Maestro knows what Betrayal is, how it destroys a soul and makes you bitter and judgmental… he has no issue gaining the trust and delivering vigilanteMaestro knows what Betrayal is, how it destroys a soul and makes you bitter and judgmental… he has no issue gaining the trust and delivering vigilante karma as betrayal to those who are guilty, to save those being harmed…but this time is different, how does he move forward with a mark who he discovers is not only innocent and knows betrayal herself? How can he change course and still not betray those he's trying to save and stay loyal to those he owes his life.
I love titles that fit the story, it fits a few definitions! Maestro and Azelie’s journey reveals so much of what they have been through, what they chose and how it affects them to this day. Redemption, acceptance, belonging are amazing gifts if you’re able to accept them. To find and accept, to give, loyalty when it’s failed you so many times…This is a story where you love the romance that develops while following these two characters as they overcome the internal obstacles from troubled pasts and insecurities on their way to reaching their happily ever after, not to mention the external threat to them!
Although, I didn’t see growth in TI as a whole, in fact, some seem stagnant or to slide backwards from previous books, I love how some in his TI family show him the way, they don’t judge for his past errors, poor advice and judgment on love. But guide him with support… Alena giving him permission to find a way to be his best, a better man, the way Azelie inspires him to become. Keys sees him, lets him know he deserves this understanding and acceptance in his life, this person to love, and Savage to use as much honesty and communication as he can, don’t let a perfect fit slip away with deception. With his family and team he holds to his tactics but expands his motive to keeping her safe. It’s impressive to see and as a reader my annoyance at these manipulative tactics switched to anxiety and hope for him…masterful storytelling.
As danger from the external conflicts grow, Maestro knows he’ll have to take that full leap to disclose all he needs from her, full honesty and communication… face his deepest fear that she’ll think he’s betrayed her, used her and she’ll betrayal him. He has to have faith in her loyalty and his club’s ability to protect her.
Azelie’s story is heartbreaking and impressive, she’s someone I’d want as a friend! I love how these two characters reflect each other yet also contrast. Just what is needed for an amazing journey to love. She is someone who lifts others up even while facing her own storms. Her determination to protect him and so many from the danger she’s found herself in, yet being open to giving her trust and loyalty to him. Her found family, who give her support and wisdom too. The merry widows and their gentlemen are a great addition to give levity and advance the story and character growth.
With every TI book there’s amazing steamy physical connections, emotional roller-coaster, edge of your seat plot, and hold your breath action…this time I’m throwing in a jaw dropping twist. Woven together in an amazing heartfelt wonderful addition to the series!...more
