I received an e-arc copy of this book - LOVED it!Just got the go-ahead from the author to post my review :)This book comes out September 5th - I really recommend this book to anyone who loves a great romance, with lots of "ups and downs" :) the romance isn't too heavy,but it's perfect for this book though :)I have not read a book this good since I read New Moon a few years ago :) Seriously! I loved this book THAT much!The book starts off with *ahem* Katie observing her .. soon to be ex- at the office with his mistress -Lol She was planning on sneaking out of the office, that was until she spotted a broom leaning against the wall -Next we're in Luc's POV - he's thumbing through Frankie's office while he's out of town, only he's not as out of town as he thought he was. As he jumps out of the window, twists his ankle and runs towards his car, all of Frankie's mobster guys are after him.. with gunsBack to Katie , just about to leave the office when she gets a phone call from her concerned mother - her mother is great - I love this woman! She is so strong, so stubborn and such a great lady all around. And she truly wants what's best for her children. All of them!When Katie finally pulls her Green Nova (Kota) out into the street, and it stalls at the light - just in time for Luc to jump in the passenger seat. Bullets whizzing by, Katie panics and speeds down the road. Trying to have a conversation with this guy, trying to figure out if he's the good guy or the bad guy - lol his awesome sense of humor isn't much help either :)The bad guys catch up to them at the Quarry, and somehow Katie manages to knock the car into the quarry just as she sees the uzi pointed at her head! Finally the police show up - Whew -just as everyone is getting arrested, Frankie breaks free from the police that's holding him, and goes after Katie - after all, he's never been in trouble with the law before, and now he is - but she plows him with her 50 pound purse and kicks him hard in the leg and he goes down. Before he can get back up to attack her, the police grab him and shove him in the squad car.At the Police Station, the same cop that had arrested her for the "Tom" incident started questioning her. He didn't believe her story that she was car jacked. and he wasn't going to, she was so screwed!Inside Luc's questioning room, David Allen, his Commanding officer from the FBI comes in to find out the details that happened. Luc's cover is blown, and this lady's life was threatened because he jumped in her car. If he knew it was Frankie himself that was after him, he never would have involved another person. So there is only one thing to do.. bring her home with him so he could protect her.Well there is something else that Katie doesn't know - but Luc does... He knows her. He knows her well. and yet,he's never met her... but he's wanted to for a really long time.Lots of struggles go on in this story - I really loved this book. Nothing out of the ordinary, well unless you count the big black Newfoundland Dog, Spot :) Reading about the dog they all refered to as a big grizzley bear, I had to Google what it looked like. we are raising 6 American Bulldogs in my home - but they're all my husband's dogs - I'm begging for a Newfoundland puppy for my own now :)I love Spot - she is the perfect dog - even for a "seeing eye dog" in the middle of a restaurant :) She played a great character in this book as well :)BUT back to the story - lots of action goes on with car chases, and mob people shooting at everyone. Lives being threatened, good guys turning into bad guys, who can you trust?Then there is the ending - OMGosh! The Ending! I cried - I cried. My husband made me walk away from reading because I was crying so much - Then I sat back down and re-read it and cried again just as much hoping for something to change, anything to change - see that's why I compared it to New Moon - not giving anything away about what happened at the end, but I've read New Moon 8 times, and I still cry and hope for a different scene after they go into the woods together. Now I'm not saying this book has that same type of thing going on or not, I'm just say that no matter how many times I re-read this book,I'm going to be crying and I'm going to be hoping that something changes...(I'm a delusional reader :)But also like in New Moon - there is a happy Ending - and same with this book - although it took a LONG time to get there - seems like a new thing kept popping up at you, clear until the 98% mark on my kindle - lol I just wanted to keep reading and reading and reading - I will defiantly be re-reading this one in the future - and recommending it to all my friends :)Awesome book!
