Riley joined Max's crew, despite his brother's protests as a way to get vengeance for the girl he loved and lost. A single phone call from his brother, now out of the life, changes everything Riley thought he knew and every reason he had for working for Max. 
 Evie has been hiding more or less in plain sight for the last five years. Having cut herself off from her old life, nothing about her present self resembles the girl she was in Chicago and everything is built on secrets and lies. 
 When Riley storms back into Evie's life to protect her, they have a lot of issues to work out, maybe the least of which is the current threat to Evie. And that threat is a doozie. Their history, their childhoods, their present. There is so much to wonder about and watch play out over the course of the storyline. 
 I wasn't pulled in to this as quickly as I was Captive, but by the end I was fully invested in Evie and Reilly and couldn't turn the pages fast enough to get to the end. These two were steamy together, with years of grief and separation to make up for. 
 I liked that there were multiple threads of story running through the novel and that they were able to take the time to work out each piece a little at a time. There was a great weaving of past and present that kept me guessing about what led each character, especially Evie, to land where they had. 
 By the time the book was over, most of the threads had been tied up nicely. But there were a couple details that I felt like were left hanging, questions I never found an answer to that make me wonder if there is more coming from this series. Ghost/Gage and Madison make appearances throughout, and more members of Max's crew play a variety of roles. As a whole, this was an entertaining read, with a good continuation from Captive. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
