Anarchy Found by JA Huss

Blurb:
 Everyone needs a hero.
That’s what Detective Molly Masters tells me. “What we need,” she says, “what the whole world needs,” she pleads, “is a champion.”
The only thing I want to talk about with Molly Masters is how I’d like to make her scream my name when I push her up against a wall, slide my hand up her thigh, and live out my wildest fantasies.
“Someone who will fight against injustice,” she says.
I’ll fight against anything you want, honey. Just come a little closer.
“Someone who will stand tall in the face of adversity,” she says.
I’ll do it standing, sitting, or lying down. See how easy I am?
“Someone who believes in the value of a good deed,” she says.
I believe in the value of me, sweetheart. Because I’m Lincoln Wade. Jaded genius, obscenely wealthy, capable of violence, and looking for revenge.
Molly Masters might have delusions of grandeur. She might see me as some superman capable of cleaning up the scum, filth, and corruption in Cathedral City.
But I’m not the hero she’s looking for.
I’m the dark alley where all her good intentions hide.
So be careful what you wish for, Molly Masters.
Because you’re about to get it.

I was slightly disappointed by this book. When I read a preview of it on amazon.com I thought that it was going to be a super villian story reminiscent of a Batman/Lex Luther in one person. It was like that in a sense but there were quite a few things that were never explained and at about the halfway point things kind of stop making a ton of sense. 
In the book, the author gives two points of view (Molly and Lincoln). I liked each of the characters though JA Huss doesn't give a ton of background information on either of them other than Molly's family was known for performing amazing stunts. I didn't really have any issues with Lincoln. He was driven, powerful, and an alpha much like the the series name implies. Molly, however, was a bit gullible and weak for me. She seems to be tough in the beginning of the book but that appears to disappear as the book progresses. It bothered me quite a bit to see her character progress this way. I wanted the girl that could kick butt to come back. 
As the book progresses, we learn a lot more about each of the characters and where they come from. This is where my rating of the book became complicated. I didn't understand how the story went from zero to sixty towards the middle. I thought that the author was presenting one idea and then all of the sudden we get some back story on the characters that makes no sense to me. I don't feel like any hints were dropped about it at all so I was blind sighted.  This is why I had such a hard time rating this book. I loved the direction that the book went in but it didn't make any sense to me. There were a few other things that were not explained in the second half of the book as well. If the book would have been developed more in this area I think that it would have been a fantastic book. It is not a terrible book by any means and the story is really interesting. I couldn't stop reading it.
