When his torturers come back to claim him, he and Morgan are thrown into a pressure cooker of danger and intrigue, and they soon find themselves falling in love. When Morgan is captured, Jack must rescue the woman whose life now means more to him than his own.

My Thoughts

I was really looking forward to this book the cover is gorgeous, the plot sounded interesting but unfortunately I was disappointed; I didn’t like the story at all. The writing is okay, it's well written but I just had a hard time getting into the whole scenario.

It was quite unbelievable and found myself unable to connect with it. Character wise? It did nothing to me, they were bland and no personality what-so-ever! The character relationship wasn't developed, there has no chemistry and I didn't believe the romance at all. The author was trying very hard that at some point it was painful to read and to be honest I just gave up and skimmed the whole book.

I don't know how much more I can explain this without being rude or anything. So I'ma stop now.

Overall, Bad Nights has a lot of potentials- with the seal thingy, suspense and throw a lil romance in it? Sounds like a great book but unfortunately it did nothing for me.

I received this book from SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
