The Cleaner by Renee Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Continuing in the pursing of a woman, The Cleaner is about Adrian and his thirst for vengeance.  Adrian is the first one we met at the beginning of this series.  He burned down a factory and needed a defense lawyer.  As a secondary character, 7 books in, his story is finally told.

What do we learn about Adrian?  Poor planning and even worse impulse control.  Good lord this boy is going to get everyone into trouble with his hot head.  He is not a bad guy.  He is immature and lacks understanding of how his harebrained schemes can backfire on not just him, but everyone.  The fact that he thinks he can carry out his plans solo so that it won't impact his "brotherhood" just shows his stupidity.  I guess it is good that he is The Cleaner.  It is a focused role in that he basically makes sure things are clean by blowing things up.  I like Adrian.  His heart is in the right place.  His head is screwed on backward.  Bless his heart, he's sweet and honourable just not the brightest bulb.  His poor boss has his hands full.  

Kateryna is unexpected just as Adrian notes.  She is my kind of girl.  Her lack of maturity matches Adrian's and perhaps her wild ways will help temper Adrian and get him to be more responsible.  Kateryna is described so well I can totally see what she looks like in my mind.  Dirty school girl outfit with overly make up mascara that runs around her eyes.  She is a walking billboard asking to be sexually violated.  She's just looking for the right Daddy dom.  Adrian isn't into the Daddy dom thing but he'll definitely punish her for bad behaviour.

The storyline in this book is a bit weaker than the others.  I'm amazed how things turned out because it is completely ludicrous what Adrian planned.  On top of it, the rewards they reaped are completely unbelievable because all bank accounts would be frozen, including Katerina's...  Suspending my disbelief aside, the erotic parts of this story are delicious.  I mentioned the Daddy kink.  There is some rough play as well as spankings.  Happy happy joy joy!  Kateryna is a bit of a brat but a cute one.  She does have daddy issues and finally acknowledges it.  Overall, this is a fast sweet read.  Recommended to kinky readers who love their mafia bad boys.
