My 5-star review:
(Police romance, age gap, forced proximity, female in danger, alpha male)
This is Gable and Athena’s story.
Lani Lynn Vale does it AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.
She writes another freaking amazing police romance book with a delicious alpha male who made me swoon nonstop…even when I was mad at him…and a sassy, sweet and quirky female who I could easily be best friends with.
Gable Carter, the male main character and police officer,…YUM. I don’t need to say anything else.
Athena, the main female main character, is quirky, sweet, SO SMART and a bad@ss. She has been through so much. Her sister was kidnapped when she was little and proceeds to lose everyone in her life. Except for the terrible person who is her mom. Her mom is selfish and uses Athena constantly. Luckily she is surrounded by amazing friends and the Carter family. This book is her story. You learn more about what happened to her sister, what her mother is hiding and experience the love that is possible in her own found family. Also, there is delicious tension and blazing hot chemstry…SO GOOD.
I don’t know what Lani does to make her stories so incredibly addicting, captivating and interesting but she does it book after book!
BLURB
Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.
