Really great read!

I liked the characters in this book, they were intelligent and interesting and the action and suspense was really enjoyable. I didn’t have to wade through page after page of sex, but what there was of it was pretty intense because of that. I am a fan, Ms. Lee!

Started so good....

The prologue was an immediate catch. Well written,heart-wrenching,i was looking forward to a decent “intelligent” story. After the two main characters meet,it just went to formula smart assery and dumb. The usual inane sarcastic banter. The smart,adept reporter, going stupid around the he-man, rough tough talking ex special forces now FBI agent. They just met yet a couple hours later team up(all facts revealed) to go after a big human trafficker. Dropping everything and taking off with not a plan in sight. Good lord. I couldn’t stand either one. We know what’s coming. The narrator was even more annoying at times with ending most sentences on a “down voice”. DNF

Great Narration

I liked the book and I liked the characters, but the story line was a little choppy/quick - not particularly well developed. Nevertheless, it kept my interest and I would definitely read another book by Rachel Lee. I will say, however, that without Therese Plummer as narrator - it might not have been half as interesting. Therese might be the best narrator out there - she can make a mediocre book good and a good book great!

Great Book, More Action Adventure than Romance

Fast-moving, never boring. Some foul language, Deals with sex trafficking and can be hard to listen to in places, but that is only due to the subject matter, not the writing or narration. Therese Plummer does a good job with the female characters both adult and child. I am not crazy about her male voices but they are distinct one from another and different than the females. Overall a very good book.

Proceed with caution

This was not at all what I expected from a Harlequin book in the Romance Package. Intense and graphic scenes of human trafficking and all the brutality that entails.

It's a reasonably well done story and Therese Plummer is one of the best narrators around but I would not go down this road again.
