Such a well written book that grabs you from chapter one! In the beginning we’re introduced to Blake and Bronx. Blake is a self-assured, highly intelligent, highly successful woman with the title Dr. before her last name. She’s content with the life she lives. Bronx is a man working in security who’s job is to protect his targets. These two characters come from different worlds and the juxtaposition of their personalities really makes the story. Bronx is given the job of protecting Blake and the adventure they embark on is one neither expected nor saw coming. In their forced proximity the attraction is unmistakable. Bronx begins to peel back Blake’s layers, showing her that a life worth living isn’t always planned down to the “t”.
I like that the meat of the story is the characters spending time and getting to know each other. They struggle with past hurts and current patterns but begin to figure out that what led them to each other is truly a twist of fate.
The action scenes are gripping and I love a good romance with suspense woven in. The romance is swoony and definitely steamy!
My first read from this author and it won’t be my last!
