I enjoyed this story. It was nice that the heroine didn't whinge about the measures put in place to protect her. It was nice that the alpha hero wasn't totally dominating as a boyfriend. Good plot. Still not a fan of first person writing, though.

If you like Romantic suspense story’s then this is for you. The climax is exactly that, climatic! The buildup and final HEA is great. The hero and heroine have known each other from childhood. Both are likeable and it’s nice to see their relationship grow.

I love anything by L K Shaw. She is a great writer. She spins many different tails from mafia to police and others as well. Victor showed Estelle what love was. Her parents were horrible. Even though she pushed him away initially he showed her what true love and loyalty are. The story with the drug cartel kept you engaged with their relationship. Good book, recommend reading it.

I really liked the growing relationship between Estelle and Victor. At the beginning of the story I didn't care for Estelle too much, thinking she was a bit cold. But then when I found out her background, her behavior made sense. The way Estelle and Victor's relationship grew seemed natural and not rushed despite the fact that not a lot of time had elapsed.

While the writing was good, a better proofreading job would have made it better. The mistakes weren't horrible, but there were enough of them to bug me a bit. For instance, the word "gentleman" was constantly used rather than its plural form, "gentlemen." In addition, the author seldom used a comma for names in direct address. There were other mistakes, but these were the ones that stood out.

One other weakness was the rescue scene. I would think that a drug lord who's been in power for so long would have devised a better plan.

Otherwise, it was an enjoyable read.

I liked the characters. Our heroine is strong from a dysfunctional family and our hero carries a badge, but he is not an in your face alpha. There is intrigue, action, steam and a nice love story.

Interesting story with a lot of anticipation and action, violence, tears for a heartbreaking past, twists, deception, family loyalty, laughs, steamy sexy times, love, and HEA.
Estelle and Victor have known each other a long time but after a frightening experience they start becoming closer and their connection deepens the more time they spend together, eventually leading to love.
There were some minor editing errors - like wrong words - and some parts of the story dragged and had me skimming through parts.
