REVIEW:
Alright, so I will admit that I haven't read any of the Blackbird series before and I probably would have enjoyed Alicia even more than I already did if I had(and I'll certainly read the rest of the books). That being said we got small explanations for things throughout so it wasn't as if I was completely lost.
I admit that I did not enjoy the writing style, I'm not sure why, it just didn't appeal to me, but that's nothing against Dahlia Donovan as I really enjoyed the characters and plot! The plot was one that moved along at a steady pace and the characters and their relationships with each other never failed to make me laugh and feel like they were more a family then anything else. It was amusing to see their banter back and forth.
Everything went crazy about halfway through Alicia. The plot sped up and definitely grew even more intriguing then it already was.
The end of Alicia sets up the next book in the series.
Alicia was a great read, and I look forward to seeing more in this series!

“Such a naughty, teasing kitten.” Josh resisted the
temptation to allow his hands to drift from her hips to grip her arse
firmly. He sensed Alicia wasn’t quite
ready for anything other than a little lark to lift the oppressive sadness
which lingered under the surface. “Going to play tour guide for me since the
others have swanned off to entertain the whinging bint?”

“Sure.” Alicia eased into a pair of heels no one should’ve

“Not a bloody chance.” Josh trailed behind her, making sure
the balcony doors were locked and the cameras working before securing the front
door to the suite. “You can never get enough of a beautiful piece of art.”

door to the suite. “You can never get enough of a beautiful piece of art.”
“Art?” Alicia’s laugh was like a sweet melody which
resonated deeply in his soul and his
groin. Her gaze flitted down his front
to the bulge in his trousers. “Honestly? How do you men walk around with it
swinging out of control?”
