I just love Brazen books. They never let me down. Out of Control by Nina Croft was yet another great read.I didn't read the first book but you don't need to in order to enjoy this story. Of course I want to read it because I want to know more about Kim and Jake.But for now- I'll focus on Dani and Zach.Dani is all military seriousness. She is forced to take a leave of absence from active duty and so that she can keep busy, her friend Jake gives her an assignment helping to protect Zach, who is being watched and threatened by the mob.This book really wasn't about the suspense of the drama that Zach is facing which I was surprised about. This was all about Zach and Dani and really about Dani facing her fear of letting herself love someone.Dani is convinced everyone she loves will be taken away from her. Her story is so sad and I have to say, I loved that Nina was creative with Dani's backstory. There is a lot of stuff she could have done and she really created something different in Dani's past that I thought was both interesting and heart breaking.I loved Zach. He was direct and to the point but he didn't really play games. He sees Dani and he's just all about her. And despite what she thinks- he's not really a player. When he focuses, that one woman gets his attention. Sure- he's rich and good looking and has fun where he can- but when he wants to be with someone- he doesn't hold back.I don't always love a story where the man isn't the one running. I don't know why but it makes me so mad at the woman- maybe because a good man is hard to find.BUT I really liked the fact that Dani was the skeptic throughout the majority of this book. It worked for the story and really, it fit her character.This isn't a revolutionary new romance novel but it is so solid, has a wonderful HEA and some great sex along the way.If you're looking for a quick read that will leave you satisfied- look no further!
