4 1/2 stars, My question is how have I never heard of this series, I saw this book on Netallery and yes I'm a sucker for the unexpected pregnancy story *don't judge me* so I though yes I want to read this book, but as I was reading I started thinking is this a series because even though I'm not lost( like some series if you don't start at book 1) I still kept reading things that made me say I think this is a seres *yes I know if I paid more attention I would have scene it said book 3*. Now that I know this is a series I just keep thinking how did I miss this because this is a really good book and reading about the previous heros while I am reading this book I know I missed out on 2 really good book before this one.After finding her now ex-fiance in bed with her now ex-friend Greer went to a bar to drown her sorrows in the loss of two friends. When Raphael walked in Greer couldn't believe her luck just days before while she was still engaged she met Raphael at his business, now with his cocky attitude and his gorgeous appearance Greer finds herself laughing and enjoying his presence and also making the decision that she wants to be with Raphael if only for the night. After spending hours together Raphael dropped off a happy Greer, only to minutes later walk into her apartment to find her ex dead. A few months later with the suspicions still hanging over her head about her guilt Greer's just found out that the night she spent with Raphael has left her pregnant and with someone threatening her she knows that when she tells Raphael her news she will also have to ask for his help.Raphael can't forget Greer or the night they spend together but finally realizing she didn't want anything more from him after all the attempts he made to contact her Raphael has tried to move on, but Greer walking back into his life to tell him her news has brought back horrible memories from his past and the woman he thought he loved before Greer. Not being able to deny Greer Raphael finds himself offering his protection even thought he isn't sure he can believe the baby is really his.The more time Greer and Raphael spend together the harder it is for either to deny the feelings they have for each other that grow stronger each day, and the truth that Greer never knew he tried to contact her all those months ago. With the threats escalating Raphael does everything he can to keep Greer and the baby safe, and just when they think all is well the true criminal has other plans for Greer, and Raphael and Greer's baby.I really liked this book I'm usually good at guessing the twists and this one took me longer than it normally would to guess the villain, I was angry at first thinking someone got away way to easily *if you read any of my reviews you know I'm out for blood and want revenge when one of the characters I love is wronged:}* so when I thought a certain person got off to easy I got irritated but boy I was wrong(and glad I was wrong). Raphael was a great hero, yes he was a jerk at times but he had not just been burned in the past but burned them stomped on them put through the mill so I gave him some leeway and he did not disappoint in making up for his start. Raphael ended up being a great hero who loved Greer and the baby so much. Greer was a great heroine as well, she was strong, and smart and kind.I wish I had known this was a series so I could have started with book 1 but I will be going back and reading both books I missed as well as reading future books(I know there is at least 1) books still to come in this series. Naima Simone is a great author who drew me in right away and kept my interest through the whole book. I never wanted to skim or skip anything and I found myself picking this book up whenever I could get a chance so that I could read just a little more. Ms. Simone is definitely going to be an author I keep an eye on in the future. I do wish we had an epilogue but thats just because I can never have enough epilogues, but overall this was an excellent book.*thank you NetGallery and Entangled Publishing, LLC for this ARC copy for my review
