Book Review
It is no secret I'm a huge fan of Kristen Ashley! Yes I will admit I was Internet stalking this one lol. The alpha males in Mrs. Ashley books always leave me with as smile on my face. This one was no exception. Raiden Ulysses miller.... My goodness FINE, SEXY, BADBOY marine, I love a man in uniform hehe!
This is Hanna and raids story. Hanna is the quiet, sweet spirited girl next door. Many would describe her as pretty but HOMELY looking. She is a woman who takes care of her elderly grandmother, has a business making Luxury Afghans, and is a book worm. Also her family has Creole Louisiana roots! I fell in love with Hanna's character. Well she has been in love with Raiden Ulysses Miller since she was a little girl. Unfournately, he never noticed her, until she hit his radar for a case he was working on. Let’s just say when he finally saw her she wasn’t the HOMELY woman many described. Its amazing was a new haircut, wardrobe, and new sports car can do, LOL.

Let’s talk a little bit about Raid… Well to sum him up SEXY, hot bad boy is pretty much it. Now out the marines, he is contracted to HANDLE problems for some pretty powerful people. His employer at the time is none other than KINGHT himself (yes he makes an appearance in this book, as well as Creed to; SIGH). His assignment has lead him to Hanna’s place of business for suspicion of drug smuggling. Well let’s just say not a great idea to finally make a play for a woman who has loved you forever, and then let her find out it’s all a job…..Ya she wasn’t too happy.
As this story plays out, the chemistry between Raid and Hanna is HOT! However, sometimes is attraction/chemistry enough? Raid is a stubborn man with some serious demons and a temper. Though his feelings for Hanna were strong he struggled to let her completely in. We always here communication is key in relationships, lol. The relationship that Raid/Hanna try to build is one with some happy moments and plenty of DARK ones as well. I loved how in the beginning of the book Hanna seemed timid, but toward the end she got some backbone. Yup she fought for the man she loved. After all these years, she finally had him and wasn’t letting go (sigh).
The secondary characters in this book, I loved. My favorite was Hanna’s Grandmother. My favorite quote of this book came from GRAM:
“Said what I said and I’ll end it with this. If you’re the kind of woman who can withstand the blaze of hellfire he’s got burning inside, he battles that and wins, you will know nothing for the rest of your life, no taste, no experience, not even the birth of your children that will be sweeter than the love he’ll have for you.”—Gram
I Love you GRAM!!!
I loved this book. I loved this series. My only thing is I felt the first two books had more action/ drama. Good job Mrs. Ashley on a great series.
Cheers,
