Publisher's summary

Angel Calloway is anything but angelic in this thrilling new Nauti novel from New York Times best-selling author Lora Leigh.

Angel Calloway isn't the girl next door. Known for being rude and cursing like a sailor on a bender, she's meaner than the two mercenaries she's followed since she was young. Needing anyone is not what she's about. Or so she thought. Until she found the mother she was taken from so long ago, Chaya Mackay, wife to the notorious Natches Mackay.

One night with Angel and devilishly sexy marine Reece Duquaine was hooked. She nearly blew his head off, and, moments later, she blew his mind. He's been after her ever since, wrestling with a desire that fights to consume him. But now he has her in his sights and is ready to take his shot. Unless someone else moves in for the kill first.

So much emotions!

I have been a huge fan of Lora Leigh for years and remember reading and enjoying the original Nauti books quite awhile ago so when I saw this book available in the Audible Romance Package, I had snapped it up. I thought the narrator, Manxie Hardy did a great job with all the different characters. I felt all the emotions.

Right from the very beginning, your heart is torn in two. What Angel/Beth endured at the age of three was gut wrenching but she survived. She was adopted by mercenaries who taught her to be the bada$$ she is now. It is now 20 years later and she is facing her past and all the hurt she had been carrying. As painful as it is for her, she confronts the mother who she thought abandoned her, but she is determined to protect her sister and that is all that matters to her. The hero in this story is Duke Mackay, one of the younger cousins of the original Nauti boys. He has been shadowing Angel for quite awhile and knows her secrets. When those secrets are revealed to all, he is there to shoulder her pain and is determined to be by her side, I absolutely loved this about him.

As much as I enjoyed this story, I did feel a bit lost at times. I want to say this is a standalone, but there is a relationship that had already developed between Duke and Angel and I must not have read those books. But the connection and chemistry is strong and I was so happy to see Angel finding some peace.

Being the huge fan of Lora Leigh that I am, it is usually the love story between the main characters that I love the most, but in this one, I think what really resonated and really got me in the feels was the relationship between Angel and Chaya. Listening to this audio during my commute to work and then continuing on at home, I had tears running down my face throughout this book. There was so much hurt and anger Angel had towards Chaya and what she believed had happened. And then to get Chaya’s side was so heart-breaking. I did have a hard time on how cold Chaya was towards Angel, even if her heart was breaking too. There was not enough communication between these two. Then to see the love that Chaya and Natches still have for each other was wonderful.

Overall, another great story by Lora Leigh, I really need to dig up my paperbacks of the first books in the Nauti series and do a re-read now.

Another powerful romantic mystery

Terrific, so many exciting things going on, the story and characters carried a big emotional punch. The Nauti Boys played a big part in this story and gave us answers from Chia’s past. Hope their teenagers get their story one day.

Awesome

I haven’t cried this hard for a while. Such a lovely story. Going to continue listening to more of Lora Leigh’s books!
