ARC Review - The Insiders by Tijan -

 

Title: The Insiders (The Insiders trilogy, #1)

Author: Tijan

Genre: New Adult Romance

Rating: ★★★★☆

Blurb: 

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…

Review: 

Yet another fantastic release from Tijan.

The Insiders is a fast paced romance with a twist. Already having read and loved Tijan’s books in the past, as soon as I read the synopsis for The Insiders I was intrigued and excited, and it did not let me down.

From the first page the story jumps right into the action. I very much enjoyed the main character of this story, Bailey. 

Bailey is a tech genius just like her father, Peter Francis. Though, she is not aware of this until she is almost kidnapped because of her connection to her father. Things spiral on from this point as the web of lies and secrets surrounding Baileys life and her newfound family, unravels.

I enjoyed getting to see into the techie side of things with Bailey and how amazing she is with computers. As someone who is a disaster with electronics, that was really cool to read about. 

Like I said in the beginning of my review, The Insiders is a fast paced story. It takes off from the beginning and I was thoroughly hooked throughout the story. There is enough intrigue and mystery surrounding Baileys new family to keep you glued to the pages. The romance between Kash and Bailey was interesting in the mix of everything going on in the story, and Tijan's writing keeps you engaged. 

I Loved this fast paced, and engaging romance! And am highly looking forward to the next one.
