Arden has moved from the city and lives alone raising bees, running a small online shop and surrounding herself with animals. While she loves Brody; his career and a lack of communication after losing their son caused her to end their marriage.
The two encounter each other at the cemetery and end up having lunch together. A decision that will later put Arden in harm’s way when the Counterstrike team foils a kidnapping and anger a man determined to ruin Brody.
The case was intense with danger and revelations, but it also forced Brody and Arden to spend time together and talk. Character growth, communication and their sizzling chemistry made this second chance romance; sweet, tender and believable.
The case was intense and even afforded us the killer’s perspective. This amped up the suspense. We had explosive and climatic scenes that were intense. Gallant kept things grounded, which gave believability to these scenes.
I loved the characters Gallant created, and the interaction of the team coupled with those they love. We get updates and get to watch this dynamic team work together.
Gallant did a wonderful job capturing the emotions and reactions of those who have suffered an unimaginable loss. She shared how we each react differently and how others perceive and interact with those who have suffered a loss. It felt genuine and added depth to the story.
