Synopsis

The Insiders is the first in a brand new romance trilogy from New York Times bestseller, Tijan!

Bailey is as normal as could be, with a genius IQ and a photographic memory. But still, normal for her. Then, things happen—a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage. She finds out her father is actually billionaire tech genius Peter Francis, the same guy she’s idolized all her life. She learns all this when she meets dark, mysterious, and electrifying Kashton Colello. He’s an associate of her father’s, and he gives Bailey two choices—go with him and meet her father or survive on her own because those kidnappers are going to try again. It’s a no-brainer.

After this, three things become clear for Bailey:

1. She’s living at her father’s sprawling estate, complete with bodyguards and the best security that money can buy.

2. She’s no longer an only child. She has three siblings and has no idea what to do with them and vice versa.

3. She is being guarded by Kash himself. Personally guarded. And there is a lot of guarding going on there and some of it is going to drive her crazy.

A complete outsider in a world of wealth and decadence, Bailey has to find her way within a family that has more secrets than she could have imagined. One of these secrets could be deadly…

As always, Tijan’s writing style is clear, concise and unique. I like that she doesn’t use long-drawn-out wordy sentences, yet still crafts a high-energy suspenseful story. In The Insiders, realistic dialogue ratchets up the tension between her characters, giving the reader an insight into their feelings. What I had a little trouble with was remembering all the players’ names. However, once I got into the flow, I lost myself in the protagonists’ world.

As always, Tijan’s writing style is clear, concise and unique. I like that she doesn’t use long-drawn-out wordy sentences, yet still crafts a high-energy suspenseful story. In The Insiders, realistic dialogue ratchets up the tension between her characters, giving the reader an insight into their feelings. What I had a little trouble with was remembering all the players’ names. However, once I got into the flow, I lost myself in the protagonists’ world.

Before anything, I have to mention the gorgeous cover. I could see Bailey clearly in my mind’s eye, and she’s just what I look for in a heroine. Tijan did a marvellous job creating Bailey’s traits. A trooper, inquisitive and incredibly talented in what she does best, her life changes dramatically. Finding out the lie she’d been living doesn’t go down so well, but she’s not one to ponder and gets on with it.

Kashton Colello becomes Bailey’s tower of strength. He protects and defends her tooth and nail, and although this alpha male is an enigma when his true self is revealed, everything made sense. And you’ll see that he isn’t just her saviour. Those in need of serious damage control can rely on him. Regardless of all the upheavals, this guy couldn’t put a foot wrong for me.

The dysfunctional family surrounding is high frequency, and Tijan’s primary and secondary character and story development has enormous depth. Really looking forward to the follow-up and for romantic suspense lovers, it’s a must-read. Bravo, Tijan!
