In the Cards (Four Kings Security #4.5) [Ace & Colton] by Charlie Cochet

Though this one is a part of the "Four Kings Security" series (with Ace being our sole POV), it refers to Spencer Morgan and Julian “Quinn” Quintero getting married. Names ring a bell? these two were the MCs in "Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts" a contemporary novella by Charlie. Ace and Quinn are cousins so naturally he, Lucky (also a cousin) and the rest of the "Kings" are invited as are we.

Highly unlikely, yet, it could happen... I didn't connect with this one at all.. For me the first 4 chapters concerning Spencer's disappearance and the reasons behind it were a bit "all over the place". I get it, the big Cuban family, the mothers who need to be more than just informed (or else..) and the general bond of everyone there. It was nice but it was also somewhat exhausting (and OTT). The last chapter, after the "drama" was finally said and done we get not only the wedding but also a sweet and funny surprise from Ace. I wish this novella was more about him and Colton or the couples in general and less about the big family drama. But if that's your "thing" you're going to LOVE this one. I guess I'm more loner by character and dislike big gathering as it is.. So I'm saying it's me.. Give this one a try, it's free and if you've read Spencer and Quinn's book and loved it as much as I did, I know you'll be happy to re-visit them and see where they are now.
