Norah Pax is tired of feeling like the liability in her family’s bounty-hunting business. Though her job and skill set are mostly behind-the-scenes research, recent events have shown that she can’t always count on staying safe behind her laptop while her sisters risk their lives. Deciding it’s time to learn to defend herself, she enlists the help of Dashiell Porter, former military man and MMA expert, to train her. Dash is a strong, scarred, and silent mountain of a man, and he somehow knows exactly how to calm anxious Norah and keep her feeling safe while giving her the skills she needs to survive her increasingly violent job. What neither of them expects is that falling in love might be an even greater adrenaline rush than fighting the bad guys—if they live long enough to enjoy it.
VERDICT Ruggle’s sequel to The Scenic Route (and her fourth novel featuring the Pax sisters) is a delight for fans of romantic suspense who also appreciate a sprinkle of humor. The epilogue, featuring an unexpected discovery by the fifth Pax sister, is sure to keep readers anxious for the next book.
