Lillian Jacobson was a very happy four year old. She had two loving parents and an older brother who put all other brothers to shame.
Everything changed one horrible night when her entire world was savagely torn apart. Her parents were brutally murdered in front of her eyes and she was left with a bullet wound in her shoulder as a constant reminder of the tragedy. Now she and her brother are living their lives in constant fear; every day a fight for survival.After years of relative safety under witness protection, their situation turns from bad to worse. Betrayed by a man who swore to protect them, her brother is taken by the same people who ended her parents lives years before. She is moved to a secure location under the protection of two agents, but a complication arises that she never saw coming. She begins to fall for both men, who are also falling for her. When a letter arrives bearing the ultimatum, βSurrender yourself or your brother dies,β she must find a way to suppress her desires or she may never see her brother alive again.
Shannon’s Thoughts
I had picked this book up based on a recommendation that was on Facebook. Β I was looking for something with a bit of a love triangle and this seemed exactly what I was looking forward. Β The author put forth a storyline that was compelling, but I couldn’t connect with the characters. Β I wanted Lillian to really sway me one way or another, especially as she finds herself with feelings for both of her FBI protectors. Β She was so closed off that I found it a little unbelievable that she could fall for Wesson as quickly as she did…considering the guy she’d had a crush on forever has feelings for her. Β Then there was her missing brother. Β I expected more from her. Β More trying to find him, less playing by the rules.
It’s a good first try, one which compelled me to buy the second book, but I wanted more from the characters than what we got.
