A tale of two parts

Throughout the first part of this book I kept wondering whether to bother finishing it. I had enjoyed the previous books in this series, liking the main characters, rooting for them to overcome the hurts of their pasts and the obstacles they were currently faced with. This one? Not so much. Kass - A.K.A. Ice - was cold, obnoxious, dictatorial, and not at all someone I wanted to spend time with, especially without the leavening presence of his brothers and their wives.

It took a long time for the ice to crack and for shadows of the real person to emerge. From that point the plot went racing along with dangers and set-backs, treachery and traps galore. When Kass’s back story is finally revealed, it proves as shocking as those of his brothers. It explains how and why he became the man he was, even as he is learning to be the man he should have been.

This fifth book in the Alpha Heroes series wraps up the stories of the five surviving Battle Brothers and their mysterious nemesis Zero Tango. The series is now continuing with Sebastian, friend, ally, and now employee.

We get to know much more about the personality hidden behind the public persona as he struggles with the dangers surrounding the enigmatic Marisol.

I described the first book in this series as ‘Excellent’ and I think this is even better in its emotional depths and nail biting threats.… (más)
