This book started right where book one ended, and it immediately took off with tension and suspense that had me fidgeting the entire time. Whereas book 1 was centered on building up the characters and their attraction towards each other, this one was at a faster pace packed with intense emotions as well as a touch of suspense/thriller. Angel was involved in a high profile case as a criminal profiler, and she was getting serious threats. When it was apparent that Alex would be in the line of fire, she was willing to do anything to keep him safe, even it that meant leaving him and his adorable dog Max. What she didn't count on was Alex's determination to keep her in his life. She knew what he was before they met: emotionally unavailable and a casual-relationship-type of guy. But "before he met her" being the operative word. She didn't anticipate how invested and involved Alex would be in her life, or the lengths he was willing to go through to protect her. His caveman alter ego was back in full force! Alex Avery was seriously one of the sexiest book boyfriends I had ever read! Alex was still reeling with the knowledge that he could feel so intensely about a woman and his thoughts consumed by her. But he didn't back down, didn't fear the unknown. He forged ahead despite being unprepared to how Angel filled his heart and at the same time rendered it wide open to pain. Alex was a man used to having the world at his fingertips who suddenly felt vulnerable and helpless because Angel evoked feelings in him that although unfamiliar, was very welcome. Second-guessing himself or his effect on a woman was foreign to him, until Angel came along. His predicament before her involved how to divest himself of a woman's attachment, but he spent a great deal of time thinking of ways to keep Angel. Angel lost a little of her alpha character in this book. Her fears took over her spunk, but Alex's qualities were consistent and even magnified as he fought for Angel. Alex alone would make this book deserving of a five-star. Their connection was so intense it will suck you in as a reader. Their attraction was raw, unprecedented, uncontrollable, bordering on obsession. These two can heat up the sheets to cause forest fire! In Angel's words:“We can’t be in the same room without wanting to rip each other’s clothes off. It’s not healthy.”Well, who needs to be healthy when you have Alex Avery, Mr. Passion Personified, warming your bed? Lol!On to book 3 now for more of the addicting sexy hunk!
