My Review:
I really liked Zander right from the first moment we met him. I was not so sure about Erin. She came off as kind of bland and whiny to me. Even though I was not feeling the chemistry between these two characters in the first few chapters I read on. I am so glad I did, this story truly surprised me. When Zander and Erin started off on their adventure into Mexico to rescue her mother it was all sexual tension and angst, I loved it. This is my first Jennifer Chance book and will not be my last. I plan on grabbing the other books in this series for sure. Zander was hot, alpha male protective military guy. Erin started off a bit wishy washy for me, but she pulled it together and I began to like her when she started to be honest with Zander. Through the book these two characters have explosive sexual chemistry and they fall into a bit of a two day affair as they face the dangers ahead. The whole time I held my breath, wondering as the characters did what the future would bring for them when the op was over. There is adventure in this book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are emotions that will have you crying for the loss of a parent and never having the chance to say the things you should have said. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions for both Zander and Erin. This book is about losing love. It’s about the decisions we make in the heat of the moment and how they can affect our lives and the people we love around us. It also showcases the emotional pain of strained parent/child relationships. Emotional, sexy adventure sure to keep your attention. Great love story, highly recommend.

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
