Finnian “Apollo” Reins met Dru Noel Rossi at his lowest.
She was a bright ray of sunshine in his darkest, cloudiest night.
He had no clue that he needed her. He was just struggling to keep his head above water, going from day to day, waiting for it to be his time to go.
But then she catches his eye in the swankiest restaurant in Washington DC. She’s wearing all black and sticks out like a sore thumb among the elitists’ otherwise dressiest affairs. She may have been severely underdressed, but that didn’t stop Finnian from following her every move and becoming obsessed.
So of course, when she leaves, he follows her. And wouldn’t you know it, she goes right back to his hometown.
But that’s not the first coincidence between the otherwise complete opposites. It’s just a long line of chance encounters that force them together, time and time again, and show them what they’re missing.
She’s the sweetest thing he’s ever met, and understandably, is hesitant to get anywhere near a Truth Teller like him.
The Truth Tellers MC got their hard, terrifying reputations for a reason.But Finnian wears her down with his charm, while showing her what it’s like to be with someone that won’t hesitate to take out the entire world as long as it makes her smile.
He has to have her in his life, and he’ll do just about anything to make that happen. A little light stalking, financial blackmail and forced proximity never hurt anybody.
Lani Lynn Vale always wraps her characters around my heart very quickly! Apollo has been a character that I’ve been drawn to throughout this whole Content Advisory series because of things we’ve seen happen to him from other people’s perspective, so I was really happy to see him finally get his turn at that happily ever after. Dru is absolutely perfect for him and their intro was spectacular. I was invested in them from the start and enjoyed their story throughout. Their backgrounds were both fairly well developed and there was only a spot or two here or there that I would have liked to know what happened with a tidbit here or there that left a small hole. Overall, very intriguing and satisfying! I’m going to be sorry to see this series end for sure after the next book. Great characters, very interesting plot and lots of steam, passion and love to sink your teeth into. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit group of friends who love hard and always put out a helping hand. Watching them all find their love connection has been really heartwarming.
