 Goodness two top-notch books this week. Sebring is an awesome read in a way that is totally different to Emma Chase's new release. It's dark and emotionally a lot more heart wrenching. 
 Premise: 
 Nick Sebing seeks vengence for the death of his girlfriend, an undercover fed agent who was killed at the order of crime boss Vincent Shade. Nick sets up a situation so he could meet Olivia Shade, one of Vincent's daughter. He's willing to do anything to get his vengence. Olivia is a girl in a gilded cage, forced to do her father's bidding. She learned the hard way not to get emotionally involved. Despite this when the two meets she begins to hope... 
 Thoughts : 
 The unfinished heros series have not been my favourite out of all of KA's work, so I was surprised by how satisfying this read was. It was refreshing, the pacing and the way the story unfolded. Those of you who read her work knows that the heroine usually end up in some kind of danger at the end and in this case that wasn't how the story cumulates to its breaking point. 
 I loved how KA gave us bits and pieces of Olivia's sad backstory. She is a master story teller who can impart it without telling it all from our heroine's perspective. Instead through little comments and dialogue here and there we find clues and we finally get the story. It didn't feel like it was done slowly in a way to on purposedly tease the readers (sometimes broken up flashback drives me nuts - if you are going to flashback to a different time do you not do it all at once?). We also get a lot of the story from Nick's POV and all of it good. 
 Those who are allergic to a**hole heros I will warn Nick does treat a female employee whom he had previously had sex with before meeting Olivia (and before the start of the story) in a way that could definitely have been better. Aside from that, he really had no issues. On the whole Nick is likeable. I like hearing his backstory. I didn't read Knight where Nick first made an appearance (couldn't handle the whole "daddy" thing) so he didn't have much to redeem in my eyes but I understand that he grew up. 
 The way Olivia starts to unfold her locked away self was also totally believable. It was lovely watching her change. 
 I did find this book more graphic in the violence than most (including the Chaos series). A lot of the other books had violence that had happen off-page. This one we get more of it happening in detail and on page.
