Shattered Glass #2
Not So Innocent
Not yet published. On hiatus indefinitely.
Fresh out of The Academy, FBI Agent Riley Cordova is assigned to protect the infamous ‘Baby Capone’, son and murderer of one of Florida’s most notorious mobsters. But Nikolaj Strakosha isn’t at all what he expects. Sixteen, charming and whip-smart, Nikolaj is instantly loveable—in a brotherly way. Over the course of two years, Riley’s feelings deepen toward Nikolaj, becoming anything but fraternal.
Intellectually and artistically gifted, yet emotionally immature, Nikolaj ‘Cai’ Strakosha engenders protective feelings in nearly everyone he meets—much to his frustration. At sixteen, his attempt to rebel results in a series of heartbreaking events that brings Agent Riley Cordova into his life, and into his heart. But Riley treats him as gingerly as everyone else. Two years later, Cai rebels again. This time the stakes are even higher, the danger more significant, and Cai knows exactly what he’s getting himself into.
When Cai returns after a year abroad, he has a hit man and secrets riding hard on his trail. If Riley thought avoiding romance with the boy was difficult, the man Cai has grown into is a force stronger than a hurricane.

April 25, 2016After waiting for this book for more than 4 years, well, this is it for me. Sorry, Dani, I really loved Shattered Glass, but from now on I deal with it as a stand-alone story and not part of a series.
My reason for stating this right now is that somehow this recommendation feature here on GR all the time suggests this book and the follow-up (imagine that) for me to read. Yeah, right.

September 9, 2016For those who have complained this book is taking too long to come out: http://slashfiction.org/oh-look-anoth...
That is a pretty valid reason to put off finishing a book.
And then: http://slashfiction.org/its-over/
So hold your horses guys, okay? I really want to read it too :)

July 13, 2013I have got to stop reading excerpts.
It's like pure, undiluted torture (I prefer my torture watered down).
Sigh.
Excuse me while I go re-read the excerpt again. I'm going to read that shizzle until my eyes bleed because it's sooooooo good.

January 27, 2018It's 2018. Is this book out? *shakes head* After years of waiting, I will say this: if you have writer's block or whatever the issue really is, then say anything except that the book is "coming soon". That's lying, plain and simple.
And I don't care about reading excerpts and loose chapters. I want the whole thing.

April 2, 2012The best thing that I am looking forward to about this second installment is that since this is a single author’s work he will retain and use the right to involve the pilot plot and characters to his expense. That leaves an infinite and lucrative leverage to use and abuse everything and anything for the best possible results…..

April 11, 2024The fact that some of the reviews are 11 years old is scaring the shit out of me. Is it coming at all? At this point it’s sitting on my tbr shelf for 6 months only. Which for me is basically forever, I usually mark them sometime before release.
I need conclusion to this brain worm situation Dani! Like some of us are ocd ok?! We need to finish the story. Please?

September 7, 2019Gosh, still waiting. I just re-read the first book. Now I’m wondering why I did... was there an update that I saw somewhere leading me to believe that this second book was going to be released soon so I read the first one again? I can’t find a more recent author update than 2018. I swear I saw something, though. Argh. Maybe it was wishful thinking. Lol
