As a forty-one-year-old mother of three boys, working two jobs, Marya Berger doesn’t have the time or energy to consider a relationship. Especially after a lifetime of poor choices in the romance department. But when the disappearance of a young boy strikes a little too close to home, and a younger man she’s tried to ignore offers his help, she doesn’t stand in the way.

Single father, Dylan Barnes, the junior member of the La Plata County FBI team at thirty-three, has his focus firmly on his job and his son, Max. He’s certainly not looking to complicate his life, when he finds himself at his son’s soccer game, sitting beside the spirited brunette he can’t get out of his mind. Fate, however, appears to have different plans.

When an unspeakable crime draws the attention of the FBI, Dylan finds himself torn between his job and his instinctive need to protect Marya and her boys.

Dylan ist 33 und jüngster im FBI Team. Als alleinerziehender Papa hat er es oft nicht leicht. Marya ist 41 und hat von Männern die Nase so was von voll. Doch als Kinder verschwinden muss sie sich auf Dylans Schutz verlassen. Doch kann sie auch ihr Herz beschützen ?

Diese Folge hat es wieder in sich. Atmosphärisch sehr dicht mit dem Thema Kindesentführung , Pädophilenring, und Gefahren des Online- Gamings. Wow gefährlich, da Maryas Kinder ebenfalls gerne online zocken und merkwürdige Begebenheiten erwähnen. Gut dass Dylan für sie da ist, der jetzt seine Chance bekommt Marya zu zeigen, dass er einer von den Guten ist. Dabei erzählt Freya Baker in ihrer gewohnt klaren Sprache vom alltäglichen Irrsinn mit Kindern wenn man berufstätig ist. Logistische und finanzielle Meisterleistungen inbegriffen.
Auch die erotischen Szenen kommen in dieser ganz klaren Sprache absolut prickelnd rüber .
Ehrlich...
ich bin traurig dass ich aus Durango fort muss, es war so schön dort, im letzten Teil jetzt fast wie Freunde besuchen.
Fazit: ein absolutes Muß im Genre Romantic - Suspense ( leider nur in Englisch verfügbar)
