The
first novel in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden's
sizzling LOST series introduces the Last Option Search Team, an elite
unit that must protect the only surviving victim of a serial killer.
Ex-SEAL and LOST founder Gabe Spencer is accustomed to the unusual in
his job. But when knockout Eve Gray steps into his office, he's rattled.
For the mysterious woman is a dead ringer for the heiress thought to be
the latest prey of the serial killer who goes by the name Lady Killer.
When Eve awoke in an Atlanta hospital, her past was a blank slate. Then
she recognized her own face in the newspaper and vowed to learn the
truth. Determined to confront the nightmares hidden in her mind, she
never expects to find a partner in Gabe. As Gabe and Eve work together,
their explosive attraction becomes irresistible. Gabe knows that his
desire for Eve is growing too strong, bordering on a dangerous
obsession, but nothing pulls him away from her. And when another Eve
lookalike disappears, Gabe vows to protect Eve at all costs. While Eve
may have forgotten the killer in her past, it's clear he hasn't
forgotten her.
5+ STARS
What a dramatic start this book had. And the tension continues throughout the story. In fact it never lets up. The intensity, the twists and turns had me twisting all around trying to figure out who the serial killer was. I just finished it and now I'm trying to settle down from that high.
The story was SO good and so was the developing relationship between Gabe and Eve. Should he trust her or not? The strong attraction was there but he's been fooled before. I really loved their interactions and how Eve was so out of her element with no memories. Everyone on the island seemed to know her better than she knew herself. Or at least they think they do. And she even questions "why does everyone seem to be so interested in her sex life?"
Gabe's team was also a wonderful addition to the story with their own individual sorrows and pain. Each one had very good reasons to want to be a part of the LOST team. I wouldn't mind reading some of their stories too.
Great ending with justice being served.
I read this book through the HOOPLA Library App.
