"Six months ago hadn’t been their time.Now was not their time.Perhaps their time would never come.That didn’t stop him from wanting it to…"When Emma Bailey’s search for her missing brother literally lands her in the arms of Cole Turner, the man who betrayed her and her brother six months earlier, she has no choice but to turn to him for help, even though she knows she can’t trust him, or her heart.Cole Stevens thought he had met “the one” in Emma Bailey six months ago, but when Emma catches Cole with her brother’s girlfriend in his hotel room, he knows he’s ruined any chance with her he thought he had. When fate lands her in his arms again, right in the middle of his current investigation, he can’t fight the attraction he feels towards her, but he knows he can’t trust her, or his heart.This was such a fabulous read! I’m a big fan of romantic suspense, and this story had just the right mix of everything I like – a sexy hero, a strong and sassy heroine, lots of action, tons of tension, steam and heat between the H/h, some good snarky banter, and a plot that kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I love when a story keeps me guessing until the end, and this book kept me doing just that!This was such a well written book that left me wanting more – more of the backstory on Cole and the people he works with, more about Emma’s brother Jacob, and lots more of sexy Cole! Cathy Marlowe has produced one fabulous debut novel and I can’t wait to read more in this Out of Darkness series!I received a copy of this book from the Publisher for an honest review.
