First book in a brand new series! 

This is a spinoff series from the Seattle Scorpions series. This book is ok to jump into, in my opinion. While our MMC is in the Scorpions series, our FMC is a new character!

Kendra is now single. Her ex, who she spent way too much time, love and attention on, is done. She did so much for him. It made me so mad to see how he treated her! 

Our hero, Jack, is a sweet guy. He's been in love with Kendra for years but has had to see her with... basically his enemy. A guy who he knew didn't appreciate her. 

So when the opportunity arises to help her out with a place to stay, Jack is warned to keep his distance. But honestly, who wouldn't help? Especially the one who honestly needs a hand up after all that she's been through recently. 

Jack really surprised me, though. I was expecting one type of guy and whew, he put it ON. He definitely wasn't a mild-mannered little boy. 

I enjoyed that the book also focused on Kendra's life. She's awesome at what she does, too. Far too often, what our FMCs do is pushed back to the back burner. She's accomplished in her own right. 

Can't wait for book 2 (at least I hope it's who it is!!)
