FBI agent, Liam Hughes is devastated when his beloved grandfather dies and then stunned to find his grandfather has left him a fortune - the kind of fortune gives him the title of billionaire. But then mob enforcer and kind of friend, kind of stalker, Hopper gets involved and Liam's life goes to hell.

This is the fourth book in the Mobsters + Billionaires series and features a brief crossover character appearance of Anders Bash and Omar from Kelly Fox's Wrecked Guardians series. Although you'll need to read #1-3 to get the full backstory of the supporting cast, this was relatively standalone, particularly if you're somewhat familiar with Fox's worlds.

I'm on a roll here. This is the second Kelly Fox book I've actually liked. Although perhaps not that unexpected - Anders Bash was awesome and Hopper is a similar sort of character.

I loved this. Hopper was adorable. He was kind hearted and thoughtful and so utterly clueless and I loved it. I didn't like Liam much to start with (he was mean to Hop and it was horrible) but he grew on me. I mean it was somewhat understandable why he was angry and mean but he was still an ass. He did kind of make up for it though with his determination to be nice and good and kind to Hopper. Taking him to swim in the ocean so he could maybe see his favourite animal - a blue whale - was a pretty good apology. Although I think I would've appreciated it more if he said the words at the start before anything else happened. I mean he knew he stuffed up and he felt bad but then he kind of just lets it go and I felt that sort of let it down.

I was happy that he did get to see a blue whale though. And it was pretty funny how the guide is just like I hope you weren't going to stab the shark and he's like uh yeah of course not. Hopper was just so nice and I wanted all his dreams to come true.

In regards to his feelings for Liam, Hopper was just all in and it was hilarious and swoony and awesome. The chemistry between them was explosive and the plot was action packed. I can't say I really liked the gunplay scenes but it definitely fit the characters. And I adored the fact that Hopper scared the crap out of Connor (Liam's grandfather) by breaking in but then he introduced himself and they talked and Connor gave him a key to the roof and a made him promise not to enter by jumping through the window but by entering slowly so as not to scare him. It was fkn hilarious and I only wish those scenes were included because I bet it would've been epic.

As far as the plot, it was full on - there was mystery and threats and killings and I was rating it. Definitely a fun read if you enjoy morally dubious characters and a love story with murder. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars for enjoyment. ( )
