ARC Review - His Reluctant Savior by Courtney W. Dixon
The District Book 3
This is the 3rd book in the series but the first one I read and even if you would get more out of the story reading them in order. I followed along very well and in regards to Sid and Dalton, we got all the backstory we needed to enjoy the book.
I am a low key lover of the suspense genre and/or the “good guy/bad guy” trope. I have always enjoyed books weaving mystery or crime solving together with romance and spice. And we get this in this book in spades. The fact that Dalton is FBI and Sid is an assassin, chefs kiss!
Sid and Dalton's past makes their quick connection work even if they haven't seen each other in over 20+ years. The small romantic connection they forged one night in High School blossoms into a fullfleged will they or won't they take the opportunity to fall in love. This together with the fact that they are on the run from both the “good guys” and the “bad guys” makes it even more high stakes than usual.
This book series is about morally grey characters that all have a miserable past. But they all also have redeeming qualities that make you root for them. Some themes will be dark so as always reading the triggers beforehand is a good thing.
Sid apprentice Easton is such an interesting character and I am happy he will get his own book.
