This was my first experience with this author. As I started reading, I discovered this was book two in a series. Despite not having read book one, I had no difficulties keeping up with this story. It focused on the long standing relationship between Dwayne and Brooke. Friends for forever, Dwayne stepped in when Brooke's husband left her and her daughter. He has practically raised Brooke's seventeen year old daughter and considers Hailey and Brooke his even though he and Brooke have never been more than friends, and he has been with plenty of other women. Just as the two begin having thoughts of more than friendship, Hailey is kidnapped into a possible sex trafficking ring. It will take police detective, Dwayne, and all of his law enforcement brothers to find a way to save her. Brooke refuses to be left out of the search, and the constant close proximity between her and Dwayne causes their chemistry to build even while it begins to tear them apart. This begins on an intensely emotional back and forth which takes their relationship to new heights but then drops it to the depths of new lows all while the search for Hailey goes from days to weeks.
I enjoyed the characters in this story, especially Dwayne's brothers. The emotions were intense with the suspense surrounding Hailey's abduction. Though the subject matter of sex trafficking is very disturbing, the details were very minimal and not written gratuitously at all.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
