Erick Lee struggles to overcome the murder of his boyfriend, and Roarke’s brother Flynn, a murder he is hoping to avenge but Erick is neither a killer nor a spy, and finds himself battling his way out of a sticky situation. Everett ‘Tarr’ Hawk can’t believe his run of luck or bad luck when he discovers Erick Lee hanging from a building as he attempts to hide from a local gang. On the run, trying to lay low, Erick and Tarr find themselves together when Everett’s sister and her children are once again, forced to hide because of the Tarr’s dangerous life. The relationship between Tarr and Erick is one of immediate attraction but Erick struggles with Tarr’s lifestyle, that of a hitman for hire, who may or may not consider the who, how and why of the people he kills. The back and forth, yin and yang of sexual attraction is heightened as our couple are forced together to protect Tarr’s family, and ultimately Tarr must protect the man that he loves. The limited $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. The secondary and supporting characters including Roarke and Wren (Zero Hour #1), and Everett Hawk’s sister Everly, and her children Cooper and Olivia, as well as Erick’s very colorful friend Trig. The requisite evil has many faces. FINAL DAY is a story of family and love; vengeance and retribution; second chances at a happily ever after. The premise is fast paced and entertaining; the characters are spirited and lively; the romance is fast and furious. The ‘hacking’ elements are limited; we are not privy certain details including Erick’s connection to Trig, or the how, what and why of the equipment Trig supplied.

Final Day is an exhilarating adventure of a read with an explosive romance. Erick and Tarr are two strong, sexy characters that have a magnetic pull and sizzling chemistry that draws them together while also drawing readers into their story. The romance between these is one rocky battlefield as they fight their attraction for various reasons which keeps the emotions rolling and the relationship stays tense with lots of snarky and cutting dialogue, but the attraction won’t be denied which leads to some scorching hot passion that singes readers with its heat. The story starts off with a climatic events that gets the adrenaline pumping and the fast paced and smooth flowing plot continues to escalate in thrills and excitement keeping readers on the edge of their seat.
