This is a well written, fast paced, story filled with suspense and romance. Victoria Palmer and Wade Monroe work for LOST which stands for The Last Option Search Team. LOST searches for missing people when everyone else has given up trying to find them. The story begins when Victoria and Wade are assigned to work on a case of a missing woman. As they work on the case they discover they are dealing with a serial killer who is twisted and sadistic and gets his kicks hurting women. Wade and Victoria race against time trying to stop a serial killer who keeps taunting them. I loved this intense story, it had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.

I liked Victoria but I also felt sorry for her. She is very smart, yet she has little confidence in herself. She has a lot of dark secrets she keeps hidden and because of that she is afraid to get close to anyone. Wade continually tries to break down Victoria’s walls, but she keeps pulling away because she is afraid if Wade sees who she really is, he won't like her.

Wade is a hardened ex-cop and an ex-homicide detective and even though he has a tough guy exterior, he is always warm and caring with Victoria. He takes his time to get to know Victoria and let's her know that she is important and he tries to help her through her darkness. Wade is a good guy but he also has some issues he is dealing with from his past. Wade and Victoria have sizzling chemistry and I wanted them to work through everything and be together. Cynthia Eden writes an exhilarating and emotional story and I was never sure who the killer was until the very the end.
