Kade and Lacey both endure tragic events in their lives that bring them together. Kade feels that he is Lacey's protector, and while Lacey likes the comfort of it, she is also tired of being shielded and left in the dark from him as well as her family. Danger comes into Lacey's life and Kade wants nothing more than to protect her from it, but she wants to be able to handle things on her own. I love the fact that Kade wants to save her, I also admire Lacey wanting to be able to make her own decisions instead of constantly being in the dark about things. I really enjoyed the book and it was very easy to get involved with everything happening. *ARC received from publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

While I am not big on first person books. This one drew me in. Easy read with alot of depth. Characters were well rounded and I was able to follow each story of each characters easily. Sometimes these types of books can lose me real quick but this one did not. Well written with some romantic elements. Is a winner for anyone who has trouble with first person books. Easy to follow for folks like me:) Will be hard to top. Bring on another SB Alexander.

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

Engaging story that moved along quickly...nice ending to what started out as a troubled/plagued by past events relationship.

Ok so it took me a little longer to read this with so much going on in my life but I loved this book. Seeing everyone grow and how the relationships moved on, adding the different characters into it was great, the mystery heals to the very end of the book, trying to figure out who killed lacyes mother and sister who was after her and her family. How the mob was connected to her in more ways then one. the love between her and kade is great to read about I love kade and the maxwell boys they are such strong protectors of the ones they love. And this caused problems in this book which was good to see lacye and made try to figure out how to work past it and love each other. I loved that the other boys were finding love and closure in their lives two. The writing is great and I can't wait to see if there's more in the next book

The Maxwell brothers are protectors through and through. Their Dad was a military man and they just can't stop themselves from protecting the women they love. In the first book we learn that Lacey's mom and sister were murdered, she since suffers from PTSD as the one who found them. She has a wonderful loving relationship with Kade and is the star pitcher for her high school baseball team. We thought their story was over in Dare to Kiss but the murderer had other plans. He is after something very important but nobody can find it. During this search Lacey and her dad learn about their family and why this item is so important. I was not expecting the thrilling suspense and the actions these young kids were taking. Guys in my high school were numbskulls compared to the Maxwell brothers, these boys are brains and muscles. A very exciting ride with raw emotions providing a deeper understanding of PTSD. The story was not always romance and action, the baseball games were a great mood shifter and quite exciting. We get Kelton's story next, will he change his player ways? My thanks to the publisher for copy through Netgalley for my honest review.

Kade had four brothers. His girlfriend's name was Lacy and she was the only one who could take him to a place where life was perfect, nothing else mattered. Lacy had PTSD. She had discovered her mother and sister murdered in their home. Lacy's symptoms had diminished over the last 6 months with Kade's help. Lacy loved to play baseball, but was threatened by one of the other teammates. Lacy was away for the weekend with her dad. She got a tattoo of a polar bear, which reminded her of the person she wanted to be: Strong and Intelligent.
Kade was the levelheaded brother out of the five. He tried to do the right thing. He tried to be the adult when his temper didn't get in the way. He loved his brothers so much it hurt. Kade was a good guy but he had a bit of an anger problem. He cared deeply for his best friend and he loved Lacy. He was mentally and physically strong. He was a family man, even at a young age as he watched over his brothers. He could be determined and stubborn and sometimes kept things to himself. I loved his character. Lacy was a young woman who had suffered deeply over her mom and sister. She was brave and did her best to be strong and determined. She felt helpless at times because of her illness. I loved her character and all the growth it did through all the twists and turns of the story.

The plot and story was fantastic. it was hard to set the book down until I was done. I highly recommend it.
