Publisher's summary

Love is the most dangerous territory of all.

Every day, bodyguard Owen Jackson puts his life on the line-and keeps his feelings for Penny Sandoval locked away. Assigned to protect Penny's father, a presidential candidate, Owen can't get emotionally involved. That is, until Penny and her young son, Cruz, are abducted and taken deep into the California badlands.

Owen knows the bleak territory from his childhood. Worse, he knows the gang leader making ransom demands - his own brother, Shane. When a terrified Penny escapes into the desert with Cruz, Owen has to save her: From the elements and from the gang in close pursuit. Owen has hidden the darkness in his past from Penny. Now his only chance of keeping her alive is to let her see the man he really is-even if it means losing the only woman he'll ever want.

Suspenseful and engaging. Couldn't stop listening.

3rd book in the series. Listen in order. All are suspenseful and keep you on the edge of your seat. Characters are real and not cookie cutter rich boys.

Another descent read

So of the three books this is the one that's probably most completely about the main characters as the author wraps up the trilogy. That being said she suffers from the same problem in this as the others. Adding to much on for no reason. The inclusion of the Jolene character served no real purpose and didnt even add that much drama to the story. Add to that the ending, which is sort of a RIP off of the movie Cocktail, and it leaves one disappointed. The book could easily end 20 pages earlier and be just as good.
