What an emotional journey! Tyson and Izzy meet at a party and wow! Instant chemistry, instant love - a spectacular night together followed by ... silence. Talk about a missed connection! This part was such fun to read, right up until the bottom fell out of their plans and they lost each other. Their love story, even though it spanned only a matter of hours, was exquisitely done and intensely captivating. Oh, how great things could have been!
But the second part - when they meet up again - wow! Tyson is so sweet and ready to pick up right where he left off, until he learns what Izzy has been doing during their separation. Then, he's a man on a mission. Let me tell you, this alpha version of Tyson with a huge problem to solve is one hot, sexy, and determined man! His journey to secure Izzy's safety takes him to places - and people - he swore he'd never need, and what he finds there is as surprising as it is heartwarming. Tyson loses so much in this battle and my heart ached for him and shared his grief. When he and Izzy finally get their HEA, the relief was palpable.
The writing in this book is amazing. The plot moved swiftly, the character development was on point, and I was hooked right from the very start. This is the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. I need to go find her Crystal Jake series to catch up on the crossover characters that were in this story. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
