Chief Nursing Officer Hannah Young is accustomed to working under pressure, but even she’s still reeling in the aftermath of a horrific terrorist attack on Miami. And things only get worse after a knife wielding maniac tries to kill her. Desperate for help, Hannah must turn to the one man she never thought she’d see again.

After spending an intensely passionate night with Hannah, NSA Agent and former Delta Force operative Dax Costas fell off the face of the earth. He got called away for a two week mission with no way to contact her. Now he can’t get the smart, sexy woman out of his head. She might be angry at him, but when it appears she has a stalker, Dax moves her under his roof and into his protection.

Unfortunately, whoever wants Hannah dead will stop at nothing. And if Dax can’t identify the perpetrator in time, it could be too late to discover if there is more between him and Hannah than just heated passion...

My rating:

Hannah Young wants nothing to do with Dax Costas or his apologies after he lied and stood her up, but when he saves her from a knife-wielding masked man waiting for her in front of her house, she's more than happy to have his protection.


Judging by the blurb, you'd think this was a full-length novel. Well, you'd be wrong. It would've worked better as one, though. As it was, everything was crammed up in a novella so tightly, I had no idea what was going on. Was this supposed to be a suspense story? The suspense part of the plot sure seemed thin. Was this supposed to be a romance? The romance part of the story was even thinner than the suspense.

It looked like the author just wanted these two characters to bang, so she threw in a flimsy suspense sub-plot in to avoid the PWP marker. Unfortunately, the book was so short, the characters had no way of developing properly, the heroine bugged me because she thought the hero had lied to her when he disappeared (she Googled NSA and suddenly knew what they did!), the romance was anything but (just two people attracted to one another wanting to bang), and the abrupt and rushed ending did nothing to redeem the "romance".

You know the saying "less is more". This series could've done with one story less.
