I loved Sebastian and Nicole’s swoony love story. It is a hot suspenseful romance that keeps you enthralled from the first sentence to the last. It’s filled with all the emotions, the connections and the love. Nicole runs a daycare for families who are running from abusive partners or in witness protection. Sebastian is a dentist but he’s also a paid assassin. His new dental office is next door to Nicole’s daycare. Seb is friend’s with Nicole’s brother but she is not his biggest fan. She’s thinks he’s a player who does not treat women well. Seb really likes Nicole and he’s not what he appears but then neither is she. Seb and Nicole are both smart, funny, and wildly appealing characters. As the mystery, the danger, and the suspense ratchet up, Seb and Nicole spend more and more time together. Secrets are shared and wounds are exposed. The feels that result from watching the closeness develop between these two guarded but lonely people is romantic suspense perfection. This book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from a good romantic suspense story - sweet moments, strong friendships and family, sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, painful pasts, dangerous high stress situations, mystery, surprises, and some chuckles. I am sad to see the end of this series but hopeful we might see them some in the Juniper Ridge series.

I have loved Sebastian since the prequel, but him and Nicole are in a whole other level. There were so many twists and turns and unexpected events that I almost felt like I couldn’t keep up. I never knew what was coming next and I loved every second. This book perfectly wrapped up this series. I’m sad to see them all go but what an end it was!
