I wanted to carry on with this series because I enjoyed Archer’s book, and I was hoping to read Ranger’s book in the series, but I was also equally pleased to start Hunter’s book because of the hint we saw between Zoey and Hunter during Archer. However, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I was going to, and Hunter has set the bar very high on the book boyfriends list. 

This book has two points of view. The first is Zoey Roberts and she is on the run, that’s what happens when someone is stalking you. She ended up in Wyoming in her latest move and her last resort, but giving up everything was the only way to protect herself. New state. New apartment. New life. And for good measure, she takes a new job at the safest place in town – the local security agency, Reynolds Protective Group. But safe isn’t always smart. And working for the handsomest man she’s ever met quickly turns perilous when she’s faced with those washboard bs, broad shoulders, and charming smile daily. The second point of view is Hunter Reynolds, and he is nothing if not determined. From the moment he met Zoey, he was determined to win her heart. So, he pursues her. Patiently. Steadily. Until she finally lets her guard down. Just when Zoey believes Hunter could be her chance at happiness, she’s threatened once more. Hunter immediately goes from hot boss to protective bodyguard, and it’s not long before their forced proximity sends their attraction into overdrive. But when her deranged stalker grows bolder, Zoey remembers why she moved to Wisdom in the first place and why love will always be out of the question.  

I loved this storyline and the love story between Hunter and Zoey. It was so sexy and hot and adorable and fluffy all at the same time. I love dual POV in romance books and with this one it worked so well. You could see Hunter as a former cop knowing that Zoey was holding something back, but you just didn’t know what it was, and he didn’t want to pry. You also saw Zoey being really frightened and paranoid at what was happening but also trying not to fall for Hunter and failing miserably. I loved how protective Hunter became and how he was determined to make a safe space for her at work and at his home. Hunter was the perfect boyfriend, and he was such a dirty talker. I loved how Zoey was also determined to stay in Wisdom and how she will not let this stalker, or her ex-boyfriend ruin her life. I loved the suspense and action within this book, as the book was getting on, I just wanted to know if the ex-boyfriend was the stalker or if it was some random person. I enjoyed the small-town aspect as well of the whole town coming together to protect Zoey and they also wanted Hunter to find happiness. I loved the brotherly bond of Gunner knowing exactly what to do to get Hunter to admit his feelings.  

I loved that there was no third-act breakup or conflict, and I wanted this book to be 800+ and it still wouldn’t have been enough. I still want their mother to have their own happy ending. I’ve read the peak of Gunner’s book, and I really hope it’s not a pregnancy trope, but from the sneak peak, I have a feeling it might be, but we shall see. If anyone can make me like the pregnancy trope, it would be Rebecca Sharp.
