TK Rapp included me as part of the beta reading team for this book,  I read this story in various stages and versions before the end product was published.  Each time I read what was provided, I wanted to know, what was going to happen next.Mine To Lose throws the reader right into the middle of a volatile argument between the main characters Em and Ryan.  Ryan’s decision to take a year-long assignment for his job in another state has Em reeling with emotions and they immediately manifest in anger.  Considering her age and the honeymoon stage of their relationship, this seemed like a realistic response.As the book progresses the back story on how Em and Ryan meets is revealed.  It provided me insight on how this couple came to being and the type of relationship they had.  Both were driven to advance their careers and Em had made significant sacrifices for Ryan in pursuit of his advancement.I loved how TK Rapp had Em immerse herself into her job in Ryan’s absence.  The introduction of Trey into the story also upped the intrigue factor for me and provided a nice dose of temptation to keep the storyline sizzling.  The revelation of certain events in San Diego left me with my mouth agape and put in a twist I was not expecting.Mine To Lose is a wonderfully crafted tale that takes its reader through a whole host of emotions.  I felt frustration, empathy, compassion, despair and relief at various points in the book.  The conclusion of the story has left a wonderful segue into a spin off which I cannot wait to see where TK takes this series.
