Our Thing: An Australian Mafia Romance (Kids of The District Book 1)

Product Information

You were forced into a life that bred toxic masculinity and crushed weakness, but you managed to hold on to your integrity. Oh Nicci Nicci Nicci, just when I thought my poor heart couldn't take another beating you reached through the pages, ripped it out, and ran it through the grinder shredding me completely.

He's possessive and tries to keep her away from his work, he doesn’t want her tainted by the darkness, so there are things that he will keep from her. What I mean is characters under 27 y/o, huge drama without events, light intensity of intimacy (why the fuck im being decent). For me it wasn't even about what happened, but was about how annoying as shit the characters were 😭- or to put it more ✨eloquently✨: was about how unbelievably immature the characters were barely that far into the story- and how unlikeable they became because of it?

But what she does know is that she wants Max and so will accept whatever she must if it means having him in her life. She (Nicci) shines in crafting novels that toe the line between dark and dangerous, and sweet and sexy, which culminates into a deliciously sinful story of passion, truth, and acceptance. Only Nicci Harris could have me rolling in tears from laughter one minute and then pulling my hair out the next.

This irritated me because I couldn’t ground what I was reading, and I felt confused trying to work out where this was set.I love when an author gives us character development and, in this case, both characters were change for the better by being with each other. But he’s so gentle with Cassidy there are some areas where you can see when Cassidy grabs onto some of max ‘s darkness. But the more he sees (or even thinks about) Cassidy with anyone else, the more Max starts re-evaluating his priorities.

Cassidy is a focused ballerina with a crush on Max Butcher, she has watched him from a far but never spoken to him, until her birthday party where she gets drunk and ends up telling him how hot he is. She went from an asexual pigeon to a needy, clingy, whiny woman, almost addicted to sex and it just made her more unlikable. Cassidy is an astounding ballerina who is making a name for herself, all while she crushes on Max Butcher from afar.She shines in crafting novels that toe the line between dark and dangerous, and sweet and sexy, which culminates into a deliciously sinful story of passion, truth, and acceptance. This is Cassidy Slater and Max Butchers story Cassidy is the baby Sister of Konnor and Max is a key player in the district.

Loved this book and even though it’s a big longer then I usually read I found myself sad that it was over. In true Nicci fashion, she doesn't give you the ending you've been dreaming about and wishing on a star for, oh no, that would be too humane, instead, she serves it up true District style with an intricately woven finale that is equal parts raw, messy complicated and oddly fulfilling.As she picks up the broken puzzle pieces of her life and begins arranging them, Cassidy truly begins to mature and I couldn't help but tear up to see my little girl all grown up. While I finally got my answers from book one, I couldn't help the crushing sense of finality that comes with the end.
