 Moss Beach, Florida ... the home of hot men and the woman that they protect and fall in love with. First there was Ben Hudson and now there's Alex ... Alpha males and the woman that bring them to their knees. 
 Alex is one tough cookie. His wife's infidelity lead him to become an alcoholic and leave the police force ... he doesn't trust woman and he surely will never fall in love again. He's always been fascinated and attracted to Doc Cramer ... he just needs to get her out of his system and move on. Or, so he thinks. When her life is threatened by a former client, he goes into over-protective alpha mode and moves her into his house. How does he keep her out of his mind ... how does he keep his hands off of her ... how does he control the raging hard-on's he gets when he's around her? 
 Brit Cramer cannot believe the curve balls that life throws at her. Moving to Moss Beach was supposed to be her safe-haven ... a place where she can practice and just lead a calm, unexciting life. Alex Hudson has always been an enigma to her. Yes, he was extremely hot. Yes, she could just imagine what it would be like to be in his bed. But, he can't stand her, is always mean to her, and went so far as to tell her off the last time they were at the same party. Why would he want to protect her and go so far as keep her in his house? She's a therapist - you would think she would know the answer to those questions. When she finally gets the answers to her questions, fireworks light up the sky and she ends up being one happy, satisfied young woman - in her office, on the table, finally in a bed. 
 Both are trying desperately to guard their hearts but love has a way of sneaking up on you, punching you in your gut and making your life miserable. That is, until you finally realize why you are so miserable, why you can't breathe and finally face the facts. Sometimes it takes a kidnapping, sometimes it takes someone just walking away. But, in any case, when they both finally realize what they feel, the HEA is inevitable. 
 So, when I requested this book, I didn't realize that I read the first book in the series and absolutely loved Ben and Reese's story. Alex and Brit's story grabbed me just as hard as Take Me Under. The book was written with the normal, expected flare of Rhyannan Byrd. With love scenes that sizzle, a little bit of intrigue and a wonderful ending ... an Epilogue that just made my smile wider than it had been throughout the book. It was a sensual, erotic tale that had you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering when the next twist was going to be, had you yelling at Alex to just admit his feelings and praying that Brit's stalker didn't get to her.
