MY REVIEW


Roger's father has been taken, and Roger and his team are on the mission to rescue him. They've got help from his father's assistant, Harlow, who is proving to be someone other than a simple assistant. But who/what exactly is Harlow? Soon she and Roger are racing the clock to stop whoever's taken his father, and who appear to have an ominous agenda. Along the way, the chemistry between them ignites, but Harlow's got serious trust issues, and Roger will have to work double time to overcome them. AFTER they complete their mission.


Harlow, like Roger, has father issues. But hers are of a different kind, and everything that's happened in her life has left her with deep scars inside. Then along comes Roger, and though they're working toward the same goal, the same mission, their chemistry is something that can't be ignored. She's coming to like being around him, and she isn't sure she can trust what's happening will be something they can continue after they're no longer on the same team. But they might, if she can open herself up to all the possibilities.


This is the first I've read by Kenzie, but after this, it definitely won't be the last. There's action, suspense, two deeply layered and likable leads who have smokin' hot chemistry - what's not to love? This world is a very intriguing one, so I'm about to dive into their world and read all the past installments, and am looking forward to more to come.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
