This book is part of a series, but can easily be read as a stand alone. And there are a couple of trigger warnings that should be included for violence and death of an infant (this takes place before the story starts, but is pivotal to the plot and is frequently mentioned).

If you’ve read any of the other books in the series (or other books by Cherry Adair), this one does not disappoint. There is tons of action and lots of steamy love scenes. There are also twists and turns in the plot along the way that take you by surprise.

The main characters- Addison and Rydell are complicated and nuanced, as are the supporting characters. I loved getting to know everyone on Rydell’s team; especially since the earlier stories in the series are all told from the Cutter family’s POV, so it’s nice to see that their arch-nemesis is actually a really good guy too.

I definitely recommend this book (series and author as well) if you love romantic suspense! I can’t wait to read the last book in the series.

Disclamer: I received and eARC of this book through Net Galley on behalf of the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
