BLURB:

FBI profiler, Doctor Leo Reeves, has been working with his partner, Special Agent Max Prince, for more than a year now. They’ve been assigned to cases where their very lives were threatened, but nothing has prepared them to work in different states…on entirely different cases.

When Max’s former chief at the U.S. Marshals Service asks him to help hunt down a dangerous fugitive he’d chased once before, Max is reluctant to fly all the way to Lexington, Kentucky to help catch the guy. Still…child predator, Solomon Purcell, has always been Max’s white whale, so the opportunity to put him away for good, is just too tempting to ignore.

Just getting started on their own case at the FBI, Leo is forced to stay and help his team here at home. Leo feels like a fish out of water when Max flies out of town. The team he’s come to rely on, desperately needs to figure out who killed a mild-mannered family man in a horrific way. As they learn more about the man and his mentally ill wife, they begin to realize they are affiliated with a dangerous group of domestic terrorists.

Navigating cases on two sides of the country at the same time wasn’t on either man’s bucket list. Still, they really have no choice but to stick their cases out until the bad guys go down. When the ache for each other is encompassed by worry and fear for each other’s safety, things go from bad to worse. From the California high desert to the Kentucky hill country, the race to get back home to each other leaves both men breathless.

And when the final wrap up to their cases come, and the men are reunited…both Leo and Max realize life will never be the same.

REVIEW:

Yippee 🎉 I’m back in LA with two of the most handsome and caring FBI agents there are!

Max and Leo are now home safely after all that has gone on in their lives in the last year. But, when heading out to a scene they have been called in on, Max has to open his mouth about “I really hope this is an interestin’ case.” And the jinx was on and Max needs to learn to think before you wish because wishes can and do come true. So now Max is called back to Lexington, Kentucky, at the request of his old boss with the US Marshall’s, to help finally catch the evil one that got away. It’s the case that still gets to him. But that requires him leaving Leo behind working on an equally dangerous and evil case. Now they both have to do their jobs thousands of miles apart so they can return to each other’s loving embrace. And they have to do it without getting permanently harmed or killed in the process!

I’m just going to say it. I don’t like my men on separate sides of the continent and then put in extreme danger. It hurt me as badly as it hurt Max and Leo to have them in a forced separation. I have grown quite fond of them over the last year. And then had each of them on separate cases, that put them each in grave danger, really had my heart pumping to turn to the next page as fast as possible. I will admit that their forced separation did seem to push Max on several things. That and his concerned, but pushy, siblings and insightful parents. Max really does come from a great and loving family. No wonder he turned out as wonderful, protective and loving as he did. And I was worried, along with Max too, that Leo was more on his own. I know he’s a trained FBI agent but he’s a doctor and a profiler that didn’t really have “fighting bad guys face to face” experience before he came to LA. But he proved to us all that he does have the right skill set to do more than sit in a cushy office profiling criminals. He can help take them down too! And he demonstrated that quite perfectly.

I am eagerly await the next book after that last chapter **swoons**. I hear it might be their last book as the “stars” but I have a feeling that we will still being seeing them. And if Ari does decide to move to LA 🤞 then he’s going to need his buddy Max to show him around. Great next book in this wonderful series.
