4.75 stars I wanted more romance!!!Maya had a rough childhood that shaped her into the woman she is now. She gives as good as she gets and keeps her distance. She doesn't form attachments to men and prefers to love them and leave them when they get too close. So when she finds herself intrigued by the charming and handsome Jackson, she doesn't know what to do. Ignoring him is not working, nor is giving into her urges while staying detached.Jackson is a nice guy. His friends call him the 'woman whisperer' but not even he can understand what's behind the lovely Maya. Not so easily deterred, Jackson pulls out all the stops to charm his way into her heart.However, instead of the romance beginning, their nightmare ensues.I have read the previous books in the series and although each of them had some sort of horrible thing happen to the main characters, none touched me as deeply as this one.Forget about romance and insta-love. Although Jackson and Maya's connection started developing before they were captured, that connection grew even more powerful upon the mutual trust they found during their ordeal. They kept each other safe and sane. They were each other's rock and it only got stronger as the story progressed from the main conflict to the romance."Just let me love you."Jackson and Maya went into this story as potential lovers and came out as partners. Their admiration for one another was palpable through the page, but what made their connection truly special was the way they relied on each other and made themselves completely vulnerable for the other."Just turn around and give yourself to me," he murmured against the top of her shoulder. "That's all you need to do."I loved Jackson from the moment he appeared on the page and was curious to read his story. I am so glad that Kaylea Cross didn't disappoint. From the singing, to the loving all the way through the capture, the rescue and their coming together in the end, I loved it all. By far, my favorite book in the series.Once again, Kaylea Cross managed to the page a suspenseful, emotionally driven story about surviving and starting anew.I received this title through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
