MY REVIEW

LOVED IT!! And because nothing about it prompted any negative thoughts out of me, it deserves 5 stars!! I enjoyed the characters, the plot, the suspense, the romance, the EVERYTHING!!

Detective Gray Yates has major trust issues just like the blurb says. After trusting the wrong person while doing a tour in Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of most of his unit and one too many children, he's closed himself off to attachments. No trust means no one gets too close. His strict by-the-book, black-and-white world gets knocked for a loop when he finds a sizzling connection with One Police Plaza's administrative assistant, Alex. He knows that she's hiding something and he's determined to find out what.

Alex Romano was a single mom, intelligent, beautiful, and trying to make ends meet while paying for her son's leukemia treatments. Really tugged on the ol' heartstrings with that one. She's an incredible mother and this story is really about the lengths she'll go to in order to protect her child. Targeted by an international organization of assassins and mercenaries, known as the Pyramid, all of her carefully buried secrets rise to the surface and her and her son are now in danger. Can Gray ever understand and forgive her lies? Or will his rigid control over his heart and lack of trust mark the end of their love of a lifetime? And just what is HE willing to do to ensure the safety of those he loves???
