I absolutely loved this story!! We have seen Peyton from the beginning of this series. She has been somewhat on the fringes of Linear Tactical for years. Her daughter, Jess, is best friends with Ethan, who is Finn's son. Ethan and Jess are just absolutely precious together. Cade has been mentioned in previous books as well. This is a standalone read though. We get to know Peyton and Cade throughout this book and they are wonderful. Peyton has been working hard for years to give her daughter everything she could possibly need. She has avoided Cade when he has come back into town which hasn't been too hard to do. This time they run into each other and Cade has reached his breaking point. He has a ton of questions and wants answers as he always wanted Peyton. I loved watching these two figure things out together. They had some pretty big issues to work around and certain things that caused confusion and kept them apart. They didn't know that the other never stopped thinking and wanting them. This story was well written and I fell in love with these characters. There are a lot of sweet moments in this story along with the intrigue and action. Cade has been dealing with a stalker that is escalating. Overall, I just adored this story and I can't wait for more in this series!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
