5/10, this was a snoozefest of a book and I'm surprised that Costa gave this one an award and it also gave one to another book called Sophie Someone which I didn't like and I didn't enjoy this one; maybe we have tastes that are too different from each other I don't really know. The story is about Charlie Law whose surname coincidentally is the same as my first name and he was called by his last name which was really strange to see but nonetheless I pushed on because that wasn't important. It wasn't that intriguing since it's just about when he met Pav who immigrated from one town to another to escape a war and barely spoke English however that made sense so then they bonded with one another, Charlie stops a mafia thing from happening and that was it. I disliked how the war was essentially in the background most of the time and I would have liked if I got to see Pav's POV of what happened when he was in the warzone and the choice to have thoughts written in all caps stood out and not in a good way. The other side characters were just forgettable and so was the side plot which was shoehorned in like almost every non romance book nowadays and guess what, the side plot was about Charlie developing an attraction with a girl named Jessica and that was it.
