Great action
I love this series! This novel was so action packed that I couldn’t wait to get to the next chapter. Hillary Has really gotten herself into a pickle of trouble and right now Radar is the only one that can help. The chemistry between them if phenomenal and you can see so clearly that they both have a heart of gold. I can’t wait for the next book to come out in this series!!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Intense!
One of the best things I love about Freya Barker's books is the realistic approach she writes her couples. Hillary is 36 years old. Radar is 40 years old. They've lived life and have matured. You won't get silly drama, you get nail biting suspense that pulls you right into the book.
In Lock & Load, Hillary and Radar witnesses a woman being beaten by two teenagers. With Radar's occupation at PASS Security and their connections with the police, we get to see the investigation into this murder that leads to a much more.
While the investigation is enough to keep me glued to the pages, we also get the budding relationship of Hillary and Radar. Like most of this author's heroines, Hillary is guarded and it takes some effort on Radar's part to lower the walls she has. Radar isn't immune to his own issues that Hillary has to work through as well.
To me, this is the realty vs. silly drama part of the story. I enjoy seeing this kind of relationship. It's much easier to relate to and I always fall in love with their happy ending. I look forward to more in the series!
Hillary and Radar
Hillary and Radar have mutual friends, as well as live in the same complex. A disturbing incident brings them together.This is another great read by Freya. I find that her characters are always so real. Action and suspense, with a little twist. I always enjoy the secondary characters in her stories, and this time is no exception.
