  REVIEW Believe a book by its cover, this is a hot, fast paced gripping read. Yep, hot man on the cover, an enticing plot, I got hooked on and I'm glad I took the bait. I haven't read previous books but wish I had prior to this book, I know through reading this something happens to a character in the previous book so I don't think I could go back in the series now knowing that. This could in theory be read as a standalone but I would advise starting from the beginning. I did feel I had started this book half way through something because of references to previous events but I quickly picked up the story as the main focus was on Hadley and Sean. A few things had me lost not knowing who was who and what the organisations were, I recommend reading the glossary at the beginning of the book for the Italian references, something I had to look back on. Hadley and Sean's first encounter seemed like a chance meeting? Sean getting away from it all, seeking solace by a river, grieving, when he is aproached by Hadley in concern, well after she propositions him for $20. Hadley is a women with backbone a strong character a daughter of some sort of Mafia family leader so she doesn't have chance meetings, she is a soldier doing her father's bidding in an army she no longer wants to be a part of. Sean, a 17 year old boy? let me tell you Sean does not act,speak or do any other practice like a 17 year old boy, he is all man and I struggled to believe that was his age with his character that boyman is hot!. After the dust settles has an intense plot with danger,bloodshed and a Romeo and Juliette feel. Great writing told in dual pov's, I read in one sitting, I was so gripped wanting to know how everything would pan out. My first book by this author and looking forward to more in this series. Arc gratefully received for review Bbbf-sizzlereads-bestbookboyfriends & L.A.B.B  SYNOPSIS Sean I’m not your average seventeen-year-old boy. What other teenage boy do you know of, is working alongside their father in a top-secret government agency, and has been since they were fifteen? Unheard of? Yes probably. After spending years searching for my place in this world, I jumped at the opportunity to help my father. What I didn’t expect was the possibility that our work could flow over and harm our family. Yet that’s exactly what happened……. I thought I’d found, and then lost the girl who would forever hold my heart – until a sexy ass stranger crossed my path under the Brooklyn Bridge. I want this girl, like I’ve never wanted anyone. She makes me feel things that I should feel guilty about, that I shouldn’t be needing as desperately as I do. Only there’s a catch …………. She has secrets, ones that could have a devastating impact. Hadley He was supposed to be a job. A target that needed to be eliminated. A message that we weren’t a family to mess with. When my chance came, I couldn’t do it. There was a presence about him that drew me in. I went from wanting to kill him, to wanting him in my arms. From that moment on he became my obsession…. I’m no good for him, which is why I should stay away from him. I will only destroy him because I’m broken, a girl with a dark past - the daughter of an Italian mobster. Our family is one of the largest in Brooklyn. I need to escape my father, and this life. I need someone to swoop in and save me, but I’m scared because bad things happen to me – and the people I love.
