A bit lighthearted novella about serious issues, political blackmailing with kidnapping.
Since Asher and Jenny have known each other most of their lives, and the attraction, flirting has been going on for years, I can't say that the romance was rushed. It was steamy and passionate, when years of building up emotions finally was freed, out and open.  The physical attraction was obvious, Asher's protectiveness of Jenny rode over all the other commitments in his life.
The suspense was explosive towards the end. And the confrontation chaotic. But what happened to the wounded Titan member, Rocco?
The tune of the story was a bit immature, and I had a couple issues with the plot being believable. It was a novella, with lots of events packed into it, but felt more rushed and light than it needed to be ~ Two big spoons with a teaspoon on the side
