Riveting danger, an intriguing backstory and a sexy lawman to save the day ... what more could we ask for? With her first story in the Harlequin Intrigue line, Julie Anne Lindsey does not disappoint! She comes in strong with a sassy heroine, a conniving villain and a gun-touting cop determined to bring justice once and for all! It was fast paced, attention grabbing throughout, and had a sweet happily-ever-after. Really enjoyed!

Photographer Marissa Lane wasn't expecting to become the victim of an attempted abduction when she went out for a run one morning, but she finds herself smack dab in the middle of the return of a fugitive serial killer to the area!

FBI agent Blake Garrett has never forgiven himself for letting this monster get the slip on him 5 years ago, and not a day has gone by that he hasn't been hunting for him. Finally the end of this nightmare might be near ... but first he has to keep Marissa safe as the psycho starts playing hunting games!

Blake is on the hunt for a serial-killer and it seems like his chase has come at a lull. Marissa Lane managed to escape from the man who might have ties to Blakes serial killer. With a few more attempts at capture a cat and mouse games seems to be on and Blake will do anything to keep Marissa safe.



If you like a good mystery suspense novel with a bit of romance in it then this book might just be fore you. I honestly loved that the romance bit didn't over power this novel, I mean things are tense and the killer keeps making himself known there really isn't time for romance. I loved that there was plenty going on to keep things interesting. I loved that Marissa didn't make herself a easy victim, there was strong and did everything she could to get out of the killers grasp and even when she was pretty torn down she refused to let anything slow her down. I loved that she also didn't just wait for Blake to come and save her and really thought of ways to get out of sticky situations. Overall this was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

This is the first book by Julie that I have read but it will not be my last. Marissa and Blake have many adventures in this story. I was up all night reading this book. It was filled with mystery and romance, and, oh, such wonderful lawmen. Thank you to the publishers in Net Galley for allowing me to read this wonderful story.

This story resonated with me as coming from my own family of law enforcement, it depicted somewhat accurately a theme that through the years I have heard over & over again on my dining room table. That aside, Blake & Marissa are two characters that I instantly fell in love with. I love strong heroines and a protective hero. This one is a must read.

I am a fan of Julie Anne Lindsey and her writing style. She has an ability to bring readers to the point of nail biting suspense as well as make them swoon for the characters hoping for the Happily Ever After readers love.

This story off face pace pulling reader happily along as Blake and Marissa try to find a killer who wants to see her dead.

The characters stay true to who they are from beginning to the end of the story. Read will fall in love with smart tough as nails Marissa who has a soft side for her family and Blake who can't seem to understand how he could fall in love with someone who fast.

The story is well written and a must read by the pool during spring break. it is a quick fast read that will sastify mystery and romance readers.

I can't wait to read what Julie Anne Lindsey has up her sleeve next.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Harlequin Intrigue for the advance copy
