dis·trac·tion (/dəˈstrakSH(ə)n/) a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.
Distraction by Aurora Reynolds is the third installment of Underground Kings Series and can be read as a standalone but I would urge readers to read the first two books since previous characters makes an appearance in this book. I loved the first two books of this series but for Distraction I liked the book but didn't loved it. For some reason, the characters couldn't pull me into the storyline as I would have expected.
“She guards herself so closely, never allowing herself to be vulnerable for anyone. But I won’t accept anything less than all of her. I want her— no, need her— to feel for me what I feel for her.”I usually don't mind the insta-lust/love in most stories but for some reason it didn't work for me with the story of Maggie and Sven. Their relationship felt so rushed that it felt so sudden for me to have these characters exchange the "The I Love You's ". Also, I was a bit weirded out when Sven and Maggie first hooked up because I just couldn't fathom the idea of why Sven continued the sexual act knowing that Maggie was not in the proper state of mind. With that being said, the relationship of Sven and Maggie was this insta-love from that moment on. As these two continued to build their relationship, Maggie's younger sister and Sven's rival soon becomes a distraction for these two.
Family has always been an important aspect in Maggie's life. She loves her parents and sister dearly. And so when her sister's drug problem gets out of hand, Maggie is always there to fix it. And so when Sven makes an ultimatum to Maggie to choose her sister or him, what will she choose? Also while Sven is being distracted by his love and protectiveness of Maggie, will this distraction be his downfall when an enemy has his target on taking down Sven?
Overall, Distraction was just an okay read. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. It was just alright. I just didn't get the pull to fall in love with these characters while the multiple ongoing distractions were occurring. But what I did love was the epilogue. Personally, that was my favorite part of this book. Though this book may not be my favorite of Aurora's, other readers might love this book. So if you are a fan of a possessive and protective alpha male and the whole insta-love romance then this book might be for you.
