Whew. was not expecting this book to be emotional.

Parker is a strong, smart woman with a complicated life, and Xander is a man seeking justice while dealing with his own pain.
The author does a great job of writing their story with the pertect mix of romance and suspense. Overall, a great story about love and redemption.

This booked pulled me in from the very beginning and held my attention throughout. I enjoyed the characters and the connections that they had. Add this to your tor if you love stories about love, loyalty, and redemption 🤎

Curve

This story had me at the prologue. I didn't expect it to go in the direction that it did. Imagine crossing paths with someone and not knowing that yall are connected through a crazy situation. The author used something different for the condition that the baby had . I can't recall ever reading a book with that condition. Some parts of it are emotional. I would recommend this book.
