Untouchable by Cindy Skaggs

I was not familiar with this author when I chose this book. I really chose it more for the publisher, Entangled, since I tend to enjoy the books I get from them. Their Ignite label has a bit of a darker edge where the lines between good and bad blur just enough to make things interesting. This story was no different. Sofia has barely escaped the mob life she unwittingly married into and been given an unheard of divorce. Though she and her young son live alone now, they still are not free. Her ex has bodyguards and others watching her every move. Law enforcement also has eyes on her constantly due to suspicions that she remains connected to the mob. In short, Sofia lives under a microscope fearing her home is bugged and her belongings infiltrated with trackers. She has no peace. When her plan to escape with her son backfires, she inadvertently makes contact with Logan, an FBI agent undercover spying on her. Fearing she cannot go through with her plan, she ditches Logan and rushed to pick up her son only to find he is missing. Making a split second decision, Logan decides to follow Sofia and coerce her into letting him help her with her troubles. From that point on, he is sucked into the danger and illegalities of Sofia's world. Sofia doesn't want Logan's help, doesn't want him to get hurt, but will stop at nothing to save her son. The hunt for Sofia's son, Eli, takes the two into several dangerous situations but also has them warming up to each other. Unfortunately, Sofia's ex is determined to keep her an untouchable unless Logan is willing to take the one step that will free her and her son forever.

I enjoyed the story and how Sofia, the "ice queen" stated opening up to Logan. Sofia was strong yet vulnerable at the same time. She didn't let her fears stop her from making some bold decisions, but tended to be so distrustful that she never had help when she needed it. Thankfully, Logan was able to anticipate many of her decisions and help her despite all of her secrets and the risks to his future.

I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
