Rating: 5 out of 5

This book was riveting, as every Karina Halle book has ever been! There isn't a bad one in the bunch people, trust me.Ooooh, that Javier, what a slick nasty b-tard he is. Seriously, the man is oily and freaky and all sorts of no good. At one point in the book I was mentally screaming at Ellie thinking, "what the hell are you doing, girl????" I know she has a history with this man and all that, but nasty, just nasty.Camden really went the distance in this book, literally. Gotta give the man his due for being so devoted. He's pretty awesome. I usually hate the male leads in Halle's books but I am quickly becoming a Camden fan. He goes down in history as being her first male lead that I didn't want to smack upside the head. Dex annoys me, Sage annoys me, Javier repulses me. Camden, he's a decent guy. I'll take Camden, thank you :)As for Ellie, well she kind of fell apart in this book. She made all sorts of rash decisions and wasn't treating herself right. Usually Ellie can get out of a bind fairly well on her own. This time she needed the knight in shining armor to help her. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it makes for a great story, but get it together, EW! She went along with a plan that puts her in the situation of pretending to be a young American woman ALONE, visiting Mexico. A place where people are beheaded daily and vicious drug wars are fought. I would have called BS on that idea right away. Young American women do not take a vacation in Mexico alone. They go to resorts with friends. No better way to tip Travis off that something stinks like a very unlikely cover story.I don't know what the sneaky Javier was up to. We'll find out more in the next book, but I am secretly hoping he gets the final cut in the next installment. I don't know how much more of his creepiness I can handle!
