3 1/2 stars

I stepped into this book and immediately felt like I was missing something. Then I found that I had stepped into a series.
And even though this book is a stand alone: The characters interlink and unfortunately I felt a little lost though the whole book.

I stepped into this book and immediately felt like I was missing something. Then I found that I had stepped into a series.
And even though this book is a stand alone: The characters interlink and unfortunately I felt a little lost though the whole book.
However, that isn't saying I didn't enjoy reading Jax and Ellie's story.

Ellie isn't strong, but she's getting there. All the author provided for me was small glimpses into some kind of personal trauma that Jax was instrumental in rescuing her from. She's also fiercely protective of the small soul that she loves more than life itself.
Because of the things she's been through, Ellie doesn't trust anyone. Not even Jax.

Jax is a former Seal. Who has seen something the males in his family call 'The Boom' in action. It took the author mentioning this several times before I finally got what 'The Boom' is. And for the sake of spoilers, I won't explain it.
But Jax has this with Ellie.
I felt a little sorry for Jax at one point because it seemed as if he were stuck in a situation that he had absolutely no control or choice over.

But then as the story began to really unfold, Jax is right where he wants to be. Where his heart is telling him is right to be. We get to read a story of a very strong minded man that makes it his mission to protect what is his.
Jax is so sweet and giving and more patient than any man would really ever be.
Having an insta family isn't something that Jax ever thought he'd want, but it doesn't take long for one little girl to steal what's left of his heart.

There's danger from more than one source stalking Jax and those he loves. There's also so many feel good moments inside the pages of this book that by the end you'll be covered in the warm fuzzies. Oh, and there's also some smokin' hot lovin' going on too.

Because I felt like there should have been a little more backstory included so new readers like me could understand everything that is going on, I'm giving this book 3 1/2 stars.
