Is it possible to renew one's faith in love? Injury ended former Marine Kevin Dreier's enlistment much too soon, leaving him with unwanted pins and screws in his right leg to serve as a constant reminder of what he'd lost. Being a team member of Crest Security Agency, however, gives him a sense of purpose and accomplishment. The determination that makes him good at his job is the same drive he'll need to win over the woman he wants in his life. Taking charge of her destiny, Elle Reyes has spent the last year working hard to make something of herself. She's found a reputable place to live, saved a little money, and even secured a managing position at a club. She's finally safe, content, and in need of nothing more, but she knows she wouldn't have been able to turn her life around without Kevin's assistance. When Kevin loses a family member, Elle is convinced this is her chance of returning a favor and repaying a debt. Accompanying him to visit his family and offer support, she is faced with the reality that warm and loving homes are real. She's torn between what she knows to be the truth and the tempting hope that something more exists. Upon their return, Kevin's current case crosses paths with Elle's past. Secrets and lies encircle them as a killer ups the stakes in a cat and mouse game meant for only one winner. When time runs out, Kevin intends to be the last man standing - in life and love.… (more)

3.5 Stars

Even though I truly enjoy the CSA series, I had trouble with this one.
It was the constant repetitive thoughts of Elle, the female lead in the story that gave me so much trouble. To read the same thoughts over & over again was monotonous. One of my pet peeves is when the words in a story seem to be more about the count of them, then the importance they have on a story.
I call them 'Filler Words'.

Kevin & Elle were both interesting characters, the romance scenes were steamy.

More could have been done on the crime investigation, the personalities of the 'bad guys' and other supporting characters.

I loved the previous books in the series & have already purchased books 4-6. I plan to devour each one of them with pleasure & delight!

That said, I believe this book is more of a 3.5 star's.
