Brooks Alexander made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from Darcy, and he knows it. He didn’t have the full story and jumped to conclusions, breaking the heart and trust of the only woman he wants.

Darcy hasn’t gotten over the hurt Brooks caused when he didn’t trust her, but she has tried to put him in her past. Her wedding planning business is growing steadily and keeps her from dwelling on her own heartbreak, too much. When she overhears a conversation that puts her in danger, she has nowhere to turn except to the man who broke her heart.

I love the way this story jumps right into the action and suspense while also building the chemistry and connection between Brooks and Darcy. Though they had been together before, they needed the time to build a bridge over their past. I felt like maybe some of their history had played out in a previous Redemption Harbor book (I haven’t read book 2) but enough of their history was recounted here that I didn’t feel like I missed anything. It was more a sense that events were already in motion.

The connection between them rebuilds in an organic, if abbreviated, manner. But part of what I love about romantic suspense is that the strong sense of danger amplifies all emotions and characters fall faster and harder. Because these two were involved in the past, their speedy time frame fits even better.

This book was filled with danger and suspense, forgiveness and second chances. It had me turning pages as fast as I could, completely engrossed in the agitation of what would happen if the danger caught up to Darcy. The Redemption Harbor Consulting crew is back, with some great interaction between all the men, as well as Olivia, Valencia, and Skye. This is a tight-knit group of friends that works hard and loves harder. 

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
