Publisher Description
Trace Caldo’s smart mouth always gets him in trouble. As the youngest of three brothers, he’s used to scrapping to earn respect. But when he picks a fight with the wrong person, Trace ends up kidnapped, bound, and blindfolded with no hope for escape. And when a beautiful woman comes to his rescue and offers him a way to staying alive, Trace can’t refuse her.
Ana Marie Kelly appears to live a charmed life. Raised in a wealthy family, she has everything a woman can want—if you don’t count freedom. Ana’s always been under her father’s thumb, expected to do as she’s told and not bring shame upon the family. But when Ana makes a mistake that could send her life in a tailspin, she can only think of one way out—the handsome man in her father’s garage.
…and their only way out is to say, “I do.”

See AllLoved the audiobook
Part of the wonder of these stories is that, having read (or listened to) all the other stories in the series, it really is like returning to the family fold. I absolutely love seeing the Gallo and Caldo families again, laughing as they rib each other and falling more in love with these many characters. The honesty, the love, the affection weave around the reader drawing us even deeper into each story and the world as a whole.
Trace and Ana were wonderful together. I loved that Ana was a strong character who saved Trace as much as he saved her. The interplay between the characters and the Gallo and Caldo families was perfection. There was plenty of chemistry between the characters that kept me invested in their relationship. And as always, the story unfolded beautifully so that while their relationship moved quickly, it felt natural, since the behaviors of the characters demonstrated respect and love for each other.
Generally a light story, Ana's family was the only dark part of the story, what with him being a crime boss. I loved how that story line was resolved too.
Finally, the narration. What can I say? Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais? They were perfectly cast and as expected, provided a fantastic performance. I loved living through this story via the narration.
Dangerous and Sexy
Trace is an Alpha through and through. He finds himself in a jam when Ana comes to release him. These two both running to be free from her father, find that they have a strong connection. They both find out who they are during this journey.
Couldn’t finish
No character development. Im honestly shocked it has such great ratings. There was literally zero emotional development between the main characters but then poof, he instantly wants to uproot his whole life for this girl after less than 24 hours? It was bizarre. I skipped around a bit through chapters and it never got better.
