Definitely a story after my heart. Captured me from the beginning and i just couldn't put it down, finished it in 3 hours. Well delivered, well done.

PowerHouse is book one in the PowerChain series. I really enjoyed this book and had a difficult time putting it down. This book moves fast and keeps you wanting to keep turning the pages. I personally would struggle to find a stopping point if I had to close it for any reason. This book is a little bit on the darker side. I would suggest reading the free prequel before hand. I read it after and it would have helped understand a few things if I would have read it before. At the time that I got the prequel on Amazon it was free. For those that are sensitive readers, this book may not be for you. When the book first starts, you get a glimpse at the violence in Onyx Blake. I was really expecting a much darker a story from the description, and while there was a few dark spots overall it wasn't that dark in my opinion. Onyx was dumped off at birth and stuck in an orphanage until he became old enough to leave. While in the orphanage he became close with 3 other boys and they made a plan of how their life was going to go after they were able to leave. And the four of them were determined to be successful, and they were that. Onyx is dealing with a client and his wife and things aren't going very smoothly and the sister barges in, in the middle of her own little crisis. Onyx sees her and is interested right from the get go, but she has no interest in him regardless of his looks. Nobody dismisses Onyx and he makes a snap decision to take the sister as collateral. Don't want to give anything away, so you have to read if you want more then that. The characters were mostly enjoyable-- there were numerous times I wished I could have smacked Onyx. He could be a real jerk, at first I didn't enjoy his character, he was just too much of an a$$, but then as he spent time around Collateral AKA Torryn, he started mellowing out, but the jerk side would resurface. Once you get beyond that, there was good chemistry between the characters. I did like how strong Torryn was, they needed that to balance out the alpha and jerk that is Onyx. I think the authors did a great job of setting the stage for the stories in the book, and can't wait to see how Paxton's story unfolds, since you get a minor sneak peak of the beginning of his story in the last chapter. Hope this helps! Happy Reading!!!
