4.5 stars 
 This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. 
 Austin doesn't have any desire to do anything except jump from mission to mission with his SEAL team. He's all about having fun and taking what he wants with little thought to the future. When Brady needs him to spend leave watching after his sister, Gwen, Austin decided to spend his leave in Nashville doing just that. I loved his sense of humor and watching him interact with Gwen's daughter, Emma. Playing Navy SEAL with Barbies and duct tape? Priceless. 
 Gwen has been hiding from her abusive husband with their daughter. She has a job she loves, her daughter is thriving and life is settling in to a new normal. When Brady sends Austin to watch over her, she is pissed, but changes her mind when strange things start happening. And even though she's tried so hard to distance himself from her life in New York, fear comes back in to her life. We had glimpses of what was going on with Gwen in Because of You, but seeing her with her feet underneath her again was great. I love the changes she made to her life to move past the fear of her husband, so when things start happening that look like he's coming after her again I was crushed. But Gwen is a fighter, and she certainly proves it time and time again. 
 What starts as a hostile relationship quickly changes to interest as the two actually spend time together. Austin isn't so sure he's husband and father material though and so continued to try and hold himself back from Gwen. But somehow those two girls start slipping under his skin. 
 I liked so much about this book that I'm having a hard time putting it all in to words. Their banter back and forth when Austin first starts working with Gwen, the way Emma attaches herself to Austin, and that was just the first few chapters. 
 It seems that Sivec has found her legs with this series. There was plenty of suspense along the way with several possibilities behind the threats to Gwen. I found myself second guessing my predictions as the story unfolded. I enjoyed using the clues throughout to predict who was behind the threats. 
 Thanks to TE Sivec for providing me with a copy in return for my honest review.
