This series has been out for a while, but it is a good one and I wanted to post about it. This was the first book I read in the series, which happened to be the third in line. It is still by far my favorite though. Creed, tortured, alpha, sexy, tough with a heart of gold for Cody and the rest of 'Steele Street" and Cody, beautiful, on the run, mousy librarian turned goddess looking for a safe haven meet and run for their lives from the beginning of the book on.
I think I fell a little in love with Creed when he gave the very cold Cody chocolate in the library and continued to fall head over heels for him as his story unfolded and his loss was explained. The book has lots of action, some steamy sex and characters that you can really like. There is also the budding romance with Skeeter and Dylan in this book with some quality one on one dialogue between them that sets the reader up for their own story.
What I really liked about this particular story is Creeds heart. He is a powerful soldier able to run through bullets and kick the ass of any goons he runs up against, but he was unable to save his best friend and saw him die. The author lets the vulnerability of that moment change him and lets the reader into his world, his hurt and his love. And she does this with laughter, clubbing, a blizzard, hit men and the dynamic attraction between the H/H taking place. The book occurs all in one night* and you will not want to put it down.
This is a book I will pick up and re read again and again.
* minus the very end where a few months go by.... you need to read the book to get the rest.
