Two
disappearances…
Lives forever altered…
A witness leads to a manhunt that’ll shape what’s to come.
She disappeared so long ago, but she’d never faded from his mind. Search and
Rescue handler Caden Summers loved his life for the most part. He owns a little
piece of wildlife heaven on the outskirts of town, has great friends, a side
gig with Nightshade Securities and best of all—Renegade—his four-legged search
partner and best friend. Suspected, ridiculed and dismissed.
No one can blame Aspen Ridge for resorting to a corner in the middle of nowhere
to live her life after her sister’s kidnapping. Her cottage keeps her away from
the society that once ostracized her. Her career moonlighting as Penny Sexton
helps her keep a pulse on the outside world, becoming the person she always
wanted to be. Her only complaint in life is that heAsr past surrounds her
everywhere she looks.
Rescued from a suspect retrieval attempt gone wrong, Cade finds himself nursed
by a spitfire of a woman who isn’t afraid to wield a weapon in front of his
friends—something he’d found oddly attractive—yet a little foolish considering
their background.
When past and present collide, submersing him into the longest unsolved manhunt
of his career, Cade knows one thing is sure. No one involved with this case
will ever be the same again.
All it took was three days with the feisty Amazon for him to make up his mind. He’d
help her find her peace.
Then he’d help himself to a piece. Hopefully before all hell breaks loose.
My
review
I have to
admit the author have a great taste to choose her cover. It’s one of the
reasons why I started to read this series at first, that and because I like to
read novel with a mixt of romance and action. Just like the took other books, I
was hooked until the last page.
Even though
I liked all the characters, I could relate more to Aspen and not only because
she is also a writer. Just like most of characters in books, she is not
perfect, but it’s also made her more humans and more likable to the readers.
She is a strong female and her evolution was exciting.
For Caden,
he was interesting, but I found that he was too similar to the other male in
the series especially for the overprotective side and that he and Aspen felt in
love really fast. In the same time, I think when your life is in danger, things
escalate without having the time to notice it.
I recommend
to start with book 1 because most of the characters are coming back maybe to
help or create trouble, it’s up to you to find it.
Excerpts
" I write books. Damn good books.
It’s how I make a living, " she stated. " It’s not mommy porn at all. Yes, I like details my scenes, and I admit
they are creative at times. I’m good at it, and I don’t plan on.." (p.32)
This book
was good. Great even. So great I’d read so much, my head’s been pounding for
the last hour and the letters have started to blur. And I wasn’t just saying
that because I now know the author, or the fact that the hero in it works in
Search and Rescue, just like me. (p.36)
The only
reason I didn’t feel the pressure was mostly because I’d given my editor more
that what had been asked of me last week so she wouldn’t hound me until closer
to the end of this week for more work. (p. 87)
For the
first time since I’d been younger, someone had taken charge of things and
allowed me the luxury of feeling my emotions instead of fighting them for
self-perseveration purposes. (p.96)
" I’m not going to apologize for
protecting what’s mine, baby. You can bitch, scream, hit me if you will, but
I’m not going to feel one ounce of guilt for protecting you. " (p.120)
To say I
was feeling compelled to work a little of Devolin into one of my future
characters was a gross understatement. She was definitely inspiration
personified and whether she agreed or not, she was going to be the lead in a
new series that was beginning to take shape in my head. (p.131)
