What a great start to a new series. There are several authors who I read everything they write, and Ms. BJ Wane is one of them. She has a way of bringing life to her characters, emotions, and interactions while writing a mystery, suspense with romance. Add in dominant men, smart but feisty females, a touch of danger, a healthy dose of eroticism within a relationship, add in the spice of BDSM scenes, and you get a perfect blend within a story.
Phoenix, Arizona: The story starts twenty years prior with three foster teenaged boys in a bad situation, knowing they need to escape their abusive situation. The night they are leaving, plans in place, Shawn will hear the terror in the new young girl placed in the home. He can’t just abandon her and instead will get her to safety. Now, fast forward to the present, the three are men, all raised in Idaho by a great older couple and running the ranch. Each man has a career and is still close friends.
Lisa Halldor is a haunted woman. Just when she works through the horrors of that one foster home and the memory of that man, now she is dealing with someone stalking her. When the events go from threatening messages to attacks, she knows she needs to get away. As a teacher, she will take a temporary assignment in Idaho and then decide what to do later. Coming face to face with a memory from her past in Idaho is unsettling—especially when he doesn’t seem to recognize her. A temporary stay at the town B&B with Jen and Drew gives her new friends.
“To be honest, there was something in your voice that prompted me to take that chance. Whatever you’re fleeing from back home, I hope you’ll find solace here. It’s a great community.”
The story will have Lisa visiting the local BDSM club called Spurs—after getting a recommendation from her Phoenix club. Seeing Deputy Sheriff Shawn McDuff again is unsettling. Trying to scene with Master Simon isn’t working, and when Master Shawn steps in, things change, and she can let go. The chemistry between these two cannot be denied, and Lisa tries to stay aloof, knowing she will be leaving, but Shawn doesn’t seem to let that stop him.
The story has the good, the bad, and the evil. Lisa has no idea who or why someone has targeted her and hopes that leaving Phoenix will end that terror. But now, it appears that he has found her, and his threats are more menacing than before. Trying to avoid being around Shawn and his ability to pick up on her emotions will keep her away—but that doesn’t work with him. Now, the truth must come out—she can no longer hide this a secret.
“However, with wakefulness came a return of guilt, and regret for the way her silence had inadvertently put him at risk. She’d never wanted to bring her troubles to his doorstep, but sometimes doing what you think is the right thing can return to bite you on the butt.”
“Actions, or nonactions, in this case, have earned you consequences, not rewards.”
The story will keep the pages turning as it unfolds, keeping you on the edge-of-your-seat with harrowing moments, life and death danger, and suspense. Secrets, regrets, greed, and selfishness are all players. It also has a slow-building relationship between Shawn and Lisa. What starts with mutual attraction and agreeing to scene together at Spurs, because more between these two. But with Lisa on a temporary assignment, dealing with a stalker, and the unknown for her future, what will become of them?
