This was one of those novels that is currently sitting in the box sets that I have. So I had absolutely no idea what to expect from it. And I really didn’t know whether I was going to like it or not (it’s always hit and miss finding books in this way). Well, this is one of those stories that I absolutely loved. And I’m so grateful that I’ve now got a whole new author and series to add to my shelves. Plus, it’s a romantic suspense, and I don’t really have many of them on my shelves.
There is just enough suspense in this romance to keep in interesting and quite intense, but not so much that I felt uncomfortable while reading it. I mean, ultimately, I was reading this story for the romance aspect, not the suspense and fear aspect. The suspense just lent itself to me not being able to put this book down, because as well as wishing Cam and West were going to find their happily ever after, I was also really hoping that they would find out just who was doing the wrong thing behind the scenes. It wasn’t quite who I suspected initially, and for that I am glad.
West and Cam are such a gorgeous couple. I really love how they connect online, and eventually work together to get over their issues. Plus, they are both veterans, so lots of common ground. I love that West is incredibly patient with Cam and just slowly lets her see that what they have is real and worth trusting in. Yet, he’s not blindly allowing her to run the show and runaway, it’s a beautiful balancing act that I think a lot of people have to trial to form a solid relationship with those of us with issues.
Throughout a lot of this story, I was curious as to why Cam was originally disowned and what the root of her trust issues was going to be. It honestly wasn’t what I expected. And, the amount of shame that she carries felt incredibly intense for something that was a whole lot less awful than anticipated. It was really heartbreaking how making a mistake in her teenage years led to a lifetime of being alone. And now I’m excited to get into In Her Sights with two characters I’ve already met and felt intrigued by.
