I unfortunately forgot to download the e-book on my kindle before it was archived so I wasn’t able to read and review it (on time). Since I Must give a star rating, I’ve given it 3 stars to stay neutral/in the middle. Sorry to the publisher for not having gotten around to actually read it.

Great romantic read with low drama. Fast paced novel with a great build world. Perfect read for an afternoon. Arc provided by Netgalley

First time for this author with the adventure being the lure. What a vacation with not one I would of planned. I don't think anyone does with thinking and I will take a spot of terror with that. As Tessa gets her terror you are sucked in with the "vacation"and wrong thoughts. Then there is Kris whom plays a double role but with good reasons. They also will get a added bonus with this story that builds with it being more than she bargains for as a gift that this will give. Given all the emotions that will filter through you will find yourself side by side with them seeing what lies at the end of this "vacation".

Received in exchange for a honest review.

This was interesting.

Tessa is one that is in the wrong place at the wrong time and being dragged into something because of a supposed friend. A friend that is in over her head and doesn’t really know how to get out of it.

Kris is undercover and his reasoning for going into this work is sad. He is trying to get justice for his parents in a round about way by removing the drugs and the drug lords so no one else is hurt.

their paths cross by accident due to Tessa’s friend and her being mistaken as a drug mule and here is when the chemistry and interesting turn of events occur.

We see Tessa fear Kris at first but not as much as the others. She is smart and hard working but also doesn’t know Kris so she fears since she has been in danger since being taken. So she eyes him warily. Over time as he shows her kindness and protects her she comes to consider him her protector. As they talk at night when he is keeping her from harm from the others, she submits to the chemistry they have between them and more develops. But she never really truly trusts him because she wants to protect her friends.

Kris is a strong, caring man. Meeting Tessa puts him in a crossroads. He admires her loyalty and strength and wants to help her. He is also falling for her and this puts his uncover operation in danger. Can he protect her, fall in love and succeed at doing his job? Things get complicated for him and the untangling is filled with danger and suspense that has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see how this turns out for them. I loved watching Kris struggle with himself and what to do. In the end we truly see how amazing kris is and where he belongs.

A suspenseful romance filled with sensual scenes, trust building, loyalty love and support. Where we see two people evolve and show strength and character in adverse conditions as they fall in love and find a way to survive the situation they are in for different reasons.

In order to celebrate the home Tessa has just purchased she and her roommate Heather head to Mexico to enjoy a vacation with her best friend who lives there. While at a club she is mistaken for someone else and ends up being kidnapped by the Mexican Cartel.

Kris is an undercover agent who has managed to infiltrate the upper echelon of the Cartel. When he first saw Tessa at the club he was attracted to her but when he finds out that she and her friend are now his captives he must walk the line between treating her right and being too nice to her and drawing the attention of others in the cartel. Before too long they are unable to deny their attraction to each other but will he be able to keep her safe?

I enjoyed the first story that I have ready by this author. The storyline has a good combination of suspense and steam that keeps you interested until the end.
