This was a good read and I enjoyed it from the characters to
the excitement. Before you really get into the danger, adventure and thrills
you are about three fourths the ways through it. From this author I am used to
it starting from the first page grabbing your attention. This is not to say it
was a bad read at all because it was a good. The author brings back characters
from the past, it was great to meet Laura brother who we know from the past
book he was in the military and kept as a prisoner for many years leaving her
to believe by her dead husband that her brother was dead. This is a standalone
read the author does fill in the information that you do not have to read the
past books but really you should to get the full impact. It is a story of a lot
of pain not only for Presley but for James as well. Presley’s parents expect so
much from her, making lots of demands. She really hasn’t had much of a
childhood or adulthood. Her life has been wrapped around Grand Prix
circuit with her parents controlling her life. She is at the age she has missed
so much and doesn’t want to miss anymore. James is having flash backs of when
he was held prisoner. He knows he is missing something important and needs to
remember, as he does he finds
out his life is in danger along with Presley.
As always with Ms. Ryan her plots are good, her characters are great with a story that is very believable. She gives true emotions that really pulls you in. You can feel every painful step James takes along with his anger, needs and wants. He is afraid to love again he lost so much the last time plus who would want half a man who goes nuts from time to time. I loved his dog he really stole my heart in so many ways. I had no trouble feeling and picturing as he helps James get through the good and bad times. Presley’s mother is something else and gets into a mess. We know how that affects Presley but do not learn of the outcome. The passion is hot, the love scenes steam along with some very close calls with danger that could lead to death. I would have like for the story to have a little more excitement of danger before it does but the rest of the story was outstanding. 3.5 taking it up to a 4.
