Different. Same. And beautiful complex. 
 The perfect hero has a steady figure, rocking figure and perfectly in sync with the heroine's mental wavelength. He's also just enough dominating always to set the h's undies on fire. In short, he can do no wrong and even when he does it, it is often because the h incites such passionate reactions in him and the h accepts it as her lover's unbreakable love for her. 
 Similarly the hero finds everything that the h does as cute. She is acting like a brat? Cute. She's messing up things or even putting people in trouble? She's cute and the worse punishment possible is a night of naughty spanking 
 Basically, it is all often just plain and simple bullshit. Not that I don't read them and like them but a few books come along the way and change the way you think of romances. 
 That is where Under Locke comes into the picture. Granted Dex is a bad boy (no, really), he has a set of abs and he owns his own tattoo parlour so he isn't living o the streets anytime soon. Butttttt. He is annoying. He has a mean temper and he can be serious jerk at times. It is unforgivable. But he is also the most loyal, caring and loving jerk. 
 Iris is a strong woman. She cries. And no they're not oxymorons. Not crying doesn't mean weakness. She's gone through tough stuff and she continues to strive to be better and stronger than before. She makes stupid decisions and thankfully gets properly scolded but it all makes her that much more relatable. 
 This book isn't as much of a slow burn as Zapata's other books. The leads' physical interactions start fairly early on in the book. And in Zapata's book early means after the middle of the book. Lol! 
 Books such as these don't come around that often. So don't miss out on it. Maybe you wouldn't love it. But it's still going to be reading pleasure of the highest order.
