I gave this a 4.5/5 rating. Samantha is a strong and resilient woman who was sold into human trafficking. In order to avoid being trafficked, she instead became an enforcer for her boss. She is still just as trapped into a lifestyle she hates and cannot escape. Diesel is an operative for a group dedicated to helping people in trouble just like Samantha. The two meet when Samantha is on the run from a couple of her boss's muscle. Sam runs into a saloon, seeing Diesel seated at the bar, she goes to him, sits on his lap, kisses him, while whispering for him to play along. Diesel then helps her by stalling the men while Sam tries to make her getaway. Will Diesel be able to help Sam get out of this life she is a prisoner to? Will Sam trust Diesel enough to allow him to help her?
I truly enjoyed this book. It is action packed with plot twists. I love Sam's character. She is a strong and courageous woman who is doing what she must in order to survive. I love that Diesel is a protector. The chemistry between the too is palpable. I like that we get a look inside the world of human trafficking and a look at some people trying to make a difference. I did not like that this book is a cliffhanger. In order to know what happens in the end, you will have to get the next book when it comes out.
If you enjoy the work of Lori Ryan or Julie Ann Walker and you don't mind cliffhangers, you will likely enjoy this book as well.
