Romance Schmomance
Written on Jan 28, 2014
Since I'm a huge fan of paranormal, this was a very different story and a first. And I loved it, made it hard to guess what would happen next, so it was really refreshing to read this one. Poor Samantha, having to grow up without her father, but she receives gifts from him on her birthday every year. And on her 28th birthday,she received a gift so "amazing" that people are willing to kill her for it ... *sarcasm*. It's pretty much the gift that keeps on giving a crapload of horrible things to Sam ... come on dad what were you thinking, you a**hole!
After being "rescued/taken away" from hired killers, it brings Sergeant Shaw into his life. And the only thing he wants is that little gift from Sam's daddy. And more than anything Sam is looking after herself and family, so she's not saying a thing about where she hid it.
I totally get why some of Shaw's team members were hostile towards Sam, their lives were pretty much stripped away from all of their family and friends. And that little cylinder is something they want, they no longer have anything to lose.
I was so unsure of Shaw for most of the book, he tried so hard to keep away from Sam, but he couldn't help the draw. After a while I began to question if he really cared about Sam or if he just wanted what she was hiding.
This book was extremely well written, I was glued to every single page and it was very unpredictable. And I wish it didn't have to end, HK, you have a new fan and I definitely look forward to reading more of your work.
