If you read Her Daring SEAL, book five in the series, then you'll remember Finn went undercover with Dare and Rylie to take down a human trafficking ring. Finn had to witness too many atrocities during that mission, knowing he had to stand by and wait before they could make their move. When that time came, with memories of all the girls had to suffer, Finn took pleasure in ridding the world of the evil men behind it.
While Finn doesn't necessarily regret his actions that day, he is having a hard time reconciling everything that happened. Right now though, he and the team, along with their women, are helping the rescued girls find new homes and trying to track down the babies that were taken from some of them and "adopted" out. But when Finn, believing he's become a monster, tries to request his discharge from the Navy, the team disagrees and Clint works his computer magic, thereby showing Finn as requesting a temporary leave, and Finn knows that's his only option as his teammates, his family, won't accept any other outcome. As Finn searches for redemption, he reaches out to a childhood friend, one that helped start a company specializing in certain assignments. It is during this time when Finn meets her...
Angie now runs the family business, a private investigation company and is determined to help reunite Dasha, the niece of a long time family friend, with her missing baby, Yulia. She's also working her regular cases, some of which are pro bono for those that need her help, yet can't afford it.
As Finn and Angie work the missing baby case together, the time they spend with one another allows their mutual attraction to grow, which also means their connection does as well. However, due to the demons Finn is struggling with, he tries to keep his distance from Angie believing he's unworthy of someone such as her.
Will Finn and Angie find Dasha's missing baby? Can Finn keep Angie safe from the trouble coming her way due to a separate case? Will Finn seek the help he needs? Will he be able to rejoin his team? Will he want to? Do Finn and Angie have a chance at a future together? Or will Finn let her go, thinking he doesn't deserve her?
One-click now to read along while Finn works on conquering his demons with Angie beside him offering her support. Please keep in mind as this is book six in the series, I highly recommend reading the stories in order for the sake of continuity and full enjoyment of the characters.
On a side note, I really liked the characters and the story. Finn and Angie are perfect together. There is one thing I could've done without though and it is purely a personal preference. As Finn discovers he can possibly solve the issue of the direct threat against Angie by catching the person at their weekly visit to a strip club, Finn is talking with the owner, also a headliner, prior to the "meeting." She asks some questions, one of them pertaining to how he knows Lou, Angie's Grandpa, and Finn tells her he's closer to Angie than to her Grandpa. The woman is disappointed but he essentially says if it wasn't for Angie he'd definitely stay and watch her show. Then he thinks how he couldn't believe he was actually flirting and that he's starting to finally enjoy life again. Quite honestly, that ticks me off. You have a girlfriend, you've said the I love yous, and now you're flirting with a stripper and saying you'd want to watch her act if it wasn't for your girlfriend. Oh and because you're flirting, that means you're enjoying life again. Umm, wouldn't you be enjoying life thanks to your girlfriend, being in love with her, and your sex life with said girlfriend? But no, flirting with a stripper means you're enjoying life. I'm sorry, but no, I don't want to see the male main character flirting with anyone else. Even if it is harmless, he basically just told this woman, yes, any other time I would love to see you take off your clothes. What the heck? Seriously? This was nearing the end of the story, and I have to say as we had spent so much time prior to this scene watching Finn and Angie fall in love, that then reading as he flirted with a stripper, was proud of his ability to do so, and that he'd want to watch her show if he didn't have a girlfriend, it sort of took away from their earlier declarations, their time together after the strip club scene, and their future HEA.
