My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Mine: Bloody Business is the prequel to this great series. If you have read the rest of the series you would have been introduced to Bev and Remy and their somewhat complicated relationship. Both characters fit so well together but boy are the stubborn and definitely take the long way around when it comes to their relationship.
We get a glimpse into what they were like as children then older as they navigate their feelings for each other, whether it be frustration, sometimes hatred and developing into something more. It does seem to take Bev a little while longer to realise her feelings for Remy and how that turns out is quite heart-breaking, especially when Remy is forced to choose someone else (and not a nice someone else!)
We see how both Bev and Remy sneak away to be with each other and how that hurts them both at different times and the sacrifices that Remy needs to make in order to not only keep Bev safe but also to cement his position in his dark world. There are some very sexy scenes between the two as well as some real heart-breaking moments when we see the relationship through Bev’s eyes, but there are also some times where Remy comes across as really selfish, especially when he doesn’t tell Bev about his engagement and subsequent marriage.
The one thing that was really enjoyable about this story was getting to see previous characters as younger versions of themselves and how their relationships were built. I also loved the snarkiness that Bev has with her twin….priceless! The story certainly makes you see all characters in a different light and gives and explanation to why they are the way they are in the following books.
If you like your books complex, emotionally charged and steam then A.J. Wolf is the one for you!
