About this ebook

Grace Peterson is desperate, in hiding, and on the run after escaping a shadowy group determined to exploit her extraordinary ability to heal others. Her only lifeline--an unerring telepathic ability she shares with her sister--has been severed, leaving her alone and vulnerable. And time is running out...

Enlisted to bring Grace home is Rio, relentless member of the KGI. He's unprepared for his reaction to this wounded, damaged woman, and he's fiercely determined to protect her from those who nearly destroyed her. In Rio, she finds a safe haven, and for the first time...hope. But the mission is far from over. The danger Grace has eluded is fast closing in. And now it's pitching two lovers toward an unfamiliar horizon, with no place left to hide.

Ratings and reviews

3.5 stars. Highly repetitive. It drove me nuts! The story started off with a bang. Hooked me immediately. I was really excited to start reading this one. It has been awhile since I read a Maya Banks KGI book and I was really looking forward to getting back into the series. The beginning of this one was full of promise. The main characters, Grace and Rio were interesting and the suspense was spot on. Then bam, the repetition started. As I continued to read the suspense and romance kept me intrigued. There is even a bit of humor to lighten things up. But once again, repetition reared its ugly head. These statements were repeated so many times in the story it made me want to scream. 'Rio wasn’t going to kill her.' '....he’d risked his life. His team had risked their lives....' 'Before, I was ready to die. I had given up. I didn’t care what happened to me because....' 'But now I have people who matter to me...' '..... I don’t want them to die for me. I don’t want them to make sacrifices for me.' And that is just a sample of some of the repetitive thoughts. It really detracted from the story. All this repetition could have been used to up the action and suspense. There were lots of opportunities to up the intensity of the danger Grace, Rio, his team and KGI were in. But alas, this wasn't done. Wasted words. Am I going to continue with the series? Yep. you bet I am. However. I will go into them a bit more cautiously.

This book was the best for me so far in the KGI series!!! Read it in 2 days.

She has away with a love story and drama, I've had tears and laughed along the way. Thank you.
