Aidan 

Surf. 

Fuck. 

Get high. 

Sounds like the perfect day to Aidan Callahan. As second-born son to Chicago’s most influential business owner, Aidan’s life has always been about responsibility. Tradition. Toeing the goddamn line. Just do as you’re told, Aidan. Don’t make waves. 

Well, screw that. Riding waves is way more fun than making them. 

Hawaii is paradise on earth. Smoking hot women. Tiny bikinis. As far as Aidan’s concerned, wild horses couldn’t drag him kicking and screaming back to the windy city. Or at least that’s what he thought. 

When his brother crashes his Mercedes, killing himself on impact, Aidan finds himself next in line to the Callahan fortune and all the ties that come with it. 

And this time there’s no getting out of it. 

Essie 

A warm bed. 

A steady job. 

A brother who loves her. 

For Essie Floyd, life’s been one hard kick in the teeth after another. With her parents both dead, her brother is her only living relative. That is until Vaughn’s truck is written off, his life snatched away by the careless actions of a rich playboy in a flashy sports car. 

Now, the only thing that will bring Essie peace is revenge. She must take what was taken from her. Only when the name Callahan has been wiped from the face of the earth forever will she be able to start living again. 

Of course, the new head of the Callahan Corporation isn’t what she expected. Aidan’s sexy and sad, and just as damaged as she is. Will she be able to distance herself enough to accomplish her goal? 

After all, ruining a man’s really hard when you find yourself falling for him…

Review

In this authors debut book, grief takes an ugly turn into vengeance as Essie loses her only family.  She soon becomes angry.  Anger that is misdirected towards Aidan.  Aidan is as innocent as Essie is in this whole tragic mess that has now become of their lives.  He knows that Essie is up to something but can't figure out what.  Essie is trying to stay on course with her plans but is having a hard time separating the vengeance from the feelings that seem to be quickly growing for Aidan.  What will become of the budding hate-love relationship?
Aidan's character was done well but Essie's character needed a little bit more development.  I can't really pinpoint why, I just couldn't really get into her.  Is that because I am reading a male author maybe, I don't know.
The ending was perfect for this book.  It was a cliff hanger but not the kind that has you want to be throwing something, namely your kindle.  In all, I really enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading the 2nd book from Mr. Cole Saint Jaimes.

I received a complimentary copy of this title for review purposes.
