His words… his touch. They both somehow begin to calm me in this cold, hard nightmare where I should be screaming for my life. Begging to be released and freed from any man who thinks he can buy me. But for some reason, that’s not how he makes me feel. I’m not sure if my body and mind have just given up at this point or if my gut instincts are right about him. Either way, I’d much rather take my … take my chances fighting off one man than an entire room of people out to ruin me. ~ Aubrie
My father was an assassin. He trained his four sons and single daughter to be the same. We were barely eight when he put a gun in our hands and pushed his passion on us. Call me f*cked up, but I smile when I take the shot every damn time I make the kill. It’s the only thing that makes me feel alive… until I see her again.
Aubrie Winters has always been off limits for the King Brothers since she’s my best friend’s younger sister. We all made that agreement when we were in high school. We didn’t want him near our sister either, so that made it easy enough to stay clear of Brie. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t always had my eyes on her. ~Gabriel King

If you’re looking for a quick, hot read this is a good choice
This was recommended by a friend and the blurb was interesting, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’d read a book or two by this author a couple of years ago and had the impression of them being decent reads but not really quite what I’m looking for, and this book didn’t change that opinion.
I liked Gabriel, especially his protectiveness, but I had more trouble connecting to Aubrie, though they had lots of chemistry together. There were plenty of intriguing secondary characters like Alex (Aubrie’s brother) and Victoria (Gabriel’s sister) and the setup was interesting as well.
Lots of action, lots of heat and interesting setup and characters, the story just lacked a little something for me. More background, more detail, I don’t know…just more. At the end of the day, if you’re looking for a quick, hot read this is a good choice, it’s just not quite my taste. 3.5 stars
A great quick read that I absolutely loved. It offered everything from humor to suspense to romance.
“He pulls me tight against him and kisses me like he did the first time we kissed. Like he’s kissed me very days since we gave into this connection. And I kissed him back just as hard.”
Aubrie and Gabriel have known each other for years, after all Gabriel is her brother’s best friend. But don’t let that fool you. This is not your average friends to lovers. Brie finds herself in a horrible situation and fears for her life. When she thinks all hope is gone a mysterious stranger intervenes and nothing in her life will ever be the same.
This novella may have read quickly but the characters were developed well. I didn’t feel as though their characters were cheated in anyway, but I would love a full length novel of them someday or maybe of other characters.
I would recommend this book to anyone.

Gabriel and Brie have been around each other for years. They annoyed each other growing up but there was something there deep below. So when Gabriel finds Brie is a horrible situation he steps in without her knowledge! However, she’s strong one and things start to heat up. This is a fast paced book that will have you finishing it in one setting. I absolutely loved the chemistry between the two and love how it all turned out in the end! I can’t wait for more from the King family!
