I liked Garrett (but not the way I did in the other books). Sarah, uhhh...I don't know, I just didn't care for her.
Seeing as the characters weren't my favorite there's no way I can really give an accurate review.
The story seemed to drag and was quasi dramatic the whole way and then it was all wrapped up in a few pages.

I liked these characters a great deal and Maya Banks can always be relied upon for good romantic suspense. I was laid up with a virus and this proved to be an excellent companion -- took my mind right off my aches and pains and did not tax my fever addled brain.

I just finished reading this for the third time and noticed that I didn't have a review so finally, here it is...
GARRETT. Need I say more..?
In my mind, Garrett is the tallest and the most buff Kelly/KGI member. But he's really just a big ole teddy bear with the girls. We've seen the sweet, protective of him with Rachel and (in the end) Sophie, but it was nice to see more of it and at the focus of the book. He's rough but he's sweet.
I loved that Sarah, even being a frightened woman on the run, was still strong and independent. But being that she was such a recluse in Boston for so many months after the incident, it makes me not really like that she just kind of jumped into an intimate relationship with Garrett. I guess she didn't really jump in but it seemed a little quick for me. I understand that it had to be included because it is romantic suspense but it was still a little soon for me. (Just my personal opinion. Obviously.)
August 2017 reread: basically the longest reread of my life. 😂
I noticed this time that there seemed to be a lot of "I'm an idiot" or "I'm stupid" coming from Sarah. Not a fan of that..

The slow burn!!! I really enjoyed this book. Garrett and Sarah was a fun relationship to watch grow. And I love that she had a plan and wasn’t reliant on Garrett. I do think the ending was a little unrealistic (time wise). But overall still enjoyed it!

This book gave me mixed feelings. There were parts of it I loved and parts of it I didn’t. I think my main problem was that I loved the past two books so much and I built this one up in my head for so long before I got a chance to read it. Usually in any given romance series that involves men there is one guy that is the meanest, most scarred that I look forward to reading. I want to see the transformation from the guy that has a heart of gold but is a jerk, to the guy that professes his love to the lucky girl. Garrett is that guy in the KGI series. He was cynical, wounded and mean. Although gentle when dealing with the women in the past two books. I couldn’t wait for this book.
Right after starting it I knew I was going to feel this way. He wasn’t quite like the past two books, or at least he wasn’t from my perception. Sarah, like the rest of the KGI females to date, had some huge issues to work past. She had been raped by her now ex boss and then her half brother murdered him. You know….the normal. Now the ex boss’s brother is out to get her and her half brother is tying to find her. Enter Garrett who is working undercover trying to locate the half brother and bring him to justice for crimes that date back several years.
I didn’t quite think the two story lines were executed enough because when they merge at the end its pretty anti-climactic. I wanted more action. At one point Sarah runs out of her beach house and down to Garrett’s because she heard a noise…but Garrett didn’t find any evidence of someone being there.
Sarah herself was likeable. I can’t say how someone who had been raped would act so I can’t comment on that. I did think she had tremendous courage to stand up for Garrett when the chips were down. I admired her for that. Especially knowing what it might potentially cost her. So in doing that, she pretty much won me over.
The ending of course is a good one but the last paragraph kind of confused me a bit. The past two novels have been dated a few months apart..but the end of this one make it seem like the next book might be several years in the future. I’m hoping that’s not the case but it won’t stop me from reading if it was.
I did like the book overall even if I had a few issues with it. I still count this series as one of my favorites and I am counting the days till the next release. Which is sadly not until Feb 2012.
