Synopsis:
From Liliana Hart's New York Times best-selling MacKenzie family comes a new story by New York Times best-selling author Cristin Harber....
When Luke Brenner takes an off-the-books job on the MacKenzie-Delta joint task force, he has one goal: shut down sex traffickers on his personal hunt for retribution. This operation brings him closer than he's ever been to avenge his first love, who was taken, sold, and likely dead.
Madeleine Mercier is the daughter of an infamous cartel conglomerate. Their family bleeds money, they sell pleasure, they sell people. She knows no other life, sees no escape, except for one. Maddy is the only person who can take down Papa when every branch of law enforcement in every country is on her father's payroll.
It's evil. To want to ruin, to murder her family. But that's what she is. Ruined for a life outside of destroying her father. She can't feel arousal. Has never been kissed. Never felt anything other than disgust for the world that she perpetuates. Until she clashes with a possible mercenary who gives her hope.
The hunter versus the virgin. The predator and his prey. When forced together, can enemies resist the urge to run away or destroy one another?
Review:
4.5 Stars
I’ve struggled with the rating for this book, for much longer than I usually would. I love Cristin Harber and I have yet to meet one of her books that I didn’t fall in love with. However, this is a novella, and I know you’re not going to have enough time to fit everything in, I understand the limitations and I loved what I read/ listened to. I just felt that it was missing the component I usually find in Cristin’s Titan/ Delta books, and that’s an enemy to hate. We only really experience the ‘bad guy’ through the thoughts or words of Maddy, rather than seeing him in action and growing that hatred. Obviously, it’s just personal preference and I did love the enemies to lovers storyline. Maybe I’m just evil and wanted someone to get hurt? lol.
As I've come to expect from Cristin Harber this book had a great storyline with characters you can't help but love. Luke Brenner is no exception - he is a good guy, with demons and he knows exactly how to deal with them. (He is also a total swoon-worthy sweet-talker - just saying). That is until he meets Madeleine Mercier - a woman that isn't quite what she seems. They should be enemies, they would be...if they could just fight the attraction they feel toward one another.
Maddy was probably my favourite character, she was different; strong but vulnerable, educated but lacking experience. I loved her attitude and most of the scenes with Luke stood out, but especially the scene in her office – that chemistry they were trying hard to deny, was perfectly performed, you could feel the tension.
Another scene that stands out, and I won’t go into detail but once you hear the words, you’ll get it, Luke says to Maddy, ‘no one has ever taken care of you’ and well really, that entire chapter is wonderful but that scene, in particular, is just lovely. It was performed so beautifully, sweet and tender, yet still with the gruffness that is Luke.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Delta book without a sneak peek at the other Delta guys, and boy genius makes a tiny cameo. (The book has been out for over a year, this cannot possibly be considered a spoiler!).
Jeffrey ‘I can narrate anything’ Kafer is perfect for this book, you’ll recognise his voice if you’ve listened to any of Cristin’s other audiobooks, yet he still manages to make each book and each character sound unique. His performance really brings these characters and this story to life in your mind as you’re listening. Sit back, relax and let Kafer entertain you for 3 hours, you won’t be disappointed.
**The addition above to Jeff’s name isn’t me being sarcastic, it’s because I listen to a variety of genres and I have 4 favourite series that he narrates, and each is very different and are fantastically performed. Leading me to believe he can narrate anything.
