Like all KA characters, Raid and Hanna complimented each other well and it was such a pleasure to read their story.Kristen Ashley (born Kristen A L Moutaw: April 8, 1968) is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than 75 books in 14 languages, with over three million copies sold. However, he pulled all the strings to make up for his outburst. When he loses control, he loses control and I was surprised to see that loss of control turned on Hanna. What really surprised me was that Raid is a little different than most KA alpha male heroes. Like always, there is some shadiness lurking around and Raid is there to find them, capture them, and make them pay. And when reality smacks her in the face and makes her wake up, she starts living a adventurous life which helps Raid start noticing her (unbeknownst to Hanna.) When that moment happens and Raid sets his mind on her, they become so cute that you just want to punch them in the face because you can’t handle the cuteness. I loved that Hanna sits in a coffee shop, waiting for Raid to walk in every day so that he can hopefully notice her. I don’t know how she does it but she sure does it. The men that she brings to life are undeniably sexy. After reading a book that sends me into a depression (because that book is bad), KA is like a Valium I popped and life is all better.
