This was very much an adult story. It was intense with spots of sarcastic humor. Most of the sarcastic humor coming from Jenna; who owns up to having no filter. Even in the dangerous encounters with Dare, she looks him in the eye and lets loose on him. All in all, a pretty gutsy lady. And she's going to have to be.
Dare is all tough guy with a mission to complete and no time to get involved with a beautiful, smart woman who accidentally got in the way. He puts on his "stone face" and just tries to muscle his way through things. That doesn't fool Jenna for long but she does hover between thinking he's jerk and at other times a hunk. They do know how to push each others buttons. And unbutton each others buttons later on. There will be a fair amount of that and some pretty detailed sex scenes.
Jenna's life spins so far out of her own control after being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just when you think that things can't get any worse for her, they do. Dare and his team are doing their best to protect their "witness". Dare is also trying not to commit the so-called "fatal error." That was what it was called when someone like him began to care about her, "the package." They tried to distance themselves from people under their "care" by making seem less personal. He is having a hard time of it though because he does like and admire her spunk and her in-your-face attitude. You can almost tell he's not going to win this battle.
Some of the writing made me smile with the way it was phrased. But that is good because some of the rest of the story is pretty dark. Many parts made me cringe.
This story only has some of it completed, it looks like the adventure will continue into another book. The adventure where several sets of powerful bad guys meet justice.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
