Kingsley and Sydney come together when the Alliance Agency is hired to find Sydney who is “missing”. Sydney was a victim of a horrible assault as a teenager, and the person responsible isn’t done with her just yet. However, Kingsley and the Alliance staff will do everything within their power to keep her safe.
Sydney and Kingsley’s relationship was a sweet one, and he is careful to not overstep, due to her past. I liked how Sydney’s story will continue within the agency, even though she’s not a trained team member. I also loved the little epilogue at the end.
Though I don’t feel there was as much heat and suspense, romantically, as the other couples in this series, I still enjoyed reading their story.
4.5 stars — From beginning to end, there is no doubt that Kingsley and Sydney belong together. They have great chemistry in a story that isn’t always pretty. Plenty of action keeps the story moving forward at a good clip. Past traumas are visited in some detail and maybe painful for some to read. If you can, this is a great story.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The story of love of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
