You have to sell it to your readers, and there was none of that. Just because an author tells us something, doesn’t make it true or believable. Ava is described as a genius, but I saw no signs of that. Pretty isn’t enough to write a trilogy on. Other than being “pretty,” the author gave her nothing to build on. She did nothing, went nowhere, and honestly, she bored me to tears. She had 1 friend, that’s it, and she didn’t even like that friend. Ava is so bland and boring, I couldn’t tell you a single interest of hers. You know those books where the characters have very little dimension, yet the other characters look at them like the sun shines out their a$$? That was Ava.

Nothing is easy and there will be battles but the ending is perfect and it is the closure needed for the Luciano’s to be happy. All the guys need to work together to help Ava and put their plans in place to the next steps on the family business. The thing is, will Ava be enough to become the Queen to stand alongside the Kings? Nico has to step up in so many ways with the family business that he has to hope things will change after that massive cliffhanger in Boardwalk Queen. The fire between these two is burning so hot you know that once he lets the walls down it will rain all sorts of fire and brimstone. She went from college graduate to working alongside Dante. If you are looking for that review that spoils the first two books so this is the only one you have to read, move along, you won’t find that here.Īva has accepted so many changes to her life since the Luciano brothers drove in and changed her path. I am going to tread lightly on this as I truly want you to start with the first book, Boardwalk Kings, and refuse to give anything away in regards to spoilers if I can. FINALLY!!! I have been not so patiently waiting for the conclusion of Ava and the Luciano brothers and this was perfect.
