I absolutely adored this book. I loved how this book brought the past, present, and futures of both Shayne and Luke, along with everybody else, together. It was very beautifully written, but it was also very steamy.  Lukes dirty talk brought me to my knees , his passionate anger and determination to make things right had me swooning , melting and in total love. 

This was the first book I've read by Kathy Coopmans, and I'm looking forward to reading Adams story in Rescue Me, due to Release January 2015.
