I enjoyed this a whole lot more than the first one.
It's an action packed second chance romance.

I liked the idea of the first book in this series better than I did the execution, so when I saw this one, I was interested. And, that interest paid off in this book.
Court and Lauren were together a number of years ago, and they had a relationship that was ended by the threat of another person. As you do when you have something taken from you against your own choice, you don't let it go as easily as you do when it is by choice.
When they see one another again, there is an instant recognition, and Court wants to see where they are again, Lauren is less interested. Some time passes from this first re-introduction, and they are in the same place, with Court interested in moving forward together and Lauren reluctant to pursue any relationship. Court has no idea why. The reader knows the secret of Lauren's abusive ex.
I liked the idea that they both had secrets that they had to let one another in on in order to move forward.
I liked Court and Lauren and I liked their relationship with one another. There was an appeal to the idea that they were still drawn to one another, and to the idea that the threat of her ex stopped her from being with him, and that the threat of what could happen to him at work could also keep them apart.
The characters were likable, and I thought the plot was pretty good, although I thought too much time was spent with the stuff with the ex and that could have been used to develop their relationship.
I recommend this book.

Three Stars
Book 2 in the series is similar to book 1 in the sense that it’s very well written, has really likeable characters BUT the suspense element is super implausible! No matter the suspension of belief it is NOT believable that the Gentry brothers are undercover, certainly not when their undercover and non-undercover lives intersect so much and at this point pretty much EVERYONE has been told they’re FBI. I do care about this family though, so I plan to read Nate’s book.
