A crime leader has fallen for the wrong woman. She’s his hostage in a heist, and if he leaves any witnesses, his colleagues will kill them both.

A hostage isn’t supposed to develop feelings for her captor—a man who’s the antithesis of everything I stand for. And my captor isn’t supposed to see me in a way no one else ever has, let alone want to protect me from the other men who plan to end my life…

Surrendering to our unexpected feelings could spell death for us both. Especially when Easton is given a direct order: Kill me, or they’ll kill him and his brother.

Soon, our lives, along with the lives of everyone we love, are in danger. And time is running out…

You’ll love this dangerous romance (standalone with no cliffhanger) because the page-turner involving dark secrets, kidnapping, and murder will keep you glued to the pages with heart-pounding suspense and blow-your-mind twists…

This is the third book in the series and it was just a gripping as the other two! I cheered for the main couple from the very start. Talk about curves in a story! I could not put the book down. Cannot wait to receive the next book in the series! I am so happy that I discovered this talented author!

Slow burn/forbidden love

Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2022

True to the brand, this book is very YA for language and spice (no swearing and zero smut, all closed door scenes) but adult for themes explored in the book. This book follows Zoey (who we met in book one) and Easton in their forbidden love adventure. Easton and Zoey both have to grow as people to be able to question their own snap judgments to make their love for each other work. Easton in a criminal who does b&e’s for a living where Zoey has a very concrete, black and white view of the world but for whatever reason, they can’t seem to let each other go. They both go on this wild ride trying to save each other from the fall out of them being together. This book is great if you don’t like smut but want adventure and believe that law enforcement is always the good guys. I am sad though that since Zoey was such a big part of the first book, we didn’t see more tie into that.

5 Stars for this thriller!

Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2022

I love Ms. Lockheart's style of writing. Her stories always draw me in and hold me hostage (pun intended). I felt really sorry for Zoey ... she had so much responsibility placed on her when she should be enjoying her life. Easton's childhood broke my heart. He did everything to support his younger brother even if it was illegal. This is another great "who done it" and gives multiple suspects. I was going back and forth between them throughout the book and I was still surprised at the end. A great addition to the series that I highly recommend.

Zoey has become responsible for her dad since is hit and run accident and she is drowning in debt. She decides to go to her dad's repossessed condo to get her ring so she can pawn it and pay some bills. When she gets there, there are three men (Brown, Green and Orange) robbing the condo. They tie her up, blindfold her, and intend to kill her after they're done. Green is watching over her and when he recognizes her, his whole attitude changes. He will do everything to protect her even if it will get him killed.

Kinda dragged

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2023

OK so Ive had to rewrite this because apparantly my first review didn't meet community guidelines. I'm assuming it's because when I mentioned the 'spicy scenes' I made a comment about the author continually using the same dialogue to (barely) describe it. 'He pinches my chest'.... OK do you have an aversion to naming the anatomy? I did name it before and i think that's why I've had to edit it. I just didn't immediately like this book like the last 2, there was some sort of relationship development in them but not in this, while being held hostage of all things she then credits male mc with making her see how judgemental she is etc it goes on and on all woe is me about how her dad did her wrong, also some of that timeliness didn't make sense but what got me put of everything, was that apart from a mention in the beginning while she's musing to herself, at no point does it come up that she lost her boyfriend in a tragic way...is that not a big part of who you are? It seemed dismissive aswell that she kept saying (again after one night of being a hostage) that she couldn't help the outlet to him etc cue eye roll. There was just something about it that i felt was trying to be like book 2 but zoey wouldn't stop being dramatic and reflective Iver the same things for it to even match up. I'd also like to know what eastons going to do now, there was like no info other than he got out and they smiled. I give it 3 stars because aside from my personal irritation with it, 2 seemed too harsh and there's nothing wrong with the writing etc but it has put me off book 4

Things I appreciated/liked
• fml isn’t too stupid to live, thankfully. She makes some questionable choices sometimes (like going out to a bar when there’s a hit on her… ??) but generally she is intelligent and level headed.
• story had a good amount of depth to it. Often times these types of stories with the kidnapper-turned-lover trope have plots that are either as shallow as a kiddie pool or are overly complicated and convoluted. This book balanced believable plot with a good amount of action.

Issues/didn’t like (some minor spoilers):

• mmc lets the fmm get beat up pretty bad in the beginning. I get that he wasn’t in love with her yet but he didn’t bother to “stand protectively” in front of her until after the other guy nearly breaks her ribs. A little late, dude. I mean he definitely did redeem himself later, but still.
•some plot points were kind of thrown in for no apparent reason, IMO. Like the previously murdered boyfriend.. there was so much detail about the murder that I thought it would be part of the plot later, but nope. I guess it was meant to show she’s been hurt but it felt out of place in the story.
• a bit repedetive, especially with the moral of the story being, “bad choices don’t make a person evil/ unredeemable,” kinda thing. It was really hammered home a little too much.

Overall a fun read. A good mix of action and personal/relationship drama. Would’ve liked to get to know the brother more. Sex was just okay.. nothing to write home about. 🔥🔥🔥/5.

Read the first book and literally couldn't put it down so the other books probably wasn't going to live upto the first. How wrong I was. There were thrills chills and much more things that get you thinking about the other people in your life. Can't wait for Willow and Shane's story.
