It's been a year since Gentech Facilities went down. Symone Jackson has been dealing with the repercussions of the experiments Peter Reeser conducted upon her. Her touch renders anyone she touches unconscious and, in some instances, it's been known to kill. Afraid of getting close to someone, she's decided to live on her own in hopes of keeping those she loves safe and out of harm's way.While out one day, she comes to another girl's rescue who's caught in throes of a gang war where it's either do as they tell you or suffer the consequences. Symone knows she should have left well enough alone, but the mother hen in her will not allow her to rest until she makes sure the girl is safe. Her actions, unfortunately, have dire consequences when a mercenary locks on to her trail with the intent on capturing her, once and for all. It's then that Symone realizes there's more at stake than she ever knew.Against his better judgment, Garret Hunter keeps tabs on his target wherever she goes. Granted, she eludes him whenever possible, but it's only a matter of time until he finds out her exact location. Observing her every move, her every action goes against what he's been told. She's kind and considerate and does her best to protect those she thinks need protection.Ever since he can remember, he's been told she's a terrorist that needs to be taken down. Deep inside, though, he knows it's not true. Symone Jackson is nothing like the person she's been painted to be. Her goodness and her beauty draw him to her, inciting his inner urges to know exactly what she feels like.Clashing with the enemy, Symone is startled to find that he's immune to her powers. To some extent, anyway. She wants to believe he's the bad guy, but her instincts tell her he's far from that. Most especially when he does his best to show her he's not there to hurt her. It's only then that his actions go farther than words can say.Banding together in hopes of taking Peter down, once and for all, she, Garret, and the others are prepared for anything Cassie's brother throws their way. At least, that's what they want to believe. When others are caught in the crossfire, they soon realize Peter's intentions are far more sinister than they gave him credit for.This was such an awesome continuation of the Reluctant Protector. I think Nana Malone has written such a wonderful series, one that will draw you in from the moment you begin reading. If you haven't given this series a chance, you should. It's like X-Men but with a deeper and more satisfying twist. I definitely recommend it.Please Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
