She was the daughter of a serial killer and she was living in his house...After years of searching war torn Afghanistan for his MIA brother, Vincenzo Barretti has finally come home and now he's ready to settle back into life as co-founder of Barretti Security Group. But his home is no longer cold and empty the way he likes it.Mia Hamilton needs a quiet place to hide from the press to try to rebuild her life. Being the daughter of a notorious serial killer is bad enough, but being the one who killed him has made her a target for every news agency in the world. She wants nothing more than to be left alone, but the reporters are relentless and will stop at nothing to get their story. With no place to go, she accepts an offer from Dominic Barretti to stay at his older brother's home until she can figure out what to do next. But she didn't expect the homeowner to return so soon or to feel something she's never felt when he's around.Vin doesn't need or want a woman in his life and certainly not one that comes with so much baggage. So what if Mia evokes feelings in him he thought were long dead? She's a liability and he wants her gone. But forcing the quiet, strong-willed young woman from his life turns out to be a lot harder than he thought...… (altro)

Vin and Mia

A great story of love and redemption. Two people who are so damaged they don’t believe they deserve love find each other. ( )
  Jenx9000 | May 9, 2020 |
So I've been in a crazy-long book slump lately. I've tried switching up genres, trying new-to-me writers, re-reading old favorites, you name it. Finally, beyond frustrated, I opened up [b:Loving Vin|26253286|Loving Vin (Barretti Security Series, #1)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1442426962s/26253286.jpg|46250106], a recent Kindle freebie, and book one in [a:Sloane Kennedy|13565650|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1469034883p2/13565650.jpg]'s latest series, Barretti Securities. I already had book two, [b:Redeeming Rafe|26147722|Redeeming Rafe (Barretti Security Series, #2)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1441310918s/26147722.jpg|46102629],unread, in my Kindle Unlimited library so I figured, what the hell. And I discovered that I really liked [a:Sloane Kennedy|13565650|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1469034883p2/13565650.jpg]'s writing. So much so, that in 24 hours I have flown through three of her books.

That, though, might be why I had not tried her stuff before. See, I don't typically like the shorter books/longer novellas. At around 200 pages, [b:Loving Vin|26253286|Loving Vin (Barretti Security Series, #1)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1442426962s/26253286.jpg|46250106] was okay, but knowing [b:Redeeming Rafe|26147722|Redeeming Rafe (Barretti Security Series, #2)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1441310918s/26147722.jpg|46102629] was only around 150, (as were so many of her other books I browsed) I wasn't sure I wanted to bother starting a series that consisted of such short reads. But I think shorter reads was just what my book slump needed and I lucked out big time when I discovered how much goodness Sloane Kennedy can pack in such a small package.

Because let me tell you, I do not remember the last time I encountered two characters who had such explosive chemistry. I got tingles in oh, so many nice places every time Vin's POV rolled around. I love a good age-difference story and I'm a sucker for a super-protective Alpha protecting a traumatized h (especially if the h can come off as being fragile but strong at the same time, no doormats, please). I also love those heroes who melt for babies, or, in this case, abused animals. The description of the first time Vin saw a pig playing in his backyard made me giggle. And the cockatoo who kept calling him "Asshole?" Priceless.

There is a tiny bit of intrigue, about as much as you can get in such a short book, but what made it work was the fact that the writer was not trying to get a full John Grisham novel's worth of action into her book. The story is about the characters, not so much the conflict going on in the background.

All in all, giving me a free book had the seller's desired outcome. After I finished [b:Loving Vin|26253286|Loving Vin (Barretti Security Series, #1)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1442426962s/26253286.jpg|46250106] I went on to read [b:Redeeming Rafe|26147722|Redeeming Rafe (Barretti Security Series, #2)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1441310918s/26147722.jpg|46102629], and I just finished [b:Finding Trust|25978624|Finding Trust (Finding Series, #2)|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1439249002s/25978624.jpg|45888569]. Next up for me is [b:Letting Go|25282746|Letting Go|Sloane Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1428104495s/25282746.jpg|44743831]. And happily for me, it looks like most, if not all, of Kennedy's books are available on Kindle Unlimited.
