I actually find the story a bit odd yet very endearing. Odd because Sonny's supposed "recluse artist" persona contradicts his actions in the book. He's not withdrawn, he's quite socially functional and he's got a smart mouth which was pretty funny. 
 There was also the twist that was so out of nowhere I felt that the back-story wasn't enough to support the whole premise. See, before our couple met, Luki was (supposedly) already under surveillance from his somehow very devious and smart half-brother Mariano Royce who's already surmising that Luki will end up with Sonny James. Assuming much? Coincidence? Nah. That was just one of the weakest parts in the story. 
 I am however very much in love with the great chemistry between Luki and Sonny. The story telling was shaky but our couple is solid enough to merit this first book in the series 4-stars rating. 
 Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
