Bad boy Finn James and rich-girl-turned-undercover-agent Gretchen Christensen have known each other their entire lives, but when Gretchen is sent to infiltrate the shady world Finn inhabits, they’ll have to depend on each other to keep their secrets. Gretchen has been in love with her older brother’s friend for years, but Finn doesn’t think he’s capable or worthy of love. When she comes back into his life, he can’t deny his attraction to her or his desire to protect her. As his interest in her gains dangerous attention from his supposed allies, he’s forced to surrender to his feelings and decide which version of his life he is willing to live permanently.
There’s romance, mystery, action, and a good, healthy dose of steamy passion—all in one book. You become one with the plot and with the characters and you won’t want to put this book down. Great writing, HM!
If you are looking for a badass female lead, this book is for you. Thomas had me hooked from the beginning, and deeply invested in the characters. The pacing is great, and a handful of small twists added some nice color to the whole story.
