Rating: 5 out of 5

From page one, Alexa Bourne drops you into the middle of a fast-paced plot involving missing persons, murder, and dirty cops.  This book has all the action you could ask for from a suspense including a to-die-for ex-military hero.I loved Matt before I even knew him, but I was a little unsure about Tessa.  I usually like strong, take-charge heroines in suspense.  I was a little wary of Tessa, who identified as a victim. Tessa was definitely an exception to my rule, though.  I loved the way she pushed herself to learn to protect herself and Matt even though it was way outside her comfort zone.  She stood strong when the going got tough, even though she didn’t have the background or skills to enable her to do that easily.  That’s the true definition of bravery.The romance was super-sweet and didn’t push out the suspense, which kept me guessing to the end.  I also got really attached to Tessa’s brother, Jason.  I hope his story is coming next!All in all, I think this is my favorite Alexa Bourne so far!
