Holy heck! This author is killing me!


’He’s not good or bad, right or wrong. He’s a man, flawed and perfect all at once.’


With so many twists and turns as the players in this game are jockeying for position, I couldn’t put this one down! Savage and Candace are learning to trust each other to stay, no matter what the future holds, even as they are fighting to protect those they love...all while bringing down the men who put their lives at risk.

I loved seeing this couple work through their issues, new and old. Candace is such a strong heroine and more than capable of handling a man like Savage. I respected the heck of her ability to stand up to him and demand what she wants and expects from him. There is a bit of push and pull as they go at it, but with each push they come back together all the stronger.

”I can’t be a princess in a glass tower. I have to be --”

I cup her head and kiss her before I say, “A princess by my side with a Sig in her purse?”

“Exactly,” she says. “One I know how to use.”

“Now you’re just trying to get me hot and botherd, baby.”


We not only get our tough guy Savage back again, but we see his wicked humor on display in some wonderful one liners as only Savage can provide. I kinda missed that about him in book one but then again, he was floundering a bit with making Candace accept him. Now, despite their relationship still being a tad shaky, he’s back in full force and ready to do whatever it takes to protect her.

”Fear makes me want to fight. For you. I want to fight for you and us. I want to fight every war you face with you. And you are better with me. But I am also so much better with you. Because we’re better together.”

This isn’t loaded with a lot of action but unveils itself in layer after layer of suspense as all the players take position. Of course, through it all is the undeniable chemistry and the sexual tension between Savage and Candace. These two absolutely sizzle when in the same room together.

And just as everything seems to be coming together, plans are laid out and everyone is moving into place, we get the monster of cliffhangers! Of course, I knew we would but I never saw it ending this way. And now to hurry up and wait for the final book in this trilogy!
