Blending seductive romance with explosive suspense, bestselling author Kathy Clark burns up the pages in a captivating novel about a real-life hero and a gorgeous lawyer who are reunited under chilling circumstances—sure to please fans of Nora Roberts and Karen Robards.

Homeland Security agent Luke Archer returns home to Texas on a dangerous mission—a hands-on fight against a terrorist organization that has infiltrated the United States—yet it’s a chance encounter with his high-school sweetheart that really gets his blood pumping. Luke considers himself a lone wolf who doesn’t need a woman in his life. But as memories of their sweet, innocent affair stir him body and soul, Luke starts to wonder whether he should give love another chance.

A high-powered attorney, Bella Shaw has never forgotton how Luke left her behind in Austin to chase his dreams. But when she’s being totally honest with herself, Bella can’t deny that Luke is the one man she ever truly wanted. Though he tells her that the terrorists are using her land, she’s more worried about defending her heart from the advances of the sinfully sexy lawman. Still, Bella is willing to trust him again—if Agent Archer proves he’s worthy.

If sex were this boring there would be fewer children in the world.
The writing is professional, the editing competent and a fairly fresh plot entertains but mercy, the politically correct flap doodle is wearing. Add to that the catching up on characters from previous books and I found myself skipping whole chapters.
So, competent but a snooze fest from my perspective.

Sweet book about 2nd chances

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016

I was taken aback by this book. I thought that this would be a clichéd 3rd book in a series. You know the one that is used to wrap up all the other storylines, which this one did, and just kinda sucks because there is really no plot…other than the hero and the heroine declaring Instalove after the first couple of chapters and then the rest of the book is them banging everywhere they can with misunderstandings all around until the end. This book isn’t like that.

See, Luke and Bella were friends since 3rd grade and boyfriend/girlfriend all 4 years of high school. They were each other’s firsts (first kiss and first time having sex) and were madly in love. They planned on becoming marine biologists and sailing around the world together after high school. From Bella and Luke’s flashbacks, it was a sweet (but hot and heavy) first love that ended when each of them got Dear John letters from the other person. They never got over each other.

So fast forward 14 years. Luke works for Homeland Security and is tracking terrorists that are coming over the border from Mexico. He happens to run into Bella after he was involved in a sting that failed to capture 5 terrorists and had one commit suicide by grenade. She lived in the condo’s that happened to be on the same street as the building that was damaged when the grenade went off.

What happens next is what sets the book apart from other romances. Luke and Bella never fell out of love with each other. So no InstaLove or even InstaLust. It was just two people who had a history and who were madly in love with each other discovering each other again. There was basically no drama in that department. Once Bella and Luke hooked up, there was no one else and no one tried to break them up. It was very refreshing to read. I love how Bella classified their relationship towards the end of the book

Silly, silly man. All I’ve ever wanted was for you to love me. I don’t care if you’re a cop or a fireman or a janitor. I loved you when you beat up that little boy on the playground. I loved you before your voice changed. I loved you before you scored you first touchdown. I loved you when you just wanted to live on a boat and count starfish. I loved you when you risked your life to save me from that terrorist. You’re the strongest, bravest, most wonderful man in the whole world, and I promise I’ll love you forever, so might as well propose

I had tears in my eyes reading that and his reply was just as good (not going to put it in here because, well you should read the book to find that out)

The sex was definitely hot and there was the mandatory “I am on BC so its OK to not use a condom” (I am going to start a safe sex for fictional characters fund…lmao) talk. I liked that the feelings that they had for each other definitely showed while they were having sex….even before the “L” word was mentioned.

Now the 2 other storylines that were featured in the book was pretty good but I thought the one where the terrorists just happened to be operating out of Bella’s barn was a little far-fetched. Not saying that it could happen but still.

The storyline with Grammy was awesome. She has to be my favorite secondary character ever and I loved that she was given her happily ever after.

The ending was great but everything was wrapped up all at once. I would have rathered see an epilogue 5-6 years in the future to find out what happened than it happening all at once.

Will I reread: Yes

Will I recommend to family and friends: Yes

Age Range: Adult

Why: Sex and violence

Second time's the charm ;)

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016

This was my first Kathy Clark book, so unfortunately I missed reading the first two books of this series. And after reading this one I sure wished that I had read Nick and Justin's stories too. There is nothing as heart warming as reading a love story about second chances. And seeing highschool sweethearts reunite and feel the same intensity and love that they once shared again gives us all hope. Luke and Bella may have been apart for the last 14 years but the spark that they once had burns just as fierce as it once did. And once they discover that they didn't break up, but were broken up, they don't want to waste a single minute of the time that they have together. But with an ungoing investigation, Luke has to be on his A game.

Luke Archer is the youngest of the Archer brothers. He is a Homeland Security agent who is on a special mission in Austin, from Washington DC. Being back home brings all sorts of memories from his childhood, especially when he runs into his childhood friend, first love and the "one" that got away, Bella Shaw.

Bella Shaw is a lawyer who mainly works for the rights of immigrants and human rights. She is also a senator for the state of Texas. She spends her days working or at her ranch which was given to her by her grandfather. She may have had a couple of relationships, but she has never been able to forget her first love, Luke. And when fate brings them together under unusual circumstances, the passion that they once shared flares again.

Apart from the main love story, I really enjoyed Suzie and Paul's story too. The only thing that I couldn't quite understand was whether Paul knew that Luke was Suzie's grandson and if that played a part in his animosity towards him. I liked Luke and Bella and their interaction, however I thought that the homeland security procedures and details about Luke's job could have been better researched. I really don't think that a Homeland Security agent would start chatting with his ex girlfriend on the site and on the heels of an explosion.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
