***Be warned:  This isn't your typical romance or erotica novel, this is dark if that isn't your thing then believe me this isn't the right book for you**When I first started this novel, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it.  I struggled a lot with the first half of this book because frankly I thought it was going to set the mood for the novel as a whole that is until the moment that Junior Agent Samantha Holmes was kidnapped and everything I thought I knew about this novel changed.Since she was a child, Samantha Holmes knew she wanted to be an FBI agent.  It was an easy rode for her to take, one that most thought she shouldn't go down.  Why?  Because her father is a criminal who is now serving life in prison after he tried to kill her during her jail visit at the age of ten.  Now grown up, she is a junior FBI agent.  She hasn't been an agent very long, so imagine her surprise when her superior to her she would be working with veteran agent Ian Hennessy to apprehend Carlos LaGuardia who has been chasing him for a long time.  Samantha is familiar with the case of Carlos LaGuardia having spent hours analyzing the surveillance photos and the evidence they have gathered against him over the years.LaGuardia is a criminal and psychopath  who's every move is cold and calculated.  As they search for LaGuardia's next move, Ian and Samantha grow closer to one another and Samantha has feelings for him she never thought that she would.  But her involvement in the case is questionable.  Why not someone more experienced?  Why someone who looks likes his ex-lover Mia?  The closer Samantha gets to the case, the closer she becomes to being the prey and when she's kidnapped nothing will ever be the same again.Where have you been all my life Skye Warren and why am I just now hearing about your work???  I'm always on the lookout for my next great read.  I long ago grew bored with traditional romance and look for the darker side of erotica now.  At first I thought this book was going to be slow and boring, but the more I read the more I became attached to Samantha.  Throw everything you think this book is about in the first half because when everything comes crashing down it will leave you with your mouth hanging open.  Samantha and Ian were so well developed and I enjoyed their story a lot more than I thought I would.  I give it 5 fantastic stars and look forward to reading more of Skye's work in the future.***Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review***
