Maybe it's because this book touched on a lot that is happening right now in the media. It seems like I've had it shoved down my throat and now I'm reading about it in a fictional book also. Too much for me. Maddie's current job is what kept me reading it. I just skimmed through the other stuff.

I really don’t know how to explain this story. Some of it really confused me because I had no idea what was going on. You have action, mystery, and sexual tension. It did keep me on the edge of my seat and was totally shocked by the end.
Maddie, a museologist, is documenting bones in a private museum because they are being moved to another and she must figure out if they are Native American so they can be repatriation. When the owner and great grandson of the museum gives her the creeps, she calls her best friend to see if she could send a bodyguard. Josh is a former SEAL and now part of RAPTOR. He moves to Oregon to raise his niece and open a new branch of the private security company. When Josh’s work spills into his personal life, he’ll do anything to keep his women safe. When Josh ghosts Maddie, right when she needs him most, will she forgive him?

Josh doesn't have time for a relationship because of work and his niece and many other responsibilities but the sparks between him and Maddie make it hard for him to remember that. Josh's job puts everyone he loves at risk and Maddie's job raises many questions. Can Josh and Maddie make it through all the obstacles and be together or is too much standing in the way?
I really enjoyed this book it was a fast quick read and I finished it in less then a day. I had to keep reading because I wanted to find out what happened the characters feel real and I was happy to catch up with previous characters and meet some new ones. If your looking for a great series with drama, bad guys, romance, love, family check out this book and you really should check out this whole series. I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and here is my honest review I planned purchasing this book because I have enjoyed this series and I will definitely reread this one again and again in the future and I cannot wait for the second one.
