From our Beta readers:
This Adult Thriller-Romance, with shades of a psychological thriller, has plenty of shocking plot twists that take your breath away. My Favorite character is Boots. I wish I were as badass as Boots, seriously, what an influential MC. What a great backdrop for the narrative. I love K9-Missy.
I was engaged from page one - organized crime, represented like an expert. Kudos!
