The Rebel

I liked this book and thought it was a solid start to this new series. There is a lot of groundwork laid for the series in this book and that, I felt bogged things down a bit. I enjoyed Marcus and I admired his principles. As for Lily, I thought she was OK but she was so weak that she didn't hold a lot of appeal for me. The storyline was well written and offers a good amount of drama, emotions and tension. All together I thought this was an enjoyable read and I am excited to see what happen in the future books in this series.

Though the story centers around Marcus Salazar and Lily Carrington, it’s also the platform to introduce the readers to the new series and what might be coming up in the future. Marcus is part of the Salazar Media and has come to the retreat/ranch focused on talking to his half-brother Devon . When Devon is stuck in India and can’t get to the ranch, he sends his COO, Lily. While the attraction is evident, she’s with another man . A line Marcus will not cross. In the meantime, Lily, even in a powerful position, seems to constantly yearn for approval. It was interesting to watch these two interact. The story was good and the characters complex. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

The Rebel is the first book in the Dynasties: Mesa Falls series. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline. It gives us a good look into the series. I can't wait to see what happens in book two. Marcus Salazar doesn't do releationships. He definitely doesn't do love. He has no time for either while running the family business on the West Coast. Lily Carrington is a mojor complication he didn't plan on. She not only works for his brother in the East Coast office, but she's also engaged to be married. When she show up in his brother's place at the ranch to help close a deal with the owners, Marcus is not happy. He decides to spend time with her to see if he can find out what his brother has up his sleeve. Will the time they spend together cause Marcus to change his thoughts about love? Or will his father's secrets detroy any idea of what family truly means? I was gifted a copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
