Synopsis
Don’t be fooled.
Don’t make excuses for me.
I am not a good man.
I’ve seen things no one should, done things no one should talk about. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I’ve fought and I’ve survived. I’ve had to.
The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.
I’m here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. She’s disappeared. But don’t worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.
Like I said, don’t be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise… I’m the one front and center.

Review
I love a book about an Anti-Hero, and Nassir Gates from Honor is one of the best. Though I hadn’t read the books from the series this was a spin-off from, and while I probably missed some things, I really didn’t feel like It was necessary.
I liked both Key and Nassir. What I especially liked was how accepting this book was. Key wasn’t afraid to use her sexuality and she wasn’t afraid to demand and then take her place beside Nassir. This book does have a mystery element and is dark. If you like your heroes to be law-abiding citizens this is not the book for you. What I really liked was the backstory of both characters. It helped explain their motivations and without it, I probably would have had a few what the hell moments.
This is not a story of two people falling in love. These two are already in love. Rather, this is a story of two people who are finally ready to admit their love and decide to be together. I really liked this, it was a romance for sure, but it was about being ready. This was a fun book to read and I will certainly pick up others.
