Blurb:
He protected me from danger and became my biggest threat.
He’s my defender. My savior.
A brutally determined man with a cocky smirk and an equally cocky attitude.
Broad. Strong. Focused.
He seduces me with his flirtation.
Warms me with his care.
But he’s hiding something.
There are ulterior motives beyond his concern for my security.
A thirst for more than my safe keeping.
I can’t fall for him. Can’t be tempted by his touch.
Not when he can’t be trusted.
But questioning my protector means I’ve now become his target.
From bestselling author, Eden Summers, comes another seductively thrilling standalone destined to leave you breathless.
My Thoughts:
Decker is friends with Hunter. If you follow Ms. Summers then you already
know who he is. If not, check out his
self-titled book. It’s where we are
actually introduced to Decker. Keira
knows how to use a mask to her advantage.
I’m happy that our author writes part of her story from Keira’s point of
view because even though Decker is good at making us feel a part of what’s
going on, I want to hear her thoughts.
She has a heavy heart and you can see how it
affects her. If Decker was the one to
tell the whole story, I might have missed something like that. I also liked to see how she put him on edge –
needed to see that he has a chink in his armor.
But there are secrets on both sides and I have to wonder if they will
bring our couple closer or drive a wedge between them. Our puppeteer seems to be her brother Cole
and I’m very interested to see how our author deals with him.
As we get to know more about the situation they
find themselves in, you’ll have no trouble feeling the tension. The author kept me guessing as to what she
had planned around the next corner – what’s up with that! It’s a great way to keep reading in order to
see if I can figure out the answers.
She’s very good at increasing the heat and then reigning it back to a
simmer. But the tension is always there
even when it sits just below the surface.
The topper is that she knows just the right moment to get us to laugh.
Even though our lives may be very serious, we
have to take a moment to find something funny.
There’s also a trust theme that seems to shine through. We need to have trust in others and in our
instincts. Plus we need to listen and
not just with our ears. Our mind always
seems to get involved but our heart tends to take a little bit longer. Letting trust in seems to make things a
little easier. Except when the author
leaves me with my mouth hanging open – well, where do we go from here? Hopefully the next book will help me with
that last question.
