No Holding Back by Lori Foster

4.0

Lori Foster is back with a new romantic suspense series, this time focusing on a family of vigilantes with the means and the skills to take down human traffickers in the picturesque Midwest mountains. Cade, his brother Reyes, his sister Madison, and his father Parrish have made it their mission to bring to justice the terrible men responsible for trafficking innocent women. But when skittish and secretive Sterling Parson catching Cade's attention, he can't explain why he's driven to protect her. Sterling has been on her own for longer than she cares to remember, and can't afford for Cade to figure out she's not just a tired trucker who's fond of his bar and the warm booth he lets her nap in. But when these two finally let their guards down to trust one another, they'll realize they have a lot more in common - and a lot more chemistry - than they thought possible. And they can possibly help each other find the justice, and love, they both crave.

Thoughts: I can type this loud enough, but I am so glad Lori Foster came out with this latest romantic suspense! I didn't really enjoy her Road to Love series all that much, which was really disappointing because I was totally absorbed by the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor, Love Undercover, Ultimate, and Body Armor series. I devoured those books. Her latest series, The McKenzies of Ridge Trail, lives up to all of those series' expectations. It has a page-turning suspense plot, a backstory that you don't get lost in but still keeps your interest, plenty of chemistry between the main characters, swoon-worthy guys, strong and independent women, and playful banter between main and secondary characters. This is one to be enjoyed by Foster fans and newbies alike, and for anyone looking for a captivating love story with just enough plot to keep you reading well passed your bedtime.
