This isn’t a romance novel. It’s a crime novel with a smidgen of romance in it. I like Bybee’s other books so I was stoked to see this, but this was NOT A ROMANCE!! (Which I was disappointed about.) This is entirely about the modern day plague of sex trafficking so you are warned. (It’s a good book about sex slavery though.)

I was provided with an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"Does anything about us... Scare you?" She asked.
"I was more afraid there would never be an us."
"Now that there is?"
He shook his head. "What scares you?"
"Losing our friendship."
"That' never going to happen."

This is a romance, action and mystery all wrap up in this lovely book. So this is a first book in the series and I just can't wait for the second.
Love the main characters... Love them all.
I just loved the slow burn romance. I loveeeee how Claire was always the One for Cooper. This is I think the first book I read that the guy is the one with the deep crush, and the girl has no idea.
Claire is smart, beautiful and soo good at her job. I just love her. And Cooper is just a sweetheart. He is like lovesick puppy over Claire.
I love the action part of the book, and that for me stole the show. Romance is on the second place. And maybe I just needed a little more of romance, but this was a good read.
Really good one.
Little over 4 stars for me. Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

Mmm I'm this book was a toss up for me?! It was good had suspense and intrigue I didn't like the fact that they went back to school, not sure why but that bugged me a bit?! Its definitely worth reading just not my top favorite! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
