Summary:

Driven by grief and fury, Shea Monroe, and operative for Last Chance Rescue, goes deep undercover, vowing vengeance against the man who killed her husband. Instead, she ends up a captive and the unwilling weapon of a vicious human trafficker. But then she is rescued from her den or terror and shame by her husband's best friend, Ethan Bishop, a man Shea feels irrevocably drawn to, despite her having lost all memory of her life before she was captured.

Having saved Shea from a madman, Ethan will do anything to keep her safe, but he can't allow the feelings he once had for her to resurface. While recovering from her ordeal and regaining her lost memory, Shea begins to fall for Ethan. But the treachery and tragedies of the past won't leave either of them alone. And from Mexico, a monster has sent his foot soldiers to seize Shea--using a weapon beyond anyone's worst nightmare.

My Thoughts:

I liked this book! It was interesting, and slightly creepy. I was defiantly hooked though and had a hard time putting it down.

Shea and Ethan are incredibly interesting characters. With their pasts, the ops they worked together on with LCR, and their past love life, they are well developed and interesting. I loved both Shea and Ethan's personalities and enjoyed the bickering between them. Their feelings for each other were incredible. It was easy to feel the emotions between them, even from the beginning when Shea's memory was still damaged. I really thought Reece did awesome with that.

Shea's experience with the bad guy in Mexico is beyond my imagination. That's what made this book a little creepy. Not only was the guy completely insane, but the things that he did to his captors was unimaginable. So, when Ethan decides he's going to rescue Shea, you can't help but pull for him in all ways. I couldn't wait to figure out all the memories that Shea was trying to find, hoping that in the end those memories would send her into Ethan's arms.

Overall, this was my first Reece book and won't be my last. Reece's ability to make the reader feel all throughout the book was well done. Though this book was nothing super-duper, it was an enjoying and quick read.
