This was a fantastic romance!
It started out with a bang and kept me glued to my kindle! I couldn’t stop reading! I loved Lake and Josh! They were perfect for each other. It was an emotional, heart touching, make you laugh and cry and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next story! There’s a bit of suspense and danger from Lake’s crazy ex. I loved Closing The Gap! I can’t wait for the next book in the Dangerous Pasts series!
This is an intense story about two wounded people. Lake and Josh have both had their hearts broken and been betrayed by those they trusted. Because of this they both carry heavy emotional baggage and have big trust issues. I liked these characters and enjoyed seeing them be drawn together, their hearts thaw and opening themselves up to love again. With drama, suspense and danger, this book keeps you engaged.
I couldn’t get enough of Lake and Josh (aka The Trashman). Lake is having trouble moving past her horrific marriage and is surpisingly interested in Josh. I loved the sparks that fly between the two! Danger is right around the corner for these two and it may just pull them apart forever.
Colleen always makes me feel the emotions of the characters
Book 1 of the Dangerous Past Series…it was full of romance, suspense and a psycho! The story of Lake and Josh (aka Trashman) are one of my favorite books by Colleen Charles! Looking forward to books 2 & 3 in the series!
