Story follows Dare, a military man turned mercenary. He breaks up a human trafficking ring after they abduct Alani Rivers, his friend Traces' sister. One of the women rescued is Molly Alexander, a romance author. She was treated differently during captivity which leads him to believe it was a paid abduction instead of it being a snatch and grab at random. Dare takes over her protection and plans on cracking the case of who wants Molly out of the way. 
 Lets start with the characters. Dare is a sweetheart. He is always doting on Molly and worrying about every little thing. Even before he develops more than lusty feelings for her he plans on protecting her at no expense. He agrees to charge her only to get her to accept his help. Molly was an okay character. Kind of quiet. On the fence about her. Together they have great chemistry. 
 What turned me off was not the story, but the pacing of it & possibly the writing. Nothing ever happened. The reader was told of experiences, but we never get the birds eye view of what happened. I was bored through most of it. If it wasn't in audio I would have quit about 30 pages in. 
 I do like my romance parallel to my action so keep that in mind. Looks like i'm an exception looking at the rating of this book. The who-dun-it was pretty ridiculous also. Will not continue this series.
