After an explosion leaves
detective Grant Caldwell scarred he quits his job and tries to hide from his
well-meaning family while he heals. When Belle Manikas, a beautiful new
neighbor, moves in next door with problems of her own he finds himself drawn to
her even while he tells himself she’s nothing but trouble. Even though he knows
he’d never have a chance with a woman like her—not with his disfigurement—he
can’t stay away.
Thanks to severe health
problems as a child Belle grew up sheltered and smothered by her loving, if
overbearing, family. Now that she’s finally out on her own she plans to wring
everything she can out of life. When she sets her sights on her brooding
neighbor nothing can stop her from getting him into bed—until a madman fixates
on her.
With Grant now working for Red
Stone Security, he sees it as his duty to protect her at all costs.
Unfortunately a violent criminal is stalking Belle and will stop at nothing
until he’s destroyed her.
Grant was hurt, he’s self-conscious
and not sure where he wants to go with his life. Enter his sexy neighbor, Belle
Manikas, she’s gorgeous and he’s sure she won’t like him because of his scars,
but when she’s in trouble he has to help her. I liked Grant when I met him the
first book in the series, he’s a seriously protective and sexy man.
My one issue is how easily
Belle was on board with moving in with Grant so easily, I know she was in
danger, but I guess I expected her to put up more of a fight about it. I did
love the suspense in this plot and really felt for Belle, she finally moves out
and then everything possible goes wrong.
Together Grant and Belle are
perfect and I can honestly say that they’re a favorite couple of mine. They complement
each other beautifully. I definitely
recommend this story.
Duly noted, thanks for the review :)
