Stoni Alexander - Wrecked review

I was excited to get Hawk's story! He has seemed like such a chill guy, but there is definitely more to him. Sure, he's cool about things, but life hasn't been easy for him. And I enjoyed the fact that the reader knows there is something there, but we don't get that story right away either. Hawk and Addison have worked together and make a great team. But things shift between these friends and things soon heat up between them! This book was extra spicy, but I love a good friends to lovers story. The passion feels believable and palpable through the pages! There is danger lurking around them so it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I figured out some things going on in this book, but some took me by surprise. I was completely lost in Addison and Hawk's world and I didn't want to leave! Highly recommend this book!

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

I’m a wrecked man with a tortured soul.

I hide my pain and anger behind an easygoing smile and my willingness to do whatever close friends and family need. Day or night, I’m their go-to guy.

But hey, baby, I’m no bleeding heart. I’m an assassin, first and foremost. I locate, isolate, and annihilate. It’s not personal, it’s my job. And I do it damn well.

Speaking of doing it well… the ladies love me. And I let ‘em, every chance I get. They come and they go, but there’s one woman who’s been a constant for a long time. She’s cool under fire, a total badass, and someone I trust with my life. Sure, she’s strikingly beautiful and super smart, but we’re just friends, babe.

Just. Friends.

When someone close to me confides he’s got a past with her, I go a little crazy. To prove a point, she crosses a line. Now, I got a whole different set of problems.

Then, her life goes sideways and she’s assigned a protector.

Me.

We’re together all the damn time, and she’s got a wild streak that just won’t quit.

Lucky me.

Until our luck runs out and we come face-to-face with the grim reaper. A long time ago, we made a pact to face death together. Either we come out of this alive or we die in an effin’ blaze of glory.

Turns out, she’s my destiny.

She’s also my salvation.

WRECKED can be read as a standalone, but Stoni recommends reading DAMAGED, VENGEANCE, and SAVAGE first since characters repeat across stories.
