Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. Named by the social worker who found her when she was a mere child roaming that city's streets, Eve lives for her job. In over ten years on the force, she's seen it all - and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going against every warning telling her not to trust the charismatic Irish billionaire, Roarke - a suspect in her latest murder investigation.

But sometimes you have to make your own rules, and Eve must decide whether to take a chance on a man she knows nothing about...

I decided to take a break from my ARCs and give this one a go. 📚 Everyone always seems to rave about it so I figured I'd see what all the fuss was about. 🙏 Unfortunately, I wasn't as enamored by it. 🙈 One, I need to do a better job of reading synopses. Or in this case, reading it at all. Had I done that I would have cottoned on to the fact that the author set this series in the future. 🚀 So right off the bat I was MEH about the setting. 🙍 That was strike one. Second, I couldn't stand Eve. I found her cold, bitchy, and annoying. 😒 I will assume she gets better in the 40+ other books she is featured in. So I may give book two a read just to see. That was strike two. ❎ Strike three came with that ending. Holy abruptness Batman. It just ENDED. 💯🔚 Like WTF?? 😣

So ya, this one wasn't overly great for me. 😫 Like I said I'll probably give book two a read at some point just to see if Eve ever actually becomes likable. But I don't see myself intrigued enough to read 40+ books with these characters.⏰
