Jude and his 4 other brothers work together in their own security business ,Wilde Security. Jude has just been released from the marines and is really bored waiting on something new and exciting to happen. In walks his ex-girlfriend's father, Colonel Elliot Pruitt. He wants to hire Jude to protect his daughter Elizabeth, who is the prosecuting attorney on a high profile case. She's been getting threats and with each one, they became more personal.  Jude wants nothing to do with this case, but ends up taking it after his brothers refuse to take NO for an answer from him.Libby's at work and having a hard time because she can't stop thinking about the threats, and also the fact that K-Bar the man she is prosecuting, is out of jail. She is looking across the hall when the elevator door opens and Kenneth Burke, one of her father's employees, and her friend get off of the elevator with Jude. It's been 8 years since she has seen Jude, and she really wants nothing to do with him, even though just looking at him has her heart beating faster. Jude has a different idea though and as soon as Libby opens her mouth to say something, Jude zeros in and gives her a kiss and then another. All of a sudden WHAM! She punch's him right in the kisser.Jude and Libby are not happy with the situation,  but they decide to make a go of it, especially after a car tries to run them down and another threat is made against Libby. Jude has a special friend, who just happens to own a house in Key West, Florida, that has all sorts of security measures already in place, so the two of them head down to the Keys.As the story moves along, the sexual tension between these two escalates. It's not long before Libby gives in, and her and Jude have a long bout of hot and hard sex that is SCORCHING! I was really surprised by the amount of heat that there was in this book. All the love/sex scenes were done extremely well and they are plentiful, which is a HUGE plus for me.There are also a few laugh-out-loud moments in this book that added to my enjoyment.Near the end things start to go a bit crazy. There is some action, and a bit of a twist in the story line, and I had a hard time putting the book down and read straight through to the end.I only have one complaint with this book, and that was the ending. Oh it was a good one alright, but I needed and wanted more.Overall this was a really good read. I look forward to reading many more of Tonya Burrow's books, and I can HONESTLY say that Tonya Burrow's writes romances just the way I like them!
