I don't know why it took me so long to take a chance on this author but boy I am glad I did because this was another cracking good read. This is Asher and Sierra's story. A tatted up, long-haired, former rocker, ex-Navy Seal bad boy and a woman on the run from a dark and dangerous past that stretches far and high. A past that if it ever catches up to her will take her and everyone she cares about down with it.
I completely loved this one from the beginning to the end. This is now the third book I have had the pleasure of reading by this author in the past month. If the saying "three strikes you're out" applies to misses then I am making a new saying "three hits, and you now get a spot on my favorite author list." Not as catchy I'll admit, but it works. The writing (as always) was fantastic. It was very well paced. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. I especially liked the serial killer sideline the author included. It reminded me of a great Netflix show I recently binge-watched MINDHUNTER. I didn't find this particularly angsty, and there was no OW/OM drama (something that I really enjoy about this author's books, at least the ones I have read so far). The sex scenes were hot and relatively plentiful. It had a fantastic cast of secondary characters. A lot of the couples from other books make appearances and I CANNOT wait for Jacob's book as he intrigued the hell out of me in this one.
Both main characters were (fairly) likable. Asher I ADORED. He was smokin' hot. He was alpha. He was sweet. He was protective. He had the patience of a saint, and he was all in from the moment he meets Sierra. Sierra on the other hand...ugh. I had a love/hate thing going on with this heroine. For the most part, I DID find her character likable. She just tended to frustrate me A LOT with her inability to trust Asher and the Walker Security peeps. Every time I thought she was finally going to open up, she took two steps back. I am also really hard on my heroines and when you have a reluctant heroine paired with a seemingly perfect hero I almost always have an issue. The only other issue I had with this one was the wrap up of the main baddie issue was a little anticlimactic. But really that was just a minor issue for me. Therefore this one is getting two huge thumbs up from yours truly.
