Genre: Romance, Contemporary
Blurb: #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh unleashes a fiery new Nauti novel, in which a dangerous woman finds herself a target in more ways than one…
Angel Calloway isn’t the girl next door. Known for being rude and cursing like a sailor on a bender, she’s meaner than the two mercenaries she’s followed since she was young. Needing anyone is not what she’s about. Or so she thought–until she found the mother she was taken from so long ago, Chaya Mackay, wife to the notorious Natches Mackay.
One night with Angel and devilishly sexy Marine Reece Duquaine was hooked. She nearly blew his head off, and moments later, she blew his mind. He’s been after her ever since, wrestling with a desire that fights to consume him. But now he has her in his sights–and is ready to take his shot.
Unless someone else moves in for the kill first…
Favorite quote(s): “Once a Mackay puts claim to you, baby, you’re marked.”
Thoughts: Surprisingly, this is the first book I have read in the Nauti series, but I was immediately pulled into the emotions of the characters. It was obvious from the beginning that I was missing a lot, and at times the various characters were confusing – but I was so sucked into the story that I just couldn’t put it down. Not even to go back and start from the beginning (though a did make a side note to read all the previous books!). That’s just how entrancing these characters were. Something about Angel just compelled me, and I had to know her story. Not to mention the whole family dynamics, and the relationship between Angel and her biological mother, Chaya. The book is filled with so much emotion that once started just has to be finished. And I loved it! This is one of the few books that has managed to bring me to tears.
If you’re looking for an emotion-filled, gut-wrenching book, then look no further. This one is simply perfect.
