Happily ever after doesn’t come easy. But for love, it’s always worth the fight.

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest. Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past threatens to turn their world upside down.

Dangerous people from his father’s world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time. And they’re willing to do anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back. Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this new threat arises. Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well. She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s only option. And this is one of them. If she’s to live, she must trust Cash with her life. But to Olivia, that’s much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart.

Kim's Review:


I want to be worth the risk. I want her to finally fall for the right guy.

This book starts right after Down to You ends so it is important to read it first. Cash is back and he is hotter than ever...and sweeter too. He is still cocky, but also loving and protective too. Olivia got on my nerves many times during this book because the girl still has trust issues. And they have a lot to deal with so things of course did not go right to happily ever after...

Not only did I do exactly what I knew I shouldn't--get involved with another bad boy--but I went and picked one that actually has a dangerous past. He's not just dangerous to my heart; he's dangerous period!

"Can you trust me? Please! I know I've not given you many reasons to, but this one time, just go with your heart. I promise you, promise you, I won't let you down."


I really cannot say much without giving away some of the story. So just know there is danger, excitement, fighting, bad guys, surprises, and lots of sex. And in the midst of all the chaos, you see Cash and Olivia trying to continue to build their relationship.

"Trust in what you know about me. Because I know, if you stop listening to your fear, you know who I am. Deep down. You know me, Olivia. You know me."

Somehow when I wasn't looking, I fell I fell hard. For my soul mate. For the love of my life. For my hero.

Cash broke all the rules, broke all my rules. He's not giving me reason to run. He's giving me reason to stay. And all I have to do is muster the courage to do it, to take the chance. 

And we get to meet a couple of other hunky guys in this book too. This book leads right up to Book 3 and I am looking forward to seeing where that takes us. I do not think I enjoyed this one quite as much as Down to You, but it was still an enjoyable read and I loved visiting with these characters again.
