It is so refreshing to read about a Hero who doesn't have any baggage or past loves before. That alone to me deserves 5 stars as it makes a great change lately! That said, I absolutely enjoyed this story. The writing was superb and the action & romance hit all my buttons. This is a must read people!

Kayla is a PI searching out a senators daughter at a known cult area. Its there that a dead body is found and Kayla makes the report about it. After a kidnapping attempt Kayla needs to stick close to the Lieutenant and find the killer.

I love a good mystery / thriller / Romance type of book and this book did it for me. I loved watching everything unfold. I loved that there was enough mystery for me to keep entertained and guessing. I thought it was interesting dealing with the cult situation and if they had any part in the murder / kidnapping. I loved the connection between the two main characters. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.

With every scene, the author paints an enticing picture with her words that made the story flow in my mind like watching a movie making it easy for me to step into those mental images and live through the danger, fear, and excitement with the characters.
Kayla Larimer has learned to depend only on herself. She is a lone wolf, a private investigator, who enjoys her work and prefers to her own company. Her parents taught her, the hard way, how to spot a fraud, a conman, to see when being manipulated, and read people's emotions and weaknesses, giving her the tools to excel in her career. They made her weary of relationships, and doubt she would ever want to have her own family, to make a commitment to a man. She is independent and fiercely guarding herself, yet she is smart and capable and doesn't act without thinking.
Dylan Holt is a solid, trustworthy man. He appreciates family values, he respects the people around him. He is kind and considerate, he does not seem to have any of bad baggage from his past, and he has a calming effect on Kayla. He has no intentions to hide his attraction towards her, yet he is willing to wait for her feelings to catch on. He is easy to like and admire, his straightforward and honest character winning me over.
The murder mystery and suspense around the cult was intriguing and distressing. The questionable actions and strange attacks against the law enforcement officers gave a dire atmosphere to the whole camp. The doubts of the cult members honesty were palpable, the tension is high, the uncertainty of the crimes and the destiny of those involved gave the story an intense and fearful, pressured feeling.
With the fascinating and puzzling cult as the focus of the criminal investigation, and the charming and captivating cast of characters searching for clues and evidence, the series is proving to be an entertaining and appealing chain of stories filled with menace and pursuit of criminals as well as happily ever afters.
