My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Remington
is book one in The Theriot Family series by Silvia Violet and it is a little
hottie. The story looks at the budding romance of Remington Theriot and Henri.
Remington is in a jam one night and needs the assistance of Henri, who is
working on the street to make ends meet. For Remington, it is instant
attraction and he wants to repay Henri for his assistance by keeping him for a
short amount of time, offering him protection and money he needs to start
fresh. Remi is part of an old family in New Orleans and all of their deals aren’t
always above board, this is where the action comes in as both Remi and Henri
skate their attraction and Remi tries to keep Henri from the seedier side of
his life…only complicating things further by doing so.
This M/M
mafia romance was a quick read for me, and it had all of the feels. Remi’s
position in the family is that of older brother, protector of his family and
the one who is going to step up when his father steps down. His life is a
precarious balancing act and Henri (in the best way possible), seems to upset
that and makes Remi think about the future.
Henri’s
story is heart-breaking, we see his vulnerability as well as him wanting his
own ‘happily ever after’. I enjoyed the interplay between himself and Remi and from
the get-go, they were just a sweet and sexy couple to read about. I also
enjoyed the scenes where the characters were walking around New Orleans as it
brought some great memories back for me and just made the story that little bit
more enchanting.
Overall, this was a sweet read with a HEA and some steamy scenes.
