Elizabeth Martinez has been put in a dangerous situation by her brother. She is a computer security specialist, a smart woman, but when it comes to her brother she doesn't think rationally. Time after time she has been dragged into his sordid life to save him. She won't tolerate anyone saying anything against him for there are things between them that only brother and sister know. But in rescuing her brother constantly she has enabled his behavior and this time both their lives are at risk. She's not alone though, her ex-boyfriend is there to help her whether she wants him to or not.Porter Caldwell, a former marine and part of Red Stone Security has been asked by Elizabeth's parents to keep an eye on her. This he does more for himself because he has always cared about Elizabeth and should never have let her walk away from him months before. She doesn't make it easy for him to protect her for when it comes to her brother she is stubborn and recklessly unwise. There was quite a lot of tension between them a lot of it sexual attraction and from the situation at hand. Porter is a fantastic hero that could do no wrong for this listener. He's a strong, protective, sexy, alpha male who could be tender when the moment warranted and then tough when he had to be.This story is non-stop action and suspense from beginning to end. You just don't know what's going to happen next. Having Porter and Elizabeth in such close constant proximity turns the heat level up quite a few degrees to steamy; they both feel for each other, never stopped even when they were split up. Their chemistry is palpable. Porter was wonderfully protective of Elizabeth but she was annoying at times, she really needed to learn about tough love when it came to her brother and that she could really trust Porter who would do anything to help her even if it went against the grain. But Elizabeth is tough and she eventually learns. This was quite an enjoyable read and listening experience, the first time listening to a story and it won't be the last.The narration was excellent; the words very clear, well-paced and easy to follow. Pyper Down used different voices for the different characters which brought a depth to the reading. What would have made this listen better would be having a male narrator for male voices and/or male POV's and a female for the female voices and/or female POV's.I received a complimentary copy from the author for an honest review.
