More knocking authors off my to-binge list (or at least nearing the end of this author's list). Here's Nora Phoenix's The Foster Brothers series. The fourth novel is "Nicked: Nordin."
["The stupidest thing a con artist can ever do is fall for the man who’s trying to catch him…
Nordin likes to think of himself as a modern-day Robin Hood, redistributing the wealth from those who don’t deserve it to those who do. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it makes good use of his talents and gifts.
Unfortunately, not everyone sees it like that, including FBI agent Tavin Donley. He calls Nordin a con artist, which is, like, such a rude term. Worse, he’s determined to catch Nordin.
That in itself is already a problem, but much worse is the fact that the chemistry between them is explosive. It always has been. And even though they’re adversaries, they can’t keep their hands off each other.
But when fire burns that hot, someone will get burned…"]
My heart was already breaking for Nordin in the previous book, describing his (romantic) predicament as "It feels like I'm being ripped apart, and I don't know what to do."
This was love at first sight...10+ years prior to when either were in a place where anything could actually happen. And in that 10+ years, things only grew more and more complicated for them. Yeah, you remember that thing about Nora and angst I said yesterday? She killed me with this one. The mutual pining and continual heartbreak and the Romeo and Juliet thing? Hell, t took me 3x as long to read this to give myself breaks and to remind myself to breath. Worth. It. ;)
Trigger Warnings: foster care, child neglect, child abuse, sexual abuse of minors (off page), death of a parent, mild on-page violence, and more
