Trouble - Colet Abedi

Trouble by Colet Abedi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was pretty much hooked on this book from the moment I started it. I've had a bit of a bad run of books lately, so it was good to get one that I couldn't put down.
I was a bit worried that this was going to be one of those books where the hero is completely overbearing and controlling. He does have his moments, but in many ways, the hero and heroine were fairly well matched. Ian and Kerri have that obsessive instant attraction that in real life wouldn't probably bode well for a long term relationship, but works so well in romance novels. They also have that oh so important reason to not be together. A past that Kerri knows nothing about, but that has been Ian's whole life for many years.
I've discovered since finishing the book and having a nose around on Goodreads that although this is a standalone novel, it is linked to at least one other book from Colet Abedi. The characters and relationship in her Wild Duet Boxset feature at least in passing. I'm not sure if any of the other characters that we come across also appear in other stories (or perhaps in the case of brother Colt, will do). It doesn't matter if, like me, you haven't read any previous books, as this works fine in its own right.
I liked Ian and Kerri and enjoyed reading about their relationship. It is fairly clear where it's going to go. There's no way with their situation that there can't be an explosion at some point and this is a romance, so of course, it has to all work out in the end. I really enjoyed the story and would be keen to read more from Abedi.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
