First off, let me say that this book is well written. The pacing was smooth and the dialogue spot on which makes for an enjoyable book. I really think that this is a book that a lot of readers will love.
That being said, I didn't fall in love with this book. There was a sense of remove, a glass wall between me and the characters. This really affected my being able to care about the characters which in turn affected the tension that the author was trying to build up. I think that a part of it is the fact that I didn't find it realistic that Cecily is running from an abusive relationship yet is immediately ready to jump right back into one fraught with danger. I have had an abusive relationship in the past and it took me a while to gain back my sense of self worth. Sure I had some rebound flings but those were filled with self doubt. And that self doubt just isn't apparent in her when it comes to Shane.
Like I said, I am sure that many of my readers will enjoy this book and it is the start of a new series so jump into the story of the Hudson Kings from the beginning. This book does contain violence and some rather hot sex scenes so be forewarned.

Y'all this book is so bad. I was so excited by the premise. A man picks up his mercenary buddies sister and must bring her home safe. She was caught in an abusive relationship and she needed an escape. I love me a good action/suspense romance. This book fails at both action and romance. The action is cheesy and underdone. The romance is over the top and overdone. The characters are never true to themselves or how they would act. Cecily is a vapid, self absorbed admitted gold digger. Shane is an ass who doesn't know what he wants. The other "kings" are disrespectful to women. The whole book is a feminist nightmare. Oh and the audible is real hard to listen to. The woman's voice is so high pitched and grating. Also the amount of times the main character said "ugh" in the beginning of the book is painful. Ugh is not an acceptable thing to put in a book.
