About the book:
A stalker out to finish what he started. A US Marshal who's vowed to protect.
And one woman determined to put the past in the past.
Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it's hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people's lives, but because her stalker was never found, she's never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.
US Marshal Vincent Covelli's job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs--whether it's his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina's past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn't live long enough to succeed.

My review:
Lynette Eason does it again! She combines suspense and romance so wonderfully and I especially love the tough female characters who are definitely no damsels in distress! Raina has a lot of secrets in her past and she wasn't always as tough as she is now. She is really a survivor and determined to stay that way if her stalker ever caught up with her. She also struggles with control and not wanting to ask people for help because of what had happened to other people in her past when they helped her but I liked how Vince reminded her that she wouldn't be responsible if something happened to him because God is in control, not her. That's a good reminder for us all! She prays at different times and I really liked Vince's wisdom as they discussed spiritual things. Vince is a wonderful character as he's tough and puts her first while they're trying to stay alive but also trying to figure out what's going on. He's wise, spiritually and otherwise, and patient. There were some nice romantic moments and plenty of action as they went on the run, being shot at but also engaging in some hand to hand combat multiple times, along with some other crazy scenarios! I also loved that we see characters from the prior books, which I also highly recommend! This would work as a stand-alone, though. There was one situation where I couldn't believe Raina wouldn't have done something when she was on such high alert as it's a good practice generally, much less if you have a stalker and are so terrified you've been on the run for so many years. Everywhere else I felt like she was smart, tough and made good choices, though. I highly recommend this book and the whole series!
