I am usually not a real fan of the whole hidden agenda storyline, but overall I did enjoy this story. Eva was running from an abusive relationship and Naz was hired to trail and keep tabs on her by her alleged husband. It was so heartbreaking to witness Eva starting to fall for Naz and anticipating what was to come once Naz’s true agenda was revealed. But even with that anticipation, I loved the banter and chemistry between the two. Their interactions were funny and sweet. Once Naz was aware of the true circumstances between Eva and Dmitri, his mission was to protect Eva at all costs.

When I saw this book was available on Netgalley, I automatically clicked the request button and just read the blurb on the site so was unaware that this was a three part series. Normally I would wait until all books in the series are out to start reading, so I was a bit upset when in the middle of reading the book I decided to read some of the current reviews on another site and found out it ends in a cliffhanger. When I finally finished this book, I have to say I really did enjoy it, there was action, suspense, lots of humor, great romance and the sexy scenes between Eva and Naz were hot. Like it was mentioned before, there is a cliffhanger, and I’m not sure what it was but I was really not too upset with how it ended. I was actually anticipating something much worse so I was okay with it.

Overall it was a great read.

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake Romance for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

This was the first book I have read by J T Geissinger’s and I was really impressed. I am now working through her previous titles. The characters are well developed and the Tory well thought out. I was a little disappointed, however, that was not the complete story and we are left with a cliffhanger. I would have much preferred a complete story or at least an indication of a sequel.

Nasir, is hired by Dimitri to find his runaway wife Eva. Nothing s as it seems though and it is clear that Eva has been subjected to years of abuse. Naz makes it his mission to protect Eva and gain her trust.

I am looking forward to next instalment. I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.

I had no idea that this was not a complete book or I never would have started it. I would have waited for the second part. I had problems with several things in this book. I could not believe that Naz kept semi dating her when even I knew that the ex was probably having him watched too. So he was purposely putting her in danger. There was humor in the book in the was they talked to each other but I just kept thinking back to how much danger he was putting her in.

Naz is a protector. When he finds out what Eva has gone through, it tears him up. I like this about him. Another thing I liked was the way that they were constantly teasing each other.
What I did not appreciate was that this book was left with a cliffhanger. There was nothing in the summary that this is part 1. The title states book 1, leaving me to believe that this is the first book of a series.

Eva is on the run from her abusive ex and Naz has been hired by the ex to keep an eye on her. What Naz doesn't know is that the ex, Dimitri, is an evil crime lord who kept Eva captive for several years, torturing her and her family. The more Naz learns about Eva, he realizes that she is the victim and vows to protect her as their relationship deepens.. Unfortunately for them both, Dimitri will never give up what is his. Lots of action, suspense, and romance make this a great read. It is part 1 of a 2 part series.
