Narrado por: Christian Black, Laurie West

What happens when the one you trust becomes the one you shouldn't?

Paxton

My boss was killed by his wife. I know this to be true, but I can't prove it. Now someone is coming after his tantalizing daughter, Alicia. I couldn't protect her father. To honor his memory, I will use every ounce of my training and expertise as a Navy SEAL to keep Alicia safe... even if it costs my life.

Alicia

My father's death was ruled an accident. I know it wasn't. When I could finally bring myself to go through his things, I stumbled onto a secret as shocking as it is dangerous. Someone doesn't want the truth exposed and will kill to keep it buried. Paxton works for the security team my father owned and vows to protect me. Now, he's the only one I can trust as danger closes in.

Mixed feelings - nothing stood out as great or bad

I did not vibe with both narrators (one was a miss) and felt that both plot and romance were prioritized equally though neither ended up being captivating to make the story memorable. Also, the author only ever described the mmc as looking like a well known actor (multiple times- both in the beginning and end of the book). For me, this turned me off to the story right away. I do not want to picture a real person in a fictional setting. I wish authors would not do this. I do not think it has the desired effect they think it will?
