What a great start to a new series! Human trafficking, a one woman rescuer, and a vigilante family...I gobbled this one up in time!!

Sterling (Star) Parson was a prickly pear. She was difficult to get to know, making it very interesting peeling back all her layers! She was a tough nut to crack and definitely a survivor, but she was also a protector with a battered heart.

What to say about Cade McKenzie...hmmm, I pretty much loved the guy:) He was a tad over the top on abilities, but his protective attitude and the way he nurtured Sterling and coaxed her out of her shell-heart melting!

Cade and Sterling had fantastic chemistry! When she had her hackles up and was giving him a ton of grief-haha-I loved their battle of wills. All that heat scorched across the pages like nobody’s business and oh boy! Combustion!!!

I loved the McKenzies. They were a wonderful cast of supportive characters. Dad was like a military general and sister-Madison-the techie. His brother, Reyes...so he’s kind a a horn dog, but has a heart of gold and I’m anticipating his book like you wouldn’t believe!

TW-human trafficking and physical abuse is described.

I received an advance reader copy from the author and this is my honest review.
