One of the male MC's is extremely complicated- well, that's quite the understatement. The characters are beginning to be fleshed out, and there is also room to keep developing them and their relationships with each other. Yes, this is the first book in the series so there has to be a lot of the story dedicated to world building, but she doesn't forget the character building. Her world building is fascinating and unique. What I like about this book (an a lot of her writing) is that yes, this is a M/M book, but that is only a bit of background between the actual story and the story arc. I really need to go back and look at her library and at my ratings, but she definitely impresses me. I'm beginning to realize that I seem to like most everything that Ariana Nash writes. Something wicked is stalking London's streets, and if Dom doesn't stop it, its shadows will rise and consume them all. Because there are worse things in London than a conflicted billionaire and a trigger-happy American. The only thing that really matters to Dom is solving the case and finding the artifact dealer. It shouldn't matter that the billionaire is sexy as sin, and it really shouldn't matter how there's an American agent stalking Dom, an American who knows more than he should about Dom's case, including the real reason Alexander Kempthorne hired Dom.

It shouldn't matter that Kempthorne's world is full of deadly secrets.

So when Alexander Kempthorne, boss of Kempthorne & Co Artifact Retrieval Agency, wants him on a special case to track down an illegal artifact dealer, Dom can't say no. The alternative - going back to the organized crime gangs of London's East End - is unthinkable. But he needs the job at Kempthorne & Co like he needs to breathe. In the underground world of glitzy illegal auctions, fast cars, and stolen magical artifacts, John 'Dom' Domenici knows he's out of his depth. Something wicked is moving in the shadows of London.
