Factory Slayer
They call themselves the Foundation for an Active, Optimized and Rich Youth, we call them the F.ACT.O.R.Y.
They took us in as broken kids, spared no expenses to put us back together. When they thought we were ready they sent us out to the world to live our lives. We were set loose but not free. Each of us owes them one Favor. And now they’ve come to collect.

Roxy
I’m a sniper and a bodyguard. I don’t chase after ghosts.
When The Factory demands that I rescue a runaway kid, I’m torn.
For sure, they must have someone more qualified for the job.
But I owe them.
They’ll never let me forget it, so I agree…
Until I find out I’ve been assigned a partner, a ghost from my past – Damon Walsh. He’s cocky, arrogant, and thinks he’s God’s gift to women.
I want to slap away the insolent grin carved on his face.
But we have to work together.
The longer I spend with him, the more he makes me squirm. I refuse to give into the hot friction between us.
He’s off-limits, and the second this mission is over, I’m going to disappear.
I just hope my heart will stay intact long enough to get away from him.
Damon
Roxy-freaking-Smith.
My contact from The Factory has lost their mind.
I want to laugh in her face.
There’s no way in hell Roxy will work with me. Our past is explosive.
She wants me.
It’s all over her gorgeous, petulant face.
I’d love to strip her down and show her what she’s missing, but we have a job to do. Rescuing a missing kid is my top priority.
Messing around with Roxy is secondary.
But the minute I get that kid back home, I’m going to show Roxy why she’s wrong about me.
It might not go anywhere, but I have to know.
Because for the last nine years, she’s the only woman I ever dreamed about.

Ce roman commence sur les chapeaux de roues, on entre dans le feu de l'action dès les premières pages en voyant l'héroïne dans son élément. Son métier est de protéger les célébrités, les personnes riches. Elle a l'oeil, l'instinct, le force et le courage pour effectuer son travail à la perfection.
Plus jeune, elle a été entraînée à être une vraie machine de guerre par une agence très particulière. Pendant ses études elle a du supporter l'arrogant Damon Walsh, et aujourd'hui, elle doit travailler avec lui pour une mission primordiale. Ils doivent sauver une jeune fille qui a été kidnappée pour être vendue.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le choix du milieu de trafic d'humains, car malheureusement, ce n'est pas qu'une légende, cela existe réellement. Pas seulement dans des pays pauvres ni avec pour clients des mafieux ou criminels. Olivia Rigal nous dépeint des hommes qui n'ont d'homme que le nom. Elle nous montre que ces actes cruels peuvent être perpétués par des femmes et des hommes riches et puissants qui se croient tout permis. On nous montre bien qu'ils ont conscience de qu'ils font, qu'ils en prennent plaisir, que leur folie n'a dégale que leur sadisme.
On enchaîne les étapes, les découvertes, les déceptions (pour nos personnages). Roxy et Damon doivent absolument libérer la jeune fille le plus vite possible et on ressent bien cette course contre la montre. Tout se passe très vite, ce qui nous tient en haleine sans jamais nous ennuyer, mais ce qui rend les sentiments de nos protagonistes trop rapides aussi.
Roxy agit plus vite qu'elle ne réfléchit parfois, sans scrupule. Ses intentions sont toujours bonnes puisqu'elle agit pour le bien de tous, pour la défense des innocents.
Damon est un charmeur et un allié de taille pour elle. Ils se complètent à merveilles.
Tous deux ont un passé douloureux, c'est pour cela que the Factory les a pris sous son aile et avec cette mission, ils payent leurs dettes. Mais s'ils veulent réussir à tout prix, c'est aussi pour un besoin de justice.
La romance est bien présente tout le long du roman. Nos héros se cherchent, se tournent autour, se redécouvrent et tombent sous le charme. Même si, comme dit précédemment, les sentiments vont trop vite, leur relation semble logique. Ils vont très bien ensemble.
Bref, du suspense, de l'amour, de l'action... Une histoire prenante et intéressante !
Merci Olivia Rigal pour ce service presse !

Roxy is a bodyguard, and the story opens explosively as the saves her teen superstar client from a rooftop shooter. Damon Walsh was her nemesis when she was being trained to be lethal by the FACTORY in her late teen years. He used to tease her, and he treated her poorly, so she has a very bad opinion of him. It turns out that they need to work together to take down a human trafficking ring and find a special girl who has recently been taken by this trafficking organization. When they complete this mission, they will both have repaid their ‘favor’ to the FACTORY. They decide that they can and will work together because the situation is so dire even though Roxy hates Damon. Damon, however, has been careful about how he presents himself to the world, and he only shows people what he wants them to see. As a result, when they begin to work together, Roxy learns that there is much more to Damon than she ever knew. Roxy eventually develops a begrudging respect for Damon, while Damon has always liked Roxy. He just went for negative attention when they were younger, figuring it was better than no attention at all.
This story will pull readers in from the very first scene. It is evident that Roxy is a tough and capable woman with mad skills in self-defense and as a bodyguard. It is also evident that Damon can’t be all bad, even though that is how he is presented to readers at first through Roxy's memories. The story unfolds and we get deeper insights into what makes each of these characters ‘tick,’ and we see how well they complement each other. It’s obvious that they need to find their HEA ending, but it isn’t clear how it will happen. Ms. Rigal does a wonderful job of finessing the arc of the story so that their eventual HEA ending feels natural and not forced. Within the story, there is some danger and there are a few nail-biting scenes, which make this a wonderful and suspenseful read. This isn’t a very long story, but sufficient detail and backstory are provided to make it feel surprisingly complex.
