The other two characters were pretty much unknown.

Javier is really torn up over his wife Francesca death and has been mourning her for a year already. All he does is drink and is letting the family business down. The thing about that is that Francesca was extremely toxic.

Xander is determined to help his brother out this way of living no matter what it takes.

The problem is these brothers don’t get along and are always fighting with one another.

Javier blames Xander for his wife’s because he asked Xander to take her in hand. Javier believed that his brother could have made Francesca change her behavior.

The thing is Xander never liked her and he could see right through her and see how toxic and spoiled she was.

This is one of the things that kind of annoyed me with Javier, he was extremely angry at Xander for not trying to bend Francesca to his will.

Meanwhile Francesca was the one that decided to run off with her lover, which ended in her demise.

The brothers have a lot going on between them that’s unresolved and brewing under the surface.

Now enter London who is as innocent as can be. She was in an accident and has been recovering and trying to get back on her feet for the last ten years.

She is 25 very inexperienced because all of her time was spent recovering and completing school. Now she wants to live her life to the fullest and experience what she can.

She meets the brother and they immediately want her. First she meets Xander and they fool around a bit.

Then she meets Javier and he instantly likes her but is still his mulish self.

It is hard to believe that all of the brothers problems are fixed because one woman comes into their life and they want to change everything.

Javier gives up drinking and Xander gives up being a player and sleeping with anything that walks.

And the brothers relationship starts to mend and they begin working together.

Especially seeing how she didn’t really have any type of experience previously?

And then Xander wanted her and saw her first, but he then decides to offer her up to his brother?

I really like Xander in the other books he was in even though he was a player, this book just put him in the shadow of his brother.

The way he didn’t want to be.

I didn’t love this book, but I didn’t hate it either, there were some good parts too.

Like when the brothers finally reconcile and let go of all the animosity between them. When they decide to help each other rather than hate each other.

London was a good in between for the brothers and I did like that she helped them connect.

But there could have been more with how Javier kicked his habit by himself and how Xander no longer wanted to be a player.

WRAP UP:

All in all this wasn’t a bad book. There were some missing parts that could have added to the book that could have made it better.

But Xander was a character that I really wanted to get his story but I wasn’t blown away by it. And I really wanted Xander to have his own woman to put him in his place.

This didn’t really make me a fan of this type of book.

WOULD I RECOMMEND:

I did love seeing Xander and Javier find a way to mend their relationship and become the brothers they should be.

There are certain parts that are unbelievable to me which did throw me off a bit. But there were good parts that I enjoyed.
