She was the one who got away. The one who ripped out his heart and took it with her when she left. Cole Vincent never expected to see Evangeline Lake again. Back in the dark and bloody day, he’d been hired by her brother to save her in a mission that went straight to hell. Evangeline had been kidnapped and held for ransom, but he’d been sent in with a covert team to get her out. Thrown together … together in the dark, a stunning attraction burned through them. But she wasn’t meant to be with an ex-soldier who had a past that was littered with secrets and death. She went back to her fancy world. He went back to hunting. Tried to forget her. Case closed. There are some people you can never forget. Evangeline “Evie” Lake fell hard and fast for her tall, dark, and dangerous rescuer. Then he flew her back to her home, kissed her good-bye on the doorstep, and walked his sexy self away with looking back. He broke her heart into a million little pieces, and she swore off the “bad boys”—they were just trouble she didn’t want. Case closed. She needs help. The kind that only someone like Cole can give to her.The past is coming back to attack. Evie’s kidnapper was never caught, and when she’s nearly abducted in New York, her brother calls in the one man that he knows he can count on…the one man who has proven he can protect Evie from the worst threats out there. The one man that Evie absolutely, positively does not want to see again… The only man she’s ever loved. Cole takes the case. Becomes her bodyguard. Gets far too close to her and stirs memories that should have been dead and buried in a six foot hole. The white-hot attraction burns ever brighter between them, but Evie will not fall for him again. Will not. Except… She is. He is. They are…falling. Cole wants Evie more than anything, and this time, he won’t walk away. This time, there is nothing that can keep them apart. He’ll fight like hell for the woman he’s always loved. He finally has a second chance with Evie. He won’t screw this up. And he will not let her go again…he will prove to Evie that she can always count on him to keep her safe. She is the only one he wants. The one who owns his heart. Anyone who wants to hurt her? They have to go through him. Case closed.

Finally! A woman who handles the guy who broke her heart with fire and sass! Evie had me full on giggling when she sees Cole again after breaking her heart 2 years prior. I could never understand a woman who didn’t let the guy have it after breaking their heart.
I loved how Evie didn’t hold back and let Cole know that what he did wasn’t cool. By doing that, she could then open herself up to forgive him and make it believable. I was pretty impressed with her throughout the whole book. I respected her decisions in several instances in the book.
Cole…oh Cole. I didn’t like that he walked away, but he did sure make up for it. There is no doubt that Cole is head over heels for Evie and would do anything for her. He was protective, possessive and very jealous when any other guy even looked her way. He’s one of my favorite types of heroes, and I enjoyed the way he barreled his way back into Evie’s life and did not give up.
As always, the rest of the Wilde security guys made for some extra entertainment. I love these guys and their weird sense of humor they bring to each book. That teaser at the end makes me wish we had the next book now. I can’t wait to see what happens!
Another “Wilde Man Bites The Dust”
Action packed second chance romance.
Cole Vincent saved Evie when she was kidnapped two years ago then walked away. Now she needs him again.
Evangeline Lake fell hard for Cole and he broke her heart when he just left without a goodbye.
The long wait is over and Cole finally gets his HEA and it was everything I hoped it would be. Alpha male, protective to the core. Surprise ending and the lead into the next book. Amazing!!
