Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

In this book, we meet Rory, the older brother of Jax (the main character in the first book in the series). Rory is involved with the mafia and sent the love of his life away 10 years earlier to keep her safe.

However, Layla returns to Riverside after her dad dies and works in one of Rory’s clubs as a waitress. She is keen to remain under the radar after escaping Damien with her young daughter. What will happen once Rory finds out?

What I liked about the book:

It was nice to read how this mafia strong man had a soft side. This already showed itself in the first book, but was even more obvious in this book.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Like in the first book, there were several grammatical errors and duplication or missing of words making it difficult to read at times. This did not in the slightest take away from the storytelling and I kept turning the pages to find out what would happen next.

My favourite bits in the book:

Where Rory finds out Bella is his daughter.

My least favourite bits in the book:

Only the fact the book needs some further editing. It’s a great book nonetheless.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the second book in this series and I suspect there will be more to follow.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Several books share the same ‘one chapter per viewpoint’ characteristic.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children	No
Young Adult	Possibly
Adult	Yes

 

If you like romance this book may be the book for you.

 

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Protecting His Night: The Men of River City book 2

Rory

The moment I saw her in my best friend's kitchen, I knew I was done. She was it. She was everything. But I am not a good person. I was never going to be the man she deserved. When she was sent away, I let her go.

Ten years later, she's back. Except this time one thing is perfectly clear. I won't let her go again.

 

Layla

He was my first...everything. I will never love anyone the way I love him. But he watched me go ten years ago. He thought it was best for me. I didn't get a choice.

He never tried to find me after I was gone. It doesn't matter how much I still love him because after he abandoned me when I needed him most, I can never trust him again.

 

Intended for mature readers only due to violence and explicit situations.
