MY REVIEW
Lainie's no longer Nick's sister's awkward, nerdy friend. Well, she's still his sister's friend, but now she's all grown up into the beautiful, intelligent and highly successful CEO of her own company. She's also been receiving graphic death threats that have Nick's protective (and otherwise) instincts buzzing. Nick may have spent years trying to keep his feelings for Lainie hidden deep inside, but knowing she's in danger means now he's going to be in her orbit, in her personal space, and he just knows keeping those feelings hidden is going to be harder than ever. Will he give into the chemistry that's only gotten stronger over the years since the explosive kiss they shared years ago?
Lainie's had a crush on her best friend Nola's big brother, Nick, nearly her whole life. But he's never acknowledged anything between them since that kiss they shared. When she starts receiving death threats and her company is hit with cyber attacks, who better to come to her rescue than Nick? A former SEAL, former CIA operative and current security specialist? She's sworn off men, thanks to some less than great exes, though, so she'll have to remember that when the heat between her and Nick threatens to finally combust. Will Nick be able to protect more than just her body? Or will her heart be a casualty in the deadly game someone's playing with her life?
This is an excellent way to start a new series. I am always fond of the friend's brother trope, and Anna has done well by it with Lainie and Wolf's story. She's awesome - smart, sassy and strong. The chemistry between her and Nick was obvious from their very first scene together, and I was rooting them on so hard for Nick to let go of his guilt and claim his woman. There are some new players also, whose stories I am really looking forward to - Nick's boss Killian, introduced in the last Norcross story, The Protector, especially is someone I've got to read more about. But not just him, there's Hades and Matteo and Hex, hacker extraordinaire. I am really impatient now for this new series!
