The only sign that someone else was in her bedroom was the subtle scent of cigars. Quinn used to crinkle up her nose up at the smell but now she craved it. The smell of Liam. She never knew when he would break into her apartment and sit in the chair in the corner of her room. He never touched her or made a sound. Just sitting...watching. And she always pretended to be asleep never letting him know she knew he was there.
She needed to get over her obsession. Because not only was he her best friend Freya's brother he was the heir to their family business. One of the most feared crime families in Chicago.
Liam Olysses grew up in the life of the mafia being trained since childhood to take his father's place when the time came for him to retire from the life of crime, but losing a man never got easier. He was on the cusp of losing his humanity when he first met her. His sister's best friend. Her laughter soothed his soul and she would be horrified if she knew he bypassed the security system Gunner had set up. Like anything would keep him out.
He knew there would never be anything between them even though the more time he spent near her the harder it was to keep from touching. But she wasn't meant for his life and she was never part of the plan mapped out for him. But instead of doing the right thing and walking away he snuck in her bedroom when the pain became too much. Just watching her sleep soothed him.
I loved this story! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This series is a spin-off of the LOCKED SECURITY Series and I highly recommend that you read it first. We first meet Quinn in Freya & Gunner's story and it is an unforgettable occasion! Locked Security centers around Gunner and his security company, but Tainted Kings circles around Freya's brothers and some of the background story travels from series to series.
Quinn wanted to have something to call her own and moved from Ferguson, a small town outside Seattle, to open her own restaurant in San Francisco. Liam is keeping something major from Quinn knowing that she is going to go ballistic when she finds out, but he had no choice...or does he?
This book is action-packed, full of danger and suspense and smoking hot. I love these brothers! They are killers and not to be taken for granted, but they also love their family. Fists will be flying despite their age, pranks will be pulled and they will give each other hell, but they will do anything to protect those they call family.
Love all the interconnecting characters and how each of their stories are pulled together adding another puzzle piece to the underlying storyline. Highly recommend!
