This book is probably much better if you have read the previous books in the WaterFyre Rising series since this is the sixth book. The story between Orion and Elena is great but there is a lot of other things that were discussed in previous books that just confuses the reader. Orion is a very wealthy businessman who has issues with anxiety. Elena is a news reporter who works extremely hard at several jobs trying to repay this enormous loan that her father took out with a loan shark. Although these two had seen each other previously and were intrigued they met by accident. Orion hires Elena to work for him. Orion has been trained to be a skilled thief and his mentor has died and Orion would like to know who killed him. I enjoyed the story between Orion and Elena because they just seemed to be a perfect match for each other. Orion was generous, driven and determined. Elena was smart, strong and very helpful. However this story has so much going on that many times I became confused. This book has tons of mysteries, secrets and surprises. I think I would appreciate this book more if I had read the previous books in this series.
