Publisher Description
I had one job. One responsibility. Lust wasn't a distraction I had time for, and love was even further off the table. My career was demanding and required my undivided attention, which left little time for romance. But when my sister went missing after meeting a guy from the same dating app as the beautiful— way too young for me— college student that I had been assigned to protect, everything changed.
Keeping Hannah safe was my top priority, along with finding my sister. But the closer Hannah and I got, the more clouded my vision became. She was as sweet as she was innocent, and things needed to stay that way. The only problem was that in order to keep her safe— she had to stay with me until the threat was handled.
Living in cramped quarters, I was up close and personal with all of the reasons why I couldn't get involved with Hannah. With chemistry so combustible it could set the world on fire, we knew we had to keep our distance. One wrong move could be fatal with her stalker constantly five steps ahead.
Customer Reviews
Interesting suspense
This was an intriguing romantic suspense. Hannah’s story is what I tended to lean towards as I went through the book, and her desire for independence was so clearly shown. It’s just sad that the chance she gets for it comes with a dangerous stalker. I will say that despite the age difference, her and Max have SO much chemistry between them and you almost expect it to be lit on fire. As he works to protect her, can he also find his sister?
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Suspenseful and Sexy
Whew. This story was interesting and intense. There were some pretty slow parts, but overall I truly enjoyed it! Hannah and Max’s relationship started slowly, and I liked that it wasn’t instant. Though I really love insta-love books, it would not have fit with this story. Hannah was really childish a few times, causing some serious eye rolling, but that ending was so sweet.
