descriptionGood lord this cover is SMOKIN'. Similar to book ones' cover so my thoughts are basically the same. Excellent representation of the hero. Jonas remains hot y'all. Great composition. Attractive and eye-catching title work. Five lick worthy stars for sure!description

descriptionOh, good gravy was this book good. The best of the series so far (IMO). The writing was fantastic. The pace was perfect. The sex scenes were smokin'. It had the perfect blend of romance and action. It had humor. No OW/OM drama. No angst or drama (couple wise). Fantastic secondary characters. I REALLY hope Matthias's book is up next. Two extremely likable main characters. A badass Nonna. All wrapped up in a kick-ass ending.

Not much left to say really. I am loving this series and cannot wait to see what these authors have up their collective sleeves next. Two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly. P.S. Authors, if you are reading this, I would LOVE to put a request in for IAN to get his own book. Pretty please!! With sugar on top!description

Absolutely loved this book!!! Perfect conclusion to a great duet! Enforce picks up right where Force ends, and just like book 1 it was full of suspense, twists and turns that had me hooked the entire time.

The chemistry between JJ and Jonas is explosive. I enjoyed seeing JJs softer more vulnerable side and Jonas is now even more protective of her then ever. JJ will do anything to get her god daughter back, even if it means walking into the lions den herself which Jonas will not allow. I loved how the whole gang banded together to get Isabella back, the search is on for her and leaves JJ with a incredible amount of guilt.

Can't wait for more from this gang!

Enforce starts off where Force ended, and this intense story is an exciting thriller and has to be read after book 1 to be enjoyed as an exciting conclusion to the Force Duet.
There's a big hunt for the missing baby and the where a bouts of JJ's attempted killer is on. She has feelings of guilt, as the man really intends to harm her and is just using her friends and the child as bait to lure her out. But Jonas and his friends won't stop until they've succeeded.

Jonas and JJ's feelings for each other can only get stronger and the story develops into a real page turner. I really enjoyed this thrilling duet and look forward to more exciting stories involving characters from this book. A definite must read, I loved it!

Love is impactful.
Love is strong.
Love is family and strength.

JJ, Jonas, Lucia, Mathias, and Noah have a special bond that will not be broken no matter the doors that got opened. No matter the time that passed. Enforce was a force. It should that love, drama, life, danger, fear, pain, loss, and much more showed you who to count on. JJ and Jonas have a story that brings on the grit. The danger that held these pages together were also the reason to turn the page and get more of JJ and Jonas. This duo was a great addition to the writing duo of the Malones. This one gave great bread crumbs up to the next set coming our way. When all is done and writing I will be reading these group of friends & family again as a whole and get the impact full FORCE and SHAMEFUL.

This is the second book in The Force Duet. JJ and Jonas are back with the conclusion and it's a whopper. Quite a page turning story as everyone pulls together to find the baby and the man who had tried to kill her years earlier. JJ felt guilty and that she was the one who brought this on as the man was really after her. Jonas and JJ are so great together. Quite a story and a great ending. Looks like it seemed to be leading up to a story about Matteas . The Malone's have another winner. I received an advance copy and voluntarily chose to review. Great book

Enforce (The Force Duet) by M. Malone and Nana Malone  
Buried beneath the course language, never ending danger and heartbreaking fear Malone squared created a family. JJ was never alone. Jonas, Mathias, Noah and Lucia had her back. When the chips were down and the road seemed dark, this unorthodox family went to work. Love is a powerful force and Enforce never forgot that.

How awesome is this series? I love these guys more and more with each book! We get to delve into JJ's history and watch her and Jonas grow closer. We also get a deeper look at each guys personality and build a stronger connection with all of them. I really enjoyed this story, it was fun, fast paced and one I didn't want to end.

Wowzer. Talk about some serious stuff. Stalking, obsession, hatred, rage, love and protection. This book had it all. Now the question remains who was the true object of all of these emotions. And we will never know since the kick-arse heroine took care of the problem.

I love that JJ was able to take care of herself and not have to rely on the man to do it for her. However, I love that Jonas was there to help her clean up the mess. It seems like these two characters complement each other very well even when they are sparring with each other, both in the bedroom and out.

And what the heck is up with Nonna? Dang, she is one hot, feisty gramma. She is diabolical and holds nothing back. I think we need to find a love match for her and add him to the Blake Security team. But lookout world, because anyone who can handle her is going to need to be imaginative, expressive, and definitely mischievous.

OMG!!! This book was so good. This is the 2nd book in the duet. You have to read Force first.

For those of you that have cliffhangers (I'm the Queen of hating cliffhangers), these books will change your mind.

The end of Jonas and JJ's story kept me completely riveted. Jonas and JJ's chemistry is off the charts. The story is hot, sexy, romantic, suspenseful, intriguing, and exciting.

I love the characters in this series. You get so caught up in their complex personalities, it just makes you want to read more about them.

It was great to read the scenes with Nonna, JJ, and Lucia together. Nonna is a hoot. We know JJ just does her own thing. But, the scene also reminded us that just because Lucia had become a mother, she hadn't lost that fire and spunky nature she exhibited in the Shameless series.

I hope all of the guys in the security team will get their own books. I am especially looking forward Matthias, Rafe, and Oskar's books.

I encourage you to read both Force and Enforce. I can't imagine you being disappointed.

Enforce
The Force Duet Volume 2
by M. Malone , Nana Malone
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OMG! What another awesome story! This entire series is a Must read! These two ladies Nana and M Malone are gifted with talent and have created another phenomenal addition to this series, this time it's with Jonas and JJ story. Jonas is a protector because he is a ex-policeman with his own past he has to handle. JJ's past has came back to haunt her and she must deal with her own abusive past. This is the second part of the second story of the men at Blake Security. What uniquely amazing series. Ever since the two first met the sparks started to fly but they pretended that they didn't get along. Always getting one up on the other one. The hotter their chemistry got the more they fought the underlined attraction was always there. Jonas is a protector what he wants and needs is to protect JJ. But JJ has a strong and independent personality. JJ has been keeping a secret but she is as protective as any man on the team.I enjoy the way the Malone's builds the tension and passion up with humor that will make you laugh out loud. I enjoy learning more about the other characters. I understand everyone may not enjoy cliffhangers, but the Malone's puts you on the edge of your seat with excitement. Each book so far is a magnificent page after page turner, I couldn't stop reading. This story is intense, captivating and enchanting with a surprise and I enjoyed all of the characters. Overall,this is a AWESOME SERIES. I promise you will enjoyed every minute of reading it. I enjoyed it so much that I had to reread the other five books again. The stories are fascinating, real with humor and a surprise. I couldn't help but to immediately read this Phenomenal story once it hit my reader. Even though I knew how things were going to end as I knew it would be AWESOME and of coarse I am right it didn't disappoint. I'm still so excited and on the edge of my seat ready to read the next book in this series. WOW I am so into this series, I DIDN'T WANT THIS STORY TO END. I highly recommend this book.

Just as intense as the first! Really great book. There was quite a bit of drama with this one including some revelations that I really didn't expect. Rafe played a bigger role in this book than the last, but merely because he was brought in by JJ's past. Matthias also had moments where his POV was featured, so that makes me think that maybe he's next. Especially with the hints about his own past coming around. The stars, Jonas and JJ, were truly the stars here, though. Each one of them had pivotal moments where they had to decide what was truly important. I loved that they could be honest with themselves and then bring that honesty to what they brought to one another. Honestly, this is really just a winning sequel to Force that brings two awesome people together despite the ridiculously traumatic things that happen in the world of Blake Security.

I was excited to see how this would turn out because I really love Jonas. He's totally alpha and yet completely tender, caring, sweet, and loving. He's the star for me. He goes through his days thinking about JJ and everything that could possibly happen to and with her all while being his typical bad ass self on his protection details. His past makes him particularly sensitive to abused women so when it comes to JJ and how much he loves her, he's willing to do anything and everything from falling into the hands of her longtime tormentor. In his zeal, however, he fails to listen to the words she's saying, the advice she gives, relying instead on technology and Matt's surveillance. This proves to be the wrong move and he nearly pays for it with what he loves. The way that everything gets resolved is not only intense, but isn't exactly expected because it doesn't really follow the typical formula of alpha hero novels. Must read to understand!

He has a good match in JJ with her fire, sensuality, caring, and determination to fight for her chosen family. She's utterly fierce in her attempt to protect those she loves and almost makes a huge mistake. From that point on she's more willing to allow others to protect her, but she begins doubting herself and falling deeper into her own thoughts. Jonas knows her inside and out and helps her to move beyond that enough to trust him. Ultimately she comes to trust not only him, but everyone in Blake Security with the full truth of her past. That meeting brings up some serious awkwardness but it also gives greater insight into how to unmask Chameleon and his true motivations.

Impulsive women don't typically bother me, well, that's a lie. They do. But it's more that what they do is out of reaction instead of thinking ahead and planning for consequences. More than once does JJ run off to do something rather impulsive and the consequences could have been truly awful both times. When yet again her advice isn't taken to heart JJ and the other spitfire women of the clan go off and encounter something that could have gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Overall, this was a really great book and I can't wait to see who's next to fall and find strength, love, and home in an equally awesome woman. Maybe Matthias?

Rad and very willingly reviewed this ARC for the author.

This is the second part of a duet and is an excellent conclusion to the overall story. JJ and Jonas story is quite poignant and, while David is cast as the villain, one feels a certain irony towards him. The story also shows the depths this family will go to, to protect one another. The short synopsis about Matthias is quite intriguing and lends towards the possible opening of another book.

JJ feels guilt, confusion and anger and wonders what David is up to? He had always been jealous and controlling, but taking an innocent child, this was something else entirely. JJ feels responsible; if only she had divulged her secret earlier, this might not have happened, but now it is time for a group meeting and to confess the truth. David had gotten it all wrong: JJ didn’t love Rafe, but it was his obsession with Rafe that had made him seek her out. Lucia was too broken, but JJ had been the perfect target. None of this is about her; this was all about Rafe. As an Agent, David had been brash, uncontrollable, obsessive, but had looked up to Rafe and wanted to emulate him. With Rafe out of play, David became even more obsessed with Rafe’s life and started following Lucia, Nonna and JJ, until he was transferred overseas, but once he returned his obsession was triggered again. David had never lacked patience; waiting over 7-years to come back and take his revenge. For Jonas there was nothing worse than JJ fantasizing about Rafe, but hearing how she had feared for her life with nowhere to turn was even worse. Jonas’ priority was JJ, but he wouldn’t stand by and watch her slowly lose everything that made her the fearless person she was; but he also has to make sure she understands who she belongs to. After having her trust shattered by David, it has taken a long time for JJ to be vulnerable with a man again and she couldn’t have done that with anyone but Jonas; he was hers and she was his. So far David has been calling all the shots and they needed to turn things around and pull him out of hiding on their terms, but for that they needed ORUS’ help; but Rafe didn’t trust ORUS and with good reason. David’s behavior has been erratic and unpredictable this whole time, but understanding what drives him will be his downfall. David wants everything he thinks Rafe has and this has to mean something; maybe he is not as hidden as he thinks. JJ comes up with a possible clue to David’s whereabouts, but the team are led in the opposite direction, leaving JJ to make a decision. JJ was done sitting back and letting others take control; David had damaged her confidence in her own judgment and decision making, but not anymore. I thoroughly enjoyed reading both books, which made for a quite interesting and engaging story and one I would have no hesitation in recommending. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Loved it! Every level of your being is on high alert with this well written, anxiety raising, heat inducing, heart racing storyline! This story has Jonas and Jessica Jones (JJ) as the hard core bantering singles who secretly have eyes for each other (well secretly to each other, but not to those around them). HA! Let the games begin!

The characters are extremely well written and a bit complex, as are all of the guys in the security firm considering their backgrounds. Add to the mix, the new comer who puts the other guys on edge at the beginning (you will have to read to find out who this is). Oh and all of your favorite hotties are here from the previous book, so enjoy! Jonas is hot, strikingly handsome and dresses to kill..ok he likes to look really nice and expensively. But he is 100% alpha male and he is good at what he does. JJ is a beauty with a past that needs to stay buried, but unfortunately you know these things have a way of showing up when the timing is always not perfect. And that is what happens to her when she meets a ghost from her past, right there where she lives and finds out that he is not who she thought he was, he's worse! Her happiness is threatened, her friends are threatened, a baby's safety is threatened, and worse of all, he is a part of the organization that Noah and some of the others were a part of. Add that fact to his being obsessed with her and he is now even more lethal than before. She has to let her secret out, but not before being pushed into the open when the unthinkable happens.

I really like JJ. She's smart, sassy, tougher than she thinks and when push comes to shove, she does what she has to to protect those she loves. And she can dish out the barbs with the best of them, maybe even better than the guys!

This is an absolutely amazing read and I thoroughly enjoyed both books and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book. Oh and then I found that there is a little .5 book out there that actually precedes this one...so you get a bit of the beginning of Jonas and JJ and how they came to be together and a few other little tidbits that will answer a few questions. Of course, I found this out after I read this one, but that's OK, I look forward to reading it as well...but just a heads up to everyone...the name is Forceful...grab it and enjoy! Grab all three and enjoy!! You won't regret it!

I absolutely loved Enforce!! Enforce was the perfect conclusion to JJ and Jonas' story, which began in Force. Enforce picks up right where Force left off...and just like Force, Enforce grabbed me from the minute I opened the book and held me right up until it ended. M. Malone and Nana Malone truly outdid themselves with this extremely well-written story is wrapped up in mystery, intrigue, danger, hilarity, and above all...love. No matter how crazy things get for the men of Blake Security, nothing ever changes the fact that they are all family and would do anything and everything for each other, and the women who they love.

Can I just say what a great guy Jonas is??!! I adored Jonas. He is the perfect combination of gorgeous alpha male, sensitivity, and just all around good guy who is extremely well-groomed and dressed. And JJ with her cuteness, sassiness and independence, as well as her willingness to accept the love that Jonas is giving to her despite her past experience was heartwarming and so welcoming.I congratulate M. Malone and Nana Malone for dealing with the topic of domestic violence and its ramifications, as well as the struggle to gain back one's sense of self in the manner in which they did. The Force Duet is extremely well done. And ummm...can I also say how sexy Jonas and JJ are together?? Whoa!! These two set the pages on fire!! They are perfect together!!

So, yes, since Enforce is the conclusion to Force, that means everyone is back, along with a new mysterious threat to the group, which by the way is not solved in this one, so I am truly hoping that Matthias' story is up next. I love the fact that all of the guys who work for Blake Security have these very mysterious backgrounds that refuse to stay in the past. I highly recommend the Force Duet. Another fantastic read by the Malone Squared Duo!! And please let Matthias' story be next!!!

Zdarzyło się jeden jedyny raz, że wszyscy opuścili siedzibę Blake Security, gdzie mieszkają, aby trochę się zabawić. Wszyscy oprócz Matthiasa, agencyjnego informatyka-hakera, mającego wyraźną ochotę na flirt z Katie opiekującą się tego wieczoru maleńką Izabellą, córeczką Noaha i Lucii. Kiedy rozbawione towarzystwo wraca, okazuje się, że dziecko zniknęło. Nie ma też opiekunki, a Matthias leży nieprzytomny. Podejrzenia zrozpaczonych rodziców i ich przyjaciół kierują się ku niedawnym gościom Blake Security, a konkretnie ku towarzyszącemu szefowi ORUS agentowi o nazwisku David West aka Kameleon. Już wcześniej JJ ostrzegała, że jest to niebezpieczny zwyrodnialec-psychopata, który przed laty znęcał się nad nią i teraz prawdopodobnie zrobi wszystko, aby ją znowu dopaść. Jest więc JJ przekonana, że to ona ponosi winę za tragedię i kiedy Matthiasowi udaje się ustalić miejsce pobytu Kameleona, ona podejmuje decyzję...

Zbyt jednak naiwna jest ta walka ze złem wcielonym, szczególnie że autorki trochę na siłę dowartościowują w niej rolę kobiet, podczas gdy faceci popełniają błąd za błędem, mimo że przecież trzej z nich to byli zawodowi kilerzy a czwarty był kiedyś policjantem. Owszem, JJ jest wyrazistą postacią, ale w scenach łóżkowych jej osobowość jakby blednie lub, jak kto woli, słabnie z rozkoszy. A jest tych scen znacznie więcej niż w poprzednich tomach, wszystkie dość do siebie podobne. Akcja toczy się niezbyt wartko, więcej czasu upływa na gadaniu o możliwych kolejnych etapach walki niż na ich wykonywaniu. W dalszym ciągu kilka wątków, zainicjowanych już w trylogii Shameless, nie zostało zamkniętych. Końca nie widać, okazuje się bowiem, że losy pozostałych agentów Blake Security stanowią temat następnych mini-cykli autorstwa pań Malone. Zapewne każdy z nich będzie przeżywał romans swojego życia, pełen gorącego seksu

Jonas and JJ. There is no possible way a reader could keep from falling in love with these two. So perfectly matched; attractive, intelligent, filthy mouthed, clothes loving, fiery, passionate, sexually explosive. They are meant to be together. There is a monster determined to keep them apart however. Enforce is the second part of the Force Duet; it picks up where book one left off. It's full of suspense, action, humor, and passion.

The hunt for little missing Isabella is scary and intense. Emotions are running high among all of the members of Blake Security, but none more than JJ's She consumed with guilt, anger, fear for her Goddaughter, of David, and over falling in love with Jonas. Her tough shell is cracking. Jonas is on edge. He wants his sassy JJ back. The look of fear on her face is destroying him. He is determined to make her safe again. I love this man all the way down to his designer boxers. Blake Security team is up against a brilliantly insane opponent. I love that the villian is always worthy adversary. It makes the tension run so much higher. In this case David is always two steps ahead of the team. Maybe they should listen to their women at times! Lucia and JJ are more than pretty faces.

This is a 'can't put down' read. It's dark and very clever. The characters are complex and so likable. The intrigue is non-stop yet the characters still find time to be human. The sexy times are incredible, the conversations are realistic, deep or funny or 'simply normal'. They have love for one another, show vulnerability, have fights, make mistakes. It's a well-written, balanced book. I love the Blake Security Team Family. I can't wait to see Matthias's story and please let Nonna keep popping in.

Oh, such a wonderful conclusion to an amazing story! Jonas is such a good guy through and through, even when circumstances require him to evaluate the difference between justice and the law. JJ's vulnerability really comes through in this book as she's forced to confront issues from her past that she'd hoped were buried forever. Their chemistry is off the charts hot! And Jonas makes full use of that fact to leave no doubt as to his intentions towards JJ.

I was glad to see that Lucia, Noah, and the rest of the group were fully involved in this story as well. Lucia truly is JJ's partner in crime! The whole Blake Security group is one awesome family unit and they really come together when one of their own is threatened.

This book was so very well-written! The reader is immediately drawn in by the action, held captive by the suspense, heated up past boiling by the super-hot and plentiful love scenes, and surrounded by the warmth of all the love between the main characters as well as the secondary characters.

There were so many laugh-out-loud parts I ended up having to explain the story to my husband so he'd know why I appeared so demented. Only Nonna would use food as a weapon! Best dialogue of the book is this exchange between Oskar and JJ:

Oskar: I swear to God. You women might be more trouble than you're worth.
JJ: Said every man ever, but still all you boys keep coming to the yard don't you?
Oskar: Ain't that the truth?

I sincerely hope the Malones keep writing in this world. I'd love to see romances for the rest of the guys, starting with Matthias, please! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I absolutely loved the conclusion of Jonas and JJ's story, which began in Force. Enforce picks up right where Force left off and it grabbed me from the minute I opened the book and ended with me lacking sleep because I couldn't put it down until I finished. This book has all the elements that make a great read .... mystery, suspense, humour, chemistry between the couple and great sub characters.. The lines between work and personal blend seamlessly for the team members of Blake Security, they are not only colleagues but each others family and would do anything for each other, and this overflows to include the women they love.
Enforce
Jonas is my new book boyfriend ... he is the perfect combination of gorgeous alpha male, sensitivity, all around good guy who dresses well ... what more could a woman ask for. JJ is his perfect match with her sassiness, independence, and not letting her vulnerability from her past experience not stopping her from opening herself up to loving Jonas and being loved and protected by him.  It was great to see the topic of domestic violence handled so well, highlighting how it effects the victim and those who love them.  How real the struggle to gain back one's sense of self and be vulnerable in sharing their story with those who care.

I am truly hoping that Matthias' story is up next. I love the fact that all of the guys who work for Blake Security have these very mysterious backgrounds that are being revealed with each story. I highly recommend the Force Duet. Another fantastic read by the Malone Squared Duo.

Genre: Romance - Suspense, military
Stand-Alone: No - Read Force first
Part of a Series: Yes Book 2 (of 2) of the Force Duet featuring characters from the Shameless Trilogy (which you don't need to read first but to get further enjoyment of the Force Duet you probably should)
POV: JJ and Jonas
Steam Level: Burning Hot
4/5

Enforce picks up right where Force left off. The game of cat and mouse heats up with JJ's ex David playing a twisted game of hide and seek with JJ and the guys. The tension built quickly and kept me on the edge of my seat. A few times I had to put the book down and take a break from reading in order to decompress. M. Malone and Nana Malone also use humor and sex (and sometimes sex humor) to relieve some of the tension as well.

If you're sensitive to steam, then this isn't the book for you. Also, the topic it deals with (domestic violence) can be a trigger to some readers. The Malone Squared writers deal with guilt and fear in such a way that you get sucked in. It's visceral and honest which makes it downright scary at times.

Overall a fantastic book that's not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a sexy romantic suspense with alpha males and sassy females then the Force Duet is definitely for you. I look forward to reading more of these guys and seeing more of JJ and Jonas' HEA.

I received an advanced copy of this book for free from the author. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I read the Shameless series and fell in love with Jessica and was so happy to see her get a spin-off story. So Jessica and Jonas are great together….they met in the Shameless series and while Enforce is the book 2 in a new duet it is a spin-off so my belief is that you will enjoy the story more if you start from the beginning of the entire series. I loved their banter and the suspense was off the charts. Jonas is your typical alpha who wants to protect his woman, but it’s the way the team works together that makes this series shine. And JJ is strong and not one to be the weak damsel in distress, but when a ghost from her past appears it brings back the torment she suffered.

This was good, and maybe it was the advanced copy, but there were quite a few continuity errors that were pretty significant hence the 4 star rating. Like the directions that Matthias followed….where did those come from? And why would they not have figured out where Chameleon would hide out…..seriously the guys didn’t figure it out.

But in the end it was a great story and I loved JJ and Jonas. Now I’m curious what is happening with the other team members Rafe, Matthias, etc.

The conclusion is a doozy. Of course, with JJ, nothing less to be expected. The baby has been kidnapped and the entire group was going to get her back--whatever it took. JJ feels guilty. The man wanted her. She brought this down on them.

Jonas had to protect JJ. He had to make her understand no one blamed her. It was the vicious killer who'd tormented her years ago. There are secrets yet to be revealed. The people who need to do the revealing may surprise you.

This enemy is diabolically smart. He keeps outfoxing them again and again. Can they take him down? Will they get the baby? Can they keep JJ safe? Are they other forces involved?

The authors have put together deadly men with hearts that can be softened by a smart-mouthed sexy woman and a tiny human with demands they all rush to fulfill. The women are smart, stubborn and unwilling to sit home and knit while their men go after the bad guys. The steam between JJ and Jonas is sizzling. Enough to earn some jesting from the guys.

As well as providing this story to keep you turning the page, they set up the agent we get to read about next. I'm intrigued and wonder if they can match the terrific first two books in the series. They've never let us down. I can't wait to find out.

Enforce is book 2 in this romantic thriller duet and we pick up exactly where Force ended, baby Isabella, Lucia and Noah's daughter, has been kidnapped and it looks like JJ's abusive ex is behind it.
The whole team/family are ready to do whatever it takes to get her back. Their assurances don't make JJ feel less guilty. It's her Chameleon wants, she brought this trouble to her friends door. And as much as she would love to be involved in bringing him down there is no way the ever protective Jonas is gonna let that happen. The team dig deep using every trick they know to get the information they need to bring Isabella home. Little do they know that JJ is making plans of her own.

I love the way the authors have written the scenes with JJ an Jonas. The sexuality and banter they throw at each other makes you laugh and get a bit hot under the collar all at the same time. Written from 3rd person join this spunky bunch as they hunt a deadly assassin who has an obsession with one of their own.

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review - Naomi / Scandalous Book Blog***

This book was the perfect conclusion, picking up right where Force ended the story was seamless.
Once again filled with suspense, drama and a truck load of twists...I was hooked from beginning to end.

With the search still on to find Isabella and bring her home safely to her family, tensions are running high and JJ still feels as guilty as ever. Feeling like she is the reason as to why her god daughter has been taken she wants to be involved as much as possible.

Jonas will stop at nothing to get the baby back, however he is also fiercely protective of JJ and knows that he must keep her under tight lock and key to keep her from doing something stupid. After years of hiding his feeling, he will not loose her now!

The race is on and the men have a plan but the women have other ideas...

Will they get Isabella back safe?

JJ and Jonas relationship goes from strength to strength but with guilt eating her alive will they be torn apart before they can get their HEA?
