Creed

It should have been called Sylvie. It didn't read very antihero-y. The sex was.....regular. That being said I didn't hate it. It just wasn't what I expected.

I read/listened to [b:Knight 18806659 Knight (Unfinished Hero, #1) Kristen Ashley https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1384508571s/18806659.jpg 19143978] and I jumped into this one hoping to get more of Anya & Knight. And there is. Mostly of Knight and we get more of an insight into him via his relationship with Sylvie but the story is about Sylvie & Tucker and later Sylvie & Creed. You'll figure it out. LOLWe are once again in KA world where men are protectors and make no bones about it. The difference is that here the heroine doesn't need taking care of because she kicks-ass and takes names later so Sylvie & Creed have some tussles about it but that's not the story. The story is basically what would have happened if Romeo & Juliet hadn't died but been separated by the evil schemes of their parents and reconnected years laters when life had made them shed the softness of their youth for a hard protective shell and mad action hero skills. The story is told in alternating chapters between the present and the past and once they reconnect in the present there isn't much external conflict. Rather the story is about the rekindling of the love they had, coming to terms with what happened and who they became because of it and becoming part of each other's lives in the present. Of course they have hot sex. Lots. As therapy of course. LOLI liked it. Who wouldn't love a dude like Creed totally devoted to you. He's a KC hero so of course he is awesome. He does and says all the right things, in this case a little more verbal than Knight, perhaps a little too perfect for me. As my love for Knight attests I like my rough edged guys. But it works. A little slice of fantasy where the good guys get their piece of hard won and well deserved heaven in the end.There is an epilogue which kind of goes on forever and is every kind of cotton candy with sugar on top but you can't blame KA for wanting to give Creed & Sylvie some much happiness after having been so royally screwed. Plus we get another glimpse of Knight & Anya and that made me smile. Huge.

My least favorite to date in the Unfinished Heroes series. The things that happened to Creed/Sylvie was just to over the top ridiculous to be believable, plus Creed didn't come across as the brightest bulb...
